You should see a career counselor. Work with someone who can review your resume and help you get interviews - I don’t know if that’s your undergraduate career services or a recruiter at this point..: I’d reach out to both. Also know that the advances by your manager were inappropriate and illegal and are not reflective of you. Also, don’t let yourself get wrapped up in workplace politics in the future — you say they didn’t do their part because they wanted to see the manager fail… they could have also wanted you to fail. Some people are just petty and mean. Also realize that getting laid off is not the end of the world - I got let go from my first job as a lawyer (financial crisis) and I was so upset because I couldn’t let myself believe that it has nothing to do with me as a person, even though I understood it. I would be open to all opportunities and see what comes your way. You really have no idea what you want to do, even if you think you have an idea. Be open minded when an opportunity comes up. I had a hard time finding another job after I got let go as a first year associate… the market was saturated with so many lawyers at the time and there was little hiring being done… I ended up taking an internship role (that was paid) to at least have something on my resume, which then turned into a full time job and I’ve been there ever since. It is also not in the exact area I was aiming for at the time.
Maybe try networking with alumni from your school? I hate it when a school doesn’t have post graduate career services! They should be trying to help recent graduates too! It’s probably because they are focusing on current students because those are stats they are measuring.
I saw someone posted on applying for EY entry level - I think all the big 4 accounting firms need associates badly. It could be a stepping stone and I think there will be a lot of “green” or “clean” consulting that will be done with ESG.
Maybe I’m wrong and others can tell me but maybe it’s time to look outside of your degree. There’s so many great companies hiring right now and it’s almost worth giving a shot at something new.
Also if you haven’t already.. update LinkedIn and set yourself as you are looking at opportunities i whatever areas you’d want to work in.
I wouldn’t go back for more environmental based masters then unless you fully know it’ll be beneficial. I would go for mba or something like that so you can get more into other career paths.
if you are collecting unemployment, they often have resources to help folks, transition from one career to another, resume reviews and training / support to look for and get interviews.
Op: how is your interest on stem - tech? May be skill up by self learning via udemy, Coursera etc. friend of mine had similar issue after completing env science. She worked as hydraulic engineer for couple of year, once she lost that job, she couldn’t find any for another year so she pivoted to tech business analyst position. She did ccba cert, studied light programming and technical writing etc. fast forward 7 years, she is now director of IT in reputed bank in east coast and probably makes 250k+ as TC.
Where are you located? You could work in cannabis. Start as a horticulturist,learn the regulations and do inventory management. This could get you started on a path towards grow manager, quality assurance, or other cannabis jobs including horticulture or regulatory consulting, or move over to manufacturing, policy, etc.
Talk to your alumni association. Get active on linkedin. Follow companies you want to work for and ppl you admire. Volunteer if possible, even if just once a month.
Second, breakdown why you love ES and chose it as your major. And list your strengths and skills even if not ES related.
Then from those lists compare to current job postings in your area.
Then look at job postings in other areas. You may need to relocate to snag that dream role.
I have a BA in Renaissance English. I worked in insurance for years bc I loved learning new things, being challenged, comparing (novel to play or claim to policy), writing and listening were my strengths. I still read and go to plays in my spare time, but my passion didn't apply to real-life job prospects directly.

I dont think u should listen to us given most of us work in business
Apply to a big4 or Accenture in sustainability area, starting as a junior there will pay a lot more and learn the technology side of it on the job
Most entry level jobs don’t require any particular type of education or skill. Sometimes they have the requirement in the job posting, but it’s not at all necessary to be successful. Just get out there and build some momentum and self-confidence. Maybe try a temp agency to see what kind of environments you like. I really feel for you because I remember how hard it was to get that first job and I also had to settle for close to minimum wage, but it’s only temporary and will only look up from here. Best of luck to you.
I would say search for your dream job online and get a certification that gets you close to it...that way you can grow into the role.
Feel your pain. Look for adjacent roles to your degree. Things like project management, copy editing, social media within organizations that have an environmental or science component. Even startups to gain exposure and break into something better. Teaching is another option. With labor shortages now is a good time to make the leap. Only apply and interview to roles that will at least 3x your compensation.
