I’m currently seeking opportunities in biohazard or hazardous materials work, but I’ve been finding it challenging to break into the field. I have a strong interest in safety, containment, and high-risk environments, and I’m eager to apply my skills in a meaningful way.

If anyone has advice, knows of entry points, or can share how they got started in this line of work, I’d really appreciate the insight. Open to guidance, connections, or opportunities thank you in advance.

What are the personal skill sets you're talking about? Experience, certifications and background? Any military exp? Location limitations? Any other pertinent details?

I'm in aviation safety, my sister is in emergency management (EM) with previous military nuclear materials security, training & mgmt exp.

Government work is broadly going to be your best bet:

1) With no nuclear/EM exp - getting into any county or state wide EM in any role and then eventually pivoting to nuclear may be a viable path.

2) With EM exp - working for the government is still going to have the most opportunities, but you can directly apply to federal, energy, or laboratory work.

Best of luck! Keep us safe!

It can be so hard to break into any field, especially in this job market. I would suggest looking for roles on LinkedIn and Indeed. I usually have the most luck on those two sites.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

Anyone available to review my resume/guide me through this job search? I’ve been applying places for the past 6 months and am not getting responses. Unemployment has run out and I’m starting to crumble under the pressure of bills.
