Follow your interests and good opportunities should come your way! Lizzie is a forester who moved to Humboldt County after studying forestry and business at UC Berkeley. She is a member of the CR Forestry Advisory Committee and manages the @realwomenintimber Instagram account.   Originally from LA, she works in a truly interdisciplinary role in timber finance, the intersection of business, economics and forestry. The opportunity to work outdoors and the quality of life provided by rural community like Humboldt brought her here.  In this podcast she shares her private industry tips for writing professional resumes, cover letters and networking. Some of her key tips for the private sector (we will talk federal resumes later) include submitting a cover letter, even if it’s not required. It shows the employer you are interested, and allows you to demonstrate your understanding of the position you are applying for. She also urges us to be genuine and use our resumes to share with your employer who you are and why you are a good fit for the position.
