Industry Leaders Offer Advice to Job Seekers: How to Land a Job in Sustainable Agriculture

NEW YORK, May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, June 8th 2010, industry insiders will reveal secrets and tips for cracking into the high-growth field of sustainable agriculture in a webinar called "Landing Your Dream Job: Step-by-Step Strategies Toward a Career in Sustainable Agriculture" hosted by Paydirt Ventures.

Sustainable agriculture is one of the hottest new sectors for jobseekers and career changers alike, but finding jobs in the sector takes more than just grit and determination.

"We often receive hundreds of resumes each week from jobseekers hoping to crack into the field of sustainable agriculture, but since the field is relatively new, most are either looking to reinvent themselves or are very recent graduates," says Janine Yorio, Managing Director of NewSeed Advisors. "This webinar represents a very unique opportunity for jobseekers to hear from the people in charge of hiring how to find these jobs and - more importantly - how to snag them."

Speakers will include Amy Barberi, Director of Human Resources at Annie's Inc.; Susan Canarick, Executive Recruiter at Opus International; Juana Gomez, Director of Human Resources at Earthbound Farm; and Danielle Gould at BrightFarm Systems. Ms. Yorio will be the moderator.

Consumer demand for sustainably sourced foods has created a tsunami of change within the food industry. Even industry stalwarts like General Mills and Sysco aim to perpetuate more earth-friendly food production methods. As a result, unique and fulfilling job opportunities exist, but job demand exceeds the number of jobs available in this emerging sector. Successful candidates will need an edge over their numerous competitors.
