1 European employer recruitment preferences in the sector Survey Report The survey gathered information on what characteristics employers in the Biodiversity and Conservation Sector are seeking in new recruits. The survey was conducted in three European countries: in the UK, in Portugal and in Hungary in 2016 January. Remarks on the survey Returns varied between countries (n=28, 45 and 18 in the UK, Portugal and Hungary, respectively). Portuguese employer returns included a survey error on some questions there are gaps in answers. Scores have been averaged but the data coherence tests show that the data is not normally distributed we should analyse with caution. o The data coherence tests show a power or Poisson distribution o This suggests that most respondents (across all countries) scored relatively highly, and showed relatively small differences in scores, for all the questions asked. Summary Across the three countries Teamwork and collaboration, Professionalism (timekeeping, preparation, dress sense) and Knowledge of the Biodiversity and Conservation Sector in own Country seemed to be the top three factors. A possible conclusion is that there are in fact no clear preferences for the questions asked when examined collectively, although there are apparent differences, small though they are, when explored by country (as shown in the tables below). Teamwork seems to be the most important trait in the UK, whereas in Hungary and in Portugal field skills gained the highest rank (1 st and 2 nd, respectively). Knowledge of the biodiversity sector internationally does not seem to be important in either of the countries, nor practical (land management) or analytical skills. It is confirmed by the survey results that none of the countries found formal qualification a top priority, which probably means the shift towards flexible careers pathways from rigid one-way career models across Europe. Willingness to continue learning, holistic approach, English language and driving license are still important. In Hungary the sound knowledge of some important animal or plant groups has been mentioned by many respondents, which means this sort of academic skill still has a great value in Hungary. Students advised to be aware of the entire collection of the questioned attributes as all of them has some relevance. However, country by country they might face slightly different expectations from the employers world.

6 Languages, especially English knowledge Languages, especially English knowledge List of other factors in Portugal Volunteering Knowledge about the institution Interpersonal relationship English as a second language General knowledge about related fields Ability to work in team A similar study from the USA Graduate Student s Guide to Necessary Skills for Nonacademic Conservation Careers BLICKLEY et al Conservation Biology, Volume 27, No. 1, Graduate education programs in conservation science generally focus on disciplinary training and discipline-specific research skills. However, nonacademic conservation professionals often require an additional suite of skills. This discrepancy between academic training and professional needs can make it difficult for graduate students to identify the skills and experiences that will best prepare them for the conservation job market. The paper analyzed job advertisements for conservation-science positions and interviewed conservation professionals with experience hiring early-career conservation scientists to determine what skills employers of conservation professionals seek; whether the relative importance of skills varies by job sector (government, nonprofit, and private); and how graduate students interested in careers in conservation science might signal competency in key skills to potential employers. In job advertisements, disciplinary, interpersonal, and project-management skills were in the top 5 skills mentioned across all job sectors. Employers needs for additional skills, like program leadership, conflict resolution and negotiation, and technical and information technology skills, varied across sectors. Our interview results demonstrated that some skills are best signaled to employers via experiences obtained outside thesis or dissertation work. Our findings suggest that graduate students who wish to be competitive in the conservation job market can benefit by gaining skills identified as important to the job sector in which they hope to work and should not necessarily expect to be competent in these skills simply by completing their chosen degree path.
7 Characteristics used in Blickley et al (USA) Specific and analytical disciplinary (knowledge of specific ecosystems,conservation issues or analytical tools) Project management (process of managing projects that fall within a mission of an organization) General disciplinary (knowledge of general scientific and conservation principles) Interpersonal (ability to engage in cooperative learning and produce products with a team of people) Field experience (ability to conduct research in the field; specific field skills) Written communication (ability to write effectively in any forum relevant to the job title) Program leadership (the process of leading and developing projects that fall within a mission of an organization) Networking (ability to identify and bring together many individuals on the basis of common ideas or goals) Personnel leadership (process of managing personnel or cooperators in an organization) Technical, information technology (competency in using basic and specific software and technical tools) Oral communication (ability to speak effectively in any forum relevant to the job title) Outreach communication (ability to connect ideas or practices to the efforts of other organizations, groups, specific audiences or the general public) Independent, self-starter (attribute of a person who is motivated to accomplish new endeavors on his or her own) Fundraising, monetary (experience raising money or managing budgets to support a research goal or a mission of an organization) Other communication (ability to communicate in unspecified manner) Ability to complete tasks (ability to complete projects in a timely and efficient manner) Inter-, multidisciplinary (training that crosses traditional boundaries between academic disciplines or schools of thought) Cultural, international experience (training that promotes understanding among cultures and countries) Conflict resolution, negotiation (ability to negotiate and resolve conflict with diverse stakeholders to advance the mission of an organization) Multitasking, prioritization (ability to balance multiple activities, simultaneously) Recommendations to graduate students (1) Focus on key skills. Gain competency in transferable skills. Broaden your potential for future opportunities by focusig on areas of overlap. (2) Decide on a career track early in graduate training and tailor your graduate work accordingly.
8 (3) Be creative and go beyond minimum requirements. View it as insufficient to graduate with only coursework and dissertation research. (4) Start collecting job information early. Develop a process to scan and evaluate job advertisements long before you are ready to apply so you develop the skills needed for the positions you find appealing. (5) Be strategic. Identify the job skills that make you stand out, match these to positions that require these skills, and then augment your profile with complementary skills. For example, if you are a better field biologist than a people person, build your resume to that strength by gaining quantitative analytical skills. (6) Be proactive. If your program does not offer what you need, make your own opportunities. Contact potential future employers and volunteer. (7) Do not undervalue your experiences. Potential employers may value your experiences in group leadership, event planning, or volunteer positions even if they are not directly linked to, or gained during, your graduate degree. (8) Talk to conservation professionals. Strategic planning for a career outside academia will be difficult if you only interact with academics. (9) Recognize time constraints. Budget time between the conflicting interests of finishing your degree, fulfilling work obligations, and gaining a breadth of skills.
