There are opportunities in the landscape profession for all types of individuals. Whether you’re a natural socialiser or an introvert, a creative type or a science enthusiast, you’ll find a career you love. To succeed in any landscape job, you’ll need to be motivated by making the world a better place – for people and the environment.
You were born to create and are never far from your notepad, sketchbook or camera. When there’s a problem to be solved, you think big – no idea is too ambitious. You’re a multi-tasker and juggle your social calendar easily (your friends don’t know where you find the time). You’re active and love to be outdoors.
You’re passionate about tackling climate change and want to do everything you can to protect the environment. You love being around nature and get a kick out of watching things grow. If there’s a job to be done, you get stuck in and use your people skills to inspire others and make things happen.
It’s all about the big picture for you. You have your goals and you stick to them. You’re weighing things up calmly and making decisions, but not easily distracted. You love facts and stats because they help you figure things out and decide where you stand. People come to you with their problems because they know you always make the right decision.
You’re a science-enthusiast. You want to know everything there is to know about the natural world. You’ve always loved plants and animals and the more you find out about them the more amazing you find them. You’re level-headed and solve problems by looking at all the information available – including the details other people miss.
Towns and cities are the places for you – packed with people going about their lives. Places of opportunity and culture. You love people watching, figuring out how people behave and why. You’re the best person to have around when there’s alternative views because you see both sides and always find a compromise.
