Hi Tyanna, I subscribed to your channel in 2021 when I was still in undergrad and didn't know at all what I wanted to do in the sustainability space. But recently I've started my dream job as a sustainability scientist, and I couldn't do this without your support, resources, and insights from all these videos! And I've encountered all the interview questions mentioned above during my job search, so definitely helpful to all job seekers out there! Thank you Tyanna, and keep doing what you do!

@@TyannaBui thank you !!
Very nice video, there is a lot of value in it for your viewers!
I recently interviewed 12 sustainability professionals about their career path and about their jobs (2 Videos on my channel) and I also asked them the question of how they became interested in the field of sustainability. They gave very different answers each, some similar to yours... I also asked them about their challenges... and this was very interesting!
Keep on goin with your videos! The world can need so much more sustainability professionals 🙂
Hi there thanks a ton & for sharing your interviews. I’m sure it’ll be really helpful for the viewers here to take a look at them!
I'm working on a career shift and my dream is to work in sustainability. I just want to say, thank you for all that you do!
So sweet! You’re oh so welcome and hope the switch goes swimmingly for you! 🙂
Nice video? Could you please also explain some of the technical questions that are normally asked during sustainability role interviews?
Hi there, in my experiences for entry level roles there aren’t too many technical questions that are specifically asked. If it’s an analyst role, they could ask for an example analyzing data & communicating it; a researcher role, they could ask for an example using certain instruments and synthesizing the data.
What should I do be sustainability consultant after 12th
which company do u work in?
Hi! I was wondering if you offered mentorship? I’m currently in marketing and want to transition into sustainability but not sure where to start. Resources would also be awesome! 🙏
Hi there, thanks for tuning in! You can find the resources I have available on my content site: beacons.ai/tyannabui/resources
I feel these are general answers. Nothing related to suistanability. You could have answer concretely.
Hi there, thanks for bringing this up. The questions in this video were a reflection of the ones I've been asked during my interviewing process for entry-level roles, which surprisingly, weren't direct technical sustainability questions but were more general questions. In answering the general questions, it can be an opportunity for candidates to use examples that elaborate on their technical skillsets/education.
