New Grad

You are finally done! You made it! Congratulations on finishing your degree!

Now starts the hard part, getting your first job.

Before 2025, the NOAA was the gold standard for sure thing careers. You could start in a variety of positions and move up through the GS ranks and retire making six figures at any one of a number of offices. That all changed with the new administration and the mass layoffs. The NOAA is hiring again, and while I would never advise someone not to apply, just understand, like most non-federal jobs, there is no guarantee they will keep you on for any set amount of time.

What else is there beyond the NOAA? All kinds of opportunity!

The private industry is a whole other world where you work within specific industries often directly with businesses whose operations are affected by the weather.

If you want to learn about all the possibilities ahead for you, reach out, and we talk about it!

Early Career

So you found your first job, you’ve been there 2 to 4 years and you are ready for something new or different. Join the club. Just because your parents or grandparents worked at the same job for 30 years does it mean you have to do the same.

Hopefully you made the most of your first job and learned all about forecasting, learned some coding, maybe GIS or how to fly a drone. If not, I didn’t either, but what you did learn was enough to turn your experience into the opportunity for your next big career step.

Whether you are looking to change from NOAA to private, from academia to private or public, from another industry into meteorology, or just advance to a more senior or managerial level, we can help you!

Our team all has experience changing jobs and can help you craft the right type of resume, cover letter, and approach you take to getting an interview and landing the job.

Lets discuss your next step. Reach out for short chat and we can go from there.

Experienced Meteorologist

I had a great job doing something I enjoyed and made good money and benefits, but then came Covid and do to circumstances beyond my control, I had to quit my job and look for something with more favorable working hours.

Whatever your reason for looking to change jobs, well into your career, you will be happy to know there are more opportunities than at any other point. Companies want to hire experienced meteorologists and even if the job posting is for less years than you have, they will give you a chance because they will always take a really good candidate if they can.

After being laid off in 2024, I was able to land 42 interviews in 11 months and received 4 job offers, 3 were six figures, the low one was 100% remote. I took the low offer because that’s what I needed. I don’t have a python or GIS or drone background. I do have a lot of experience in many different industries and I have confidence in my abilities.

Give me a holler, let’s chat and see what your options are.

High School

At some point growing up you knew you wanted to be a weather person. You weren’t quite sure what that meant, but you knew that it would be part of your future.

Many high schools worldwide will not provide much if any support for your journey into atmospheric science. It’s not that they don’t care, it’s just such as small field of study compared to things like doctors, nursing, lawyers, engineers, or IT. Your school counselor will likely not have much experience providing any sort of advice on what type of meteorology roles there are, where you can study meteorology, why it matters where you attend college, and the career prospects both in the US and worldwide.

The My Met Job team is well versed in all the things you need to know to get started on your path to becoming a meteorologist. So reach out today and let’s get started!
