对于学生来说，最具挑战性的工作之一是选择最适合他们的兴趣、意愿和技能的职业道路，并相应地设定他们的职业目标。这样的决定通常是在学术界的文化中做出的，在这种文化中，导师和同行主要熟悉学术就业市场，缺乏必要的知识来咨询其他类型的职业。我们旨在通过创建一个引人入胜且有效的工具来解决生态学和相关领域的这一差距，以帮助学生和专业人士熟悉生态学家可用的潜在职业道路的多样性。该工具是一款应用型纸牌游戏——生态学家的职业指南针——在此免费提供。该游戏是一种王牌游戏，包括 33 张牌，每张牌代表四个就业市场部门之一和九种职位之一的组合。每张卡片都表明了可能被聘用并在焦点部门的焦点职位上取得成功所需的七个技能类别的水平，以及焦点组合中典型工作的更具体示例。游戏中的信息很大程度上依赖于我们对来自 35 个国家的 315 名生态学家进行的一项全球调查的输入。虽然职业生涯早期的生态学家在发展他们的职业道路上面临着巨大而多样的挑战，但这个游戏可以帮助获得对整个生态就业市场的广泛比较概述，以及可能在不同道路上表现出色所需的技能。

The Ecologist's Career Compass: A game to explore career paths

One of the most challenging endeavors for students is choosing a career path that best fits their interests, wills and skills, and setting their professional goals accordingly. Such decisions are often made from within the culture of academia, in which mentors and peers are mainly familiar with the academic job market and lack the knowledge necessary to consult about other types of careers. We aimed to address this gap for ecology and related fields by creating an engaging and effective tool to help students and professionals to familiarize themselves with the diversity of potential career paths available to ecologists. The tool is an applied card game – the Ecologist's Career Compass – which is provided here freely. The game is played as a trump card game and includes 33 cards, each representing a combination of one of four job-market sectors and one of nine types of positions. Each card indicates the level of seven skill categories required to likely be hired and succeed in the focal position at the focal sector, as well as more specific examples for typical jobs in the focal combination. The information in the game largely relies on input from a global survey we conducted among 315 ecologists from 35 countries. While the challenges faced by early-career ecologists in developing their professional path are substantial and diverse, this game can assist in gaining a broad comparative overview of the whole ecology job market and the skills required to likely excel in different paths. We hope this applied game will act as a conversation starter about the diversity of aspirations and opportunities in ecology classrooms and labs.
