Tip of the Week

Off to a Green Start

Now that the thesis is written and the last exams have been graded, all a recent grad has to do is find a job. Fortunately, the increase in green consumerism could mean more options for grads who are interested in taking their concern for the planet to work. As you embark on the hunt for a new career, why not look for one that will do the planet some good while beefing up your resume?

To simplify the search, several websites have cropped up recently that specialize in eco-conscious jobs, in just about every industry. At Green Jobs you can search for positions in the renewable energy field, while Sustainable Business' Green Dream Jobs service allows you to browse positions in including finance, policy and travel. And at Environmental Career you'll find postings for openings at great green organizations like the WWF and Rainforest Alliance. Also, don't forget to check out your university's job site, as many have added a green career category.

Finally, if there is an organization you respect, go directly to their website to check for openings. If the positions they list don't seem to fit your interest or experience, it never hurts to reach out anyway. Some companies may not realize they need your help until you let them know you're interested.

Happy hunting!
