How to Go Green: Job Search
(by Planet Green )
When unemployment is rising, it might not seem like the best time to go on a job hunt. However, the current economic crisis is helping bring to light some of the systemic problems that need fixing. Thus, the green job market may be the right direction for more reasons than ever. To find the fulfilling job of your green dreams, there’s help wanted at Planet Green’s “How to Go Green: Job Search.”
Top Tips for Greening Your Gig Quest
Start with Your Current Job: While you conjure up images of the ideal, earth-friendly career, there’s nothing stopping you from greening your current job. You can start with your own wardrobe (used) and commute (public transportation, bicycle, car pool) and then get your co-workers involved.
Follow Your Heart (not the paycheck): We may live in a capitalist society, but there will always be a place for artists, activists, and eco-visionaries. Setting up a five-year plan based mostly on salary is likely to stunt your radical growth. Think bigger. Follow your heart. Your planet is counting on you.
Volunteer: The best way to learn what you like is to try it. By volunteering, you’re able to get a taste of what’s out there while simultaneously putting your time and skills to good use. Slowly but surely, your resume will get greener and you’ll get closer to discovering your talents and passions.
