What Are Green Jobs and How Do I Get One? by Janay Scott

The recent buzz around town is about green jobs and finding green jobs. But what exactly is a green job? A green job is a job that provides a product or service that in turn allows consumers to consume less or produce more because of the utilization of the product or service provided. There are also green jobs that strive to be socially responsible and improve the environment. The Green Job Act of 2007 is a pilot program that is set to identify needed skills, develop training programs, and train workers for jobs in many different fields. Green jobs are said to build a strong middle class and provide people with new skills to help minimize damage to our environment. Green jobs are also said to reduce unemployment and poverty. Here is a list of 4 interesting green employers and why you should work for them.

1) Greenpeace: Greenpeace is an organization founded in 1971 that peacefully exposes global environmental problems and thinks of creative ways to promote solutions to sustain our environment. They work in protecting the oceans and forests and fight to limit global warming and the spread of harmful toxins. In 2008 Greenpeace teamed up with Ben & Jerry's to bring climate-friendly freezers to the US, this being one of their many accomplishments over the past 30 plus years. Greenpeace has offices worldwide. There are two offices located in the United States, one in Washington D.C. and the other in San Francisco, CA. Check out their website to learn more about this green company.

2) EcoVentures International: This non-profit organization supports the development of sustainable communities and livelihoods. Through this organization they work with community members to become socially and environmentally committed practitioners and entrepreneurs of sustainable development. They are based in Washington D.C. and have many volunteer and internship opportunities for those that are committed to seeing a more sustainable environment. Visit their website to learn more about these opportunities.

3) Green Roundtable: This independent non-profit's mission is to mainstream green building and sustainable design. They promote and support healthy and environmentally sound building projects through outreach, education, policy advocacy and technical assistance. Since their launch in 1998 they have been working with building owners, engineers, community organizers along with other influential people to meet the needs of the community. You can learn more about this Boston, MA based non-profit at their website.

4) Global Green USA: This non-profit was founded in 1994 and has been committed to addressing the global climate change and they have been primarily focused on creating green buildings and cities. Not only do they focus on addressing the problems of global climate change but they also offer green tips that make living an eco-friendly lifestyle easier. Check out what they have to offer eco-friendly minded people online.

The Perfect Career Quiz - How to Find the Perfect Job Match by Cherry Douglas

Are you wondering if there is a perfect job out there for you? Not sure how to find the career that will really be spot on for you? Try this simple 'perfect career quiz' to assess what would tick all the boxes for you.

The secret of the perfect career lies that in fact you already know what it is! It is not a matter of scanning the horizons - or the internet - and hoping you will spot something that looks right. There are lots of jobs out there you could consider, but unless you start with you, how can you assess them?

You need to start by looking within yourself. You already know what you like and dislike, what would please or frustrate you on the job, what would inspire and enthuse you. All you need to do is to sit down and tease out the detail and then you will have a template that you can use to measure new career ideas you are considering.

So try this 'perfect career quiz' by asking yourself the following questions:

Where would you be based?

At home? Office-based? Something non-conventional like a theatre? Outdoors? In the city or in the country? Same place each day or travelling round?

Who would you be working with?

What kind of people would your colleagues be? And what kind of clients (if any)? Would you be working mainly on your own or as part of a team?

What kind of hours would you be working?

Standard 9-5? Flexible with early starts and late finishes? Shift hours? Weekends with time off in the week? Freedom to work when you feel energised?

What kind of work would you be doing?

Analytical, brain work? Something creative? Practical hands-on stuff? Physically active? Dealing with lots of people? Teaching/training? Making systems work or events happen? Lots of variety in your day or a clear routine?

Who would you be working for?

Small or large organisation? Big city corporation? Charity/voluntary sector? Public sector? Health or education? Or would you prefer to be your own boss?

Rewards and promotion prospects?

How much do you need to earn and how much do you want to earn? What other rewards and incentives would be meaningful to you? What about promotion prospects - how important are they for you?

Don't rush through these questions with superficial answers. They are really getting to the heart of what is important for you in your work. If you find yourself in a job or career where there is a stark contrast between what you are doing and what you have answered to the questions above, you will probably find the work wearing and frustrating.

So take the time to build up a picture of your ideal job. Don't worry if you think it is a fantasy exercise. How can you find the perfect job if you have not defined what 'perfect' is for you? Once you have answered the quiz questions you will have a way of measuring the career change options you are considering. You may not get the perfect match first time, but at least answering the perfect career quiz will let you know that you are moving towards your goal.

Invest in Yourself - Protect Your Ability to Earn Income by James Lahey

In today's economy job changes are certain. Sometimes they can be forced upon people when companies go out of business, companies lay off employees due to cost saving measures or they can just simply downsize due to their competition or lost revenue.

Are you prepared to invest in yourself and protect your ability to earn income? You should take the following quiz to see if you are prepared to face the next round of employment cuts:

Have you ever conducted a honest and recent assessment of your strengths and weaknesses at work?

Have you recently reviewed your job description to make sure that you are not exceeding in your job responsibilities?

Do you currently hear about jobs that are available at other companies but are not advertised?

Has a co-worker left your company recently to take a new job? Have they recommended you for any open positions in their new company?

Have you looked into finding easy ways to gain further education or training in your chosen career?

Your 5 Step Guide to Career Change by Waller Jamison

When you are planning a career change there are seemingly endless tasks you need to do. Here is a 5 step guide to career change which will help you manage these tasks more effectively and achieve your goals more quickly.

Step #1 Discover What You Really Want

Some of you will know this already, having cherished a dream for years or perhaps recently discovered a new interest.

But for others, this is perhaps the most important step and can be the most difficult. If you have been in a career you don't enjoy for a long time, it can be difficult to imagine that work can actually be enjoyable.

If you know that you want to change career, but have no idea what you'd like to do, it's time for a little soul searching. You may have some buried dreams which you haven't thought about for a long time and which you never imagined could lead to a career. Dig them out of the shadows and have a closer look.

Or you may have developed new skills in your present job or your life outside work. It is possible that you once used certain skills which you did enjoy, but your job has now changed and this is no longer possible.

Come up with a list of any career which interests you. You can discuss this with friends and family who might be able to give you some clues about your skills or about interests which could relate to a career.

Step #2 Do Your Background Research

This step will help you to find out what the careers on your list involve, how you can gain the necessary qualifications and skills and information about salary, progression and training. It is easy to find detailed information about careers online, simply search for job descriptions or career profiles. One good tip is to try to talk to several people who are involved in the career, preferably at different levels. This will help give you an insider's view and enable you to narrow the choice.

Step #3 Update Your Skills

Once you have chosen the right career for you, you will need to make sure you have the qualifications you need. The amount of work required to complete this step will vary enormously, depending on your existing experience and the new career you plan to take up. Refine the research you did in step 2, by focusing on the exact training, experience and skill needed for this career. Look at the different ways in which you can train - on the job, by taking part-time or full-time courses or by completing an online qualification.

Step #4 Plot Your Course

Next you need to work out how you will get from where you are now to where you want to be. Will you need to stay in your present job while you complete a college course, or would you be able to get an entry level job in your new career? Or perhaps you need a job elsewhere, as a stepping stone, which can give you more relevant experience than you can get with your current employer.

Step #5 Find A Job

Once you are ready to make the move, it's time to find your first job in your new career. Using your research again, you should have a good idea how to go about this. You will also need to build a network of contracts to help you and you'll need to know how to create a good resume and covering letter.

Simple Steps That Can Improve Your Employability - The Importance of Work Experience by Samantha Pearce

Prospective employers are going to be looking very closely at your CV to see why they should employ you and not someone else. Anything you can include in your CV that can give you an edge is essential. Work Experience is one such factor.

Work Experience is an integral part of some courses but not all; therefore any opportunity for you to find a placement if it is not part of your course should be grasped. If it is related to your future career, that is all the better. For example, if you are considering a career in acting or the theatre, get involved with the University theatre. Even unpaid opportunities are valuable - they show that you are the sort of person who is genuinely interested in the field.

What does Work Experience entail? It means you will be taking up a position in your intended profession or line of work. It will be for a limited period of time.

The first thing work experience does is gives you an insight into the kind of work you are likely to be doing. You may be given a specific function or task to perform whilst you are there. It will give you a clear indication of whether you are suited. In some cases you may be given a range of tasks to do whilst you are there and this will give you an even greater awareness of your suitability.

One of the most valuable benefits of Work Experience is that in placing you in a real life situation, it gives you the opportunity to work with people for whom the job is their full time occupation. It is their livelihood. Working with other people requires you to develop skills and techniques to achieve a successful working relationship. It may be that the job you are doing will bring you into contact with clients and ordinary members of the public, where other skills are required.

A successful period of Work Experience will not only look good on your CV but it can also be a stepping stone for future employment.

Three Easy Tips to Get Ready For a Career Fair Near You by Patricia Erickson

Be sure to check out any career fairs that are in your area and open to the public. And, make sure you're prepared in advance. Think you're ready?

Not so fast. It's not just about dressing for success and having a great resume. Being prepared for the next career fair involves some research. You'll want to give yourself some time to check out industries and employers of interest (who will be in attendance at the event) so you can do some background work prior to attending.

You don't want to waste your time at booths of employers with jobs you're not interested in or with companies experiencing financial difficulties, planning major outsourcing initiatives, or even worse intentions of selling off their local sector. Your research will ensure you know which companies to seek out at your next career fair.

Here are three easy tips to get you ready for your next career fair:

Tip #1

Check up on the guest list and decide which industries you are qualified to work in and decide which employers fit the bill. Develop a list of employers you want to meet with and get started on some research on your targets. You'll want to find out what has been happening recently within the industry. What challenges has the industry faced of late? Also, get some ideas about current and emerging trends.

Tip #2

You've got your list of employers and know what industries they're in - now what? Well, you can find some of the info mentioned above at America's Career InfoNet, (http://www.acinet.org). Select the Industry Information tab and you'll have access to an industry profile, trends, projections, growth rates, skills in demand, and more.

Tip #3

You will want to research companies individually and to do that, you can check out their web sites to start. You'll get basic info on company history, new initiatives, and maybe some financials. For a deeper look at the company, use the internet and search for news articles on the company. A search of http://www.hoovers.com will give you even more insights into companies and particular industries.

By using these tips, you'll ensure you're reaching out to the right employers at the career fair. You'll have a good understanding of specific industries and employers, and hopefully you'll avoid any underperforming companies.

As an added bonus you'll be able to speak intelligently about the industry, emerging trends, and any new initiatives. You'll have a lot to talk about with prospective employers and make a great impression!
