CareerBuilder launches green jobs site
South Florida Business Journal
CareerBuilder has created a Web site for environmentally conscious job seekers.
Goinggreenjobs.com allows employers to post their open green positions by full-time and part-time status, skill sets, job titles and categories, and geographic location.
Green jobs growth outpaced other job classifications by nearly 250 percent over the last decade, growing 9.1 percent between 1998 and 2007 compared with 3.7 percent for the overall job market, according to Pew Charitable Trusts.
“The focus on green jobs continues to increase year over year as job seekers look for more environmentally conscious career paths and employers make changes to protect the environment,” said Jason Ferrara, VP of corporate marketing at Chicago-based CareerBuilder.com, in a release. “One-in-ten employers say they have added green jobs in the last 12 months.”
The site also features information on green job fairs and events, green workplace news and information, and advice on how to find jobs.
Job seekers can post up to five different versions of their résumé to increase their visibility to potential employers in a variety of environmental areas.
