Tour: Networking with Those Who Share Your Values
Ever heard the saying, "Finding a job is all in who you know?" This is particularly true when you are searching for a green career. As you've probably already discovered, green job openings aren't always easy to locate. In addition to the current economic downturn, the green economy is just forming. As a result, the tools we usually rely on to find job openings online and in the community may not produce the results we need and expect. Building your network is important to your job search and your success in doing your job. Research indicates that 70-80 percent of job openings are found through people you know. Therefore, creating a thriving network of people with a variety of backgrounds in your local area and your industry is one of your top priorities.
