Rave Reviews from Green Career Central Members

I found your green career tips very useful, particularly because I just graduated with my Masters Degree in January and was feeling pretty overwhelmed about tackling the search for a green job. Your  website and green jobs board are a wonderful resource. Over the last few months, I applied to several positions I found advertised on your site. Keep up the good work! Thanks,

It's a hard to find an investment these days that pays for itself many times over but the annual fee for joining Green Career Central is certainly worth every penny. The process laid out is structured and easy to follow. It takes you through the steps to get a truer understanding what your interests and skills are and makes you excited about researching your career options, while giving you a sense of progress and accomplishment. The weekly tips and "how to" resources on the website are time saving and are in of themselves an invaluable resource. Thanks Carol.

"Carol McClelland's What's Your Green Niche process was instrumental in helping me clarify and map out my career path during a time of great transition. Fully integrating my values into my career choice became especially important to me. The activities we did helped me look deeply at the places where I felt stuck, transform those blockages into action and optimism, and create a job search plan consistent with my values and long term goals.
