Description
With this book, you can translate your concern for the environment into a career with an organization whose management has made a commitment to environmental excellence. Green at Work is the first source of information for nontechnical but environmentally concerned jobseekers who want to learn about career opportunities with environmental companies or within the newly emerging "green" corporate culture. This book explains how individuals with a variety of business skills and backgrounds can identify career options that have an environmental focus or can seek out companies that are working toward being green. Topics covered include: what constitutes a green career; how environmental factors have affected the finance, insurance, energy, and consumer products industries; how to use networking, interviewing, and other resources effectively; and where to find more information on environmental issues and employment opportunities. Green at Work offers profiles of individuals - ranging from grassroots workers to environmental officers at major corporations - who have successfully integrated their environmental concerns with their career paths. In addition, more than 250 companies and organizations are profiled: profit and nonprofit, large and small, established corporations and entrepreneurial firms. Included with the profiles are contact names, addresses, and telephone numbers for readers who wish to learn more about environmental initiatives being taken by the companies featured.
