On GreenBiz.com, I found that interesting article yesterday about finding "Green Jobs". Advice is coming from a headhunter specialized in corporate social responsibility and corporate sustainability. Although it is addressed to MBAs apparently, I guess there are useful tips for recent graduates as well.
One of the things that really surprised me is that the green job offer increased by 80% between 2006 and 2007, but decreased by 57% between 2008 and 2009. Two main reasons for this: Obviously, there has been a bigger economic downturn in 2009 than firstly expected by the markets, and also, most of the jobs posted are not really fitted for graduates, more for people with at least five years of experience.
Advice given by the headhunter include looking for intermediate steps to attain the final goal of working with sustainability, and trying to earn some experience before reaching for this final goal. Also, the jobs are spread more widely now than they were a few years ago, since every company and every sector is trying to go green somehow. However, most of the jobs can be found for social marketing in companies, lifecycle analysis or in the non-corporate sector.
Have a look at the article if you are interested.
