5milliongreenjobs.org

Hello All,



I wanted to introduce the job board 5milliongreenjobs.org . Our mission is to actually create 5 million Green Jobs, and we intend to do so by allowing unlimited job postings.



Energized by green solutions proposed by candidates during the 2008 presidential campaign, 5MillionGreenJobs.org (5MGJ) is the response inspired by the promise that “ordinary people can do extraordinary things”. 5MGJ is the liaison between green sector companies and the diverse population… Continue

Howdy from Eggsprout.com

Just wanted to take quick second to introduce myself as well as our job board for Seattle Technology Jobs, Eggsprout.com. We've been live for a little over a month and working on some really interesting (at least I think so) stuff in this space.

Green Jobs

This creates a huge opportunity for the American workers and a huge opportunity for recruiting professional. Many "green companies" have already started to add to their recruiting ranks and many "green recruiting firms"… Continue

JiUS correction

Just a quick note to say that my earlier post on Jobs in the US was somewhat incorrect. They are not currently for sale due to the bankruptcy file by their parent owner. They did retain a broker before that news to investigate a sale but put it on hold for the moment. I received this email from their general manager Sam Eddy;



"I wanted to clarify two points you made in your posting. First - JobsintheUS is not presently for sale. I don’t know what your source is for this… Continue

Video is here, why deny it........

I recently posted a blog regarding a very successful job hunting campaign by Tourism Queensland for "The best job in the world" (www.islandreefjob.com). This campaign went viral, no job (other then Obama's) has created so much press. The result has been 20,000 video applications since the start of the campaign, from all around the world.



I was recently told that the only reason that the video application is so high, is because this is what the client asked for...... A rather naive… Continue
