Green Your Resume: Volunteer

With green tech on the rise, companies are increasingly looking for environmentally aware new hires. This week's tips tell you how to beef up your eco-credentials to land the job. 

Tip #2: Give time.

Trying to enter a new field when you lack experience can be frustrating. Luckily, if you're looking for green work, it's easy to get your hands dirty by volunteering. The National Park Service, for one, is always looking for help, and Sierra Club Outings can help you find conservation projects all over the world. To stay local, consider connecting with your town's Sierra Club chapter to find out what kind of help it needs.
