I read some great articles and blog posts this week and wanted to share three favorites with you:
- Job-Hunt’s article on Defining the New Green Economy – Job-Hunt.org is jam-packed with resources to begin with, but this article on the topic du jour – green jobs – is a great primer on the new green economy and the four industries that make up this growing space. If you haven’t already, you may want to consider how your skills might be transfer or add value to the green economy as more and more job opportunities arise.
- What Part of You is Outdated and Irrelevant? over at Tim’s Strategy – A friendly reminder that there are early accomplishments on many of our resumes that are no longer relevant to our present day careers. It’s time to pull ’em! Remember: a resume is not your life history, it’s a marketing document. Every piece of information on there needs to be on-brand and contributing to a consistent message.
- Tory Johnson on how to address “You’re overqualified” in an interview – Tory spoke on Good Morning America this morning on ways to tackle the dreaded “You’re overqualified” comment in an interview. Great tips on how to turn the concern around as well as how to address several other common interview pitfalls.
