Because of the current financial crisis and mass lay offs going on all over the country, many people ask if there are still places hiring. It may not be obvious but yes, there are still a lot of places hiring and companies looking to fill important posts.
According to a CNN report, industry giants like Google, Microsoft, Whole Foods, and other fortune 500 companies are looking to fill lots of jobs this year. You can read the whole story by following the link below.
Another industry that is gaining steam is the “Green” industry. More and more people and companies are doing their share to save the environment and this results to an ongoing demand for… err… green people.
Though it is evident that there are a lot of opportunities in the green sector, weeding them out can be a little difficult. I suggest you check out http://www.greenbiz.com if you are interested in this type of jobs. Greenbiz keeps themselves updated on the latest trends in the green sector and they monitor its relationship with other industries.
Other sites that list places hiring in the green industry

There are a lot of places hiring despite the current economic situation. You just have to know where to look, and of course, prepare yourself well so as not to ruin any job opportunity that you come across with. Once you’ve found green jobs that you’re interested in, make sure to do your research, tailor your sales tools, and make sure you win the job offer.
