Show of your Sustainability skills & qualifications

April 22nd, 2008 by Fabian

I know that I have been writing a lot around how to find a job in the sustainability field lately. But I got a lot of emails asking me how to find a job in the Sustainability field and where to post the CV/Resume for potential employers to see it.
So as a consequence I created the so called “Post your CV/Resume Forum” on our partner website SustainabilityForum.com.

The CV/Resume Forum is a place for everyone to

  1. upload their CV/Resume if you are openly looking for a job and
  2. for employers to browse the already uploaded CV/Resumes for a possible candidate for a particular vacancy you want to fill.

Have a look and why not post your CV there where a potential employer can see it?

The CV/Resume Forum

Fabian
