Get your GREEN DREAM JOB
This is not another generic “How to Write the Resume for Success” or “Sell Yourself” self-help article. I am simply going to let you in on a happenin’ Grassroots networking opportunity that has likely already sprouted up in your neck of the woods. It will have you spreading the GOOD GREEN WORD about the authenticity and the inevitable effectiveness of this unique Social gathering.
ENTER: Greendrinks / VENUE: Your local pub, Yoga Studio, or even Art Museum / SPOTLIGHT: Eco-Activists, Professionals, Students, and “HIP-pies”; such as- Green Building Consultants and Design Firms, Organic Farmers, Owners of Eco-conscious PR firms and Fair Trade Chocolate Companies, Bio-Diesel Retailers and Solar Power Engineers, students of Sustainable Economics and Urban Planning….. Your chance to get face-to-face and celebrate with people who you want to work for –or probably will work with- in the near future!
One Tuesday a Month, 6-ish p.m.: Beer and Wine are free-flowing, smiles light up the room, the food table is loaded w/ local goodies, name tags speak “open door”, and you have one mission….Drink, Eat, Shake hands, and Share your ECO-Passion with other GREENDRINKERS.
Last Tuesday I strolled into Evo, a Surf/ Skate/ Snowboard Retailer and Gallery in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. As one of the hosts of the Seattle Greendrinks that month, Evo opened up its Warehouse-size shop to about 500 Green Industry Players and wanna-be eco-activists—potentially, like yourself. Everyone there wants to connect to others that are just as excited about the Green Revolution! Thus, you’re bound to enter into the inner circles of Eco-Blissdom and fall ‘in love’ with the vibe of the social Eco-scene. Greendrinks has what it takes to keep people coming back for more- and telling their friends who have the same interest in Green about it! So, the party grows and the Dream Green job network explodes with opportunity!
Now go Network and connect with those who share your interest in re-constructing the Conventional business models to reflect this era of Green. Green is the place to be and you want a part of it not JUST because it is thriving, but because, DEEP DOWN, you know the Green Industry is making this world a better place to live for you today and for your kids in the future.—It’s only Natural to wanna be a part of that!
Interest-based Social Networking is the way you captivate the hearts and minds of your future employers, Green Industry mates, friends and neighbors. I have been to GREENDRINKS- SEATTLE four times now and I have witnessed its exponential growth and been a beneficiary of its authenticity. Authenticity is a blend of confidence, truth, influence, leadership, passion and cannot be faked. Greendrinks arose from peoples’ authentic call to others in their community for a revolution in the way we carry out our day to day activities- from the morning cup ‘o joe , to the afternoon business lunch, ending in the last bulb switched off. It all starts with caring and then sharing and this is where the job opportunity appears and my lesson is taught. –Bless, Maggie
