Last week Clark University’s chapter of Net Impact held an event co-sponsored with GSOM Career Services entitled Writing a Green Resume That Gets Results Webinar. The event involved informing students about Net Impact followed by presenting a pre-recorded webinar that was held for Net Impact members in January 2012 on how to green your resume for results. The presenter of the webinar was from 20minuteresume.com and went through the different steps on how to put together a resume. What was unique about this webinar was the notion of ‘greening’ your resume. By ‘greening’ your resume the presenter meant that you need to utilize the appropriate language that is employed in green businesses. This strategy is really no different than using industry-specific language in any field. For a green resume, one needs to use green buzzwords. After the webinar, Cindy Richards from GSOM Career Services was available to students for questions. Students had a lot of great questions for Cindy. Overall, students found the event helpful and as a Co-Leader of Net Impact’s Clark University chapter, I plan to hold a similar event next year for students.
