Breaking into Green

By Greg Schreiner, CleanTech & Energy Recruiter

Greg shares his experience on starting a green career. Acknowledging the challenges, Greg discusses some of the opportunities he's seeing and offers advice on a number of proactive avenues that can open up doors to a successful transition to a green career.

"How Can I Get into a Green Career?"

The last couple of years have taken a toll on many families as jobless rates continue to climb with little insight to how the next year or two will play out. As a recruiter in the alternative energy sector, I have been watching things improve since the beginning of the year. Many companies continue to hire, and because of this growth I receive daily calls from interested candidates and the number one question is "How can I get into a green career?"

What Do You Want to Do?

Research states there are about 9 million green jobs currently available in renewable energy and energy efficiency, with many companies positioned very well to see continued growth. Even though there has been a consistent increase in demand for green sector jobs, it is still a competitive job market. Companies that are hiring are looking for specific industry knowledge and experience whether it is wind, solar, biofuels, electric vehicle, battery, geothermal, or some other related industry. . .
