A New Job Search Engine Just for Green Jobs

A New Job Search Engine Just for Green Jobs I recently caught up with online job search expert and entrepreneur, Chris Russell, to learn more about a new site he has launched called Green Job Spider. If you are interested in learning more about green jobs, you will definitely want to take a look at Russells site. Heres what he had to say about his new initiative.Whats a green job? Any job that creates, supports, maintains or regulates recycling, energy efficiency or renewable energy products services.What is Green Job Spider? Green Job Spider is a job search engine, not a job board. Think of us as the google for green jobs. We crawl other green job sites and green employers such as solar, wind and  bio-fuel  firms, index their jobs and make them available on our search engine. When you do a search and see a job of interest, the link will take you to that job board or career page.How did you come up with the idea of Green Job Spider? I run many job boards and saw the green job market as a great new opportunity. But there were already lots of green job boards onlinemore than 50 of them scattered across the web. I realized job seekers are having a hard time finding and applying to this fast growing job market. Green Job Spider will enable them to search for these jobs using one interface. The site will also help green candidates learn about the types of green jobs and where they are through its blog and other resources.What are the benefits of your site over other aggregate job boards? Our job search engine is one of the first of its kind to focus exclusively on a specific niche. Most of the current job search sites focus on all types of jobs but  Green Job Spider will offer a more targeted experience for those who want a green job. Its crawler will search for jobs from solar to wind to biofuels. Job listings will be indexed nightly and all sources of green jobs will be hand picked to ensure quality. Its main benefits are making your green job search more efficient and educating people about what green job s are and how to get them.Do you have any tips for getting the most out of the site?
