We’ve already shared some thoughts on how to avoid wasting time on job boards – but decided that we’d share our own method of keeping an eye on who’s hiring.
Rather than spending hours a day checking job boards, we use a Google Reader RSS feed from all of our favorite sites. As opportunities come up, you can “star” the ones that are interesting to come back to later, and mark the rest as read. This way your “starred” list will be all the opportunities you’re interested in – and when you sit down with a chunk of time to apply to jobs, you’ll have them all compiled in one place.

This month, we’ve shared the feed through a widget on our blog (look to the right!) and in our Greenhouse. We encourage you to set up your own RSS feed depending on your particular interests and which job sites you’ve found helpful.
The sites we watch:
- Greenbiz
- Treehugger
- Grist
- SustainableBusiness.com
- Idealist
- Justmeans
- CommonGood Jobs
- CleanTechies
- GreenJobs.net
- StopDodo
- Simply Hired & Indeed for specific search words (“solar,” “sustainability,” etc)
- If you have others that you like, post them in the comments section!
