There are many ‘catch all’ and more focused sites and resources that cover more than one sector. In recent years, the growth of online content websites like YouTube and social media platforms including Facebook have enriched the information available to job seekers.

Developing websites is not cheap and content is relatively inflexible, whereas on social media platforms you can form groups and add content easily. Consequently, many areas that are under‐represented on websites are well covered on other social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube – issues such as local green work, events, global case studies, small projects and very focused topics. Another highlight is that you can more easily engage with other green professionals using social media.

There is also a significant growth of events, mentoring, interviewing, virtual networking and interaction using low‐cost videoconferencing platforms and social media. This helps to make communications more efficient and global.

There is a growing number of jobs websites and specialised recruitment agencies that focus on green careers.

Some of these resources are listed below, but please note that this is a very small selection of the content which may be helpful in your career development.
