If the environment is important to you, finding a "green" job probably is too. There are a number of things you can do to make your search itself greener, and with the right questions, you can find employment with someone who appreciates Planet Earth as much as you. Here are three things to get you started on a green job search: ## 1. Go Green...with Online Applications Online applications save the environment. Going paperless is a great way to save the planet while you look for [your next job](http://artisantalent.com/jobs/). While many companies have physical paperwork to fill out upon being hired, the application process can usually be done digitally. Consider this: 500 sheets of paper make up around 6 percent of a tree. With hundreds of applicants to jobs each year, you can imagine how many trees can be saved simply by applying online? ## 2. Go Green...by Knowing Your Employer** ** Before you apply for a job, consider asking the employer if they support a green environment at work. You may also be able to find this information on the company website, or [Glassdoor](https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Artisan-Talent-EI_IE761854.11,25.htm), so you can make a decision to apply only to jobs that protect the environment through environmentally friendly business practices. Looking for these things can help you determine if the employer is right for you. ### Look for information on the company's: - Recycling efforts - Communications department (is the company paperless, or does it still send mailers or physical paperwork?) - Electricals. Does the office focus on reducing its carbon footprint? ## 3. Go Green...in an Eco-Friendly Field** ** One of the easiest ways to know if your job is green is to pick one that already focuses on being environmentally friendly. For instance, if you choose to work for a park and wildlife district, the focus is going to be on maintaining the surrounding environment, including lakes, swamps, desert areas, or forests, so you won't have to worry about the area going to waste. ### Ready to find a new green job, visit our [job board](http://artisantalent.com/jobs) or [submit your resume](https://artisantalent.com/jobs/talent-application/) so we can help.
