Creating Green Jobs With Hirejam.com

Hirejam.com, Founder (2009 to Present)

After being involved with Green Task force for Keep Akron Beautiful in 2008 and not being able to find a job, I felt the need to do something involving green issues.

In 2009, the green jobs platform Hirejam.com was launched to help Ohioans find green and renewable positions within the state.

To promote the site, a Hirejam blog was created to post green news from across the United States. Also the the website was promoted on green driven Linkedin groups, comment pages on blogs and forums.

Hirejam.com also became a media partner for the "Learn Green Live Green" exhibit in Akron and "The Wall Street Green Trading Summit "in New York City.

Being involved with Hirejam.com has allowed to me expand my knowledge of Twitter and its applications like Tweetdeck and Thriwl.

Word of mouth online and offline as Hirejam.com grows every month. While we might not be Monster.com, Hirejam.com should be a viable green job search option for Ohioans by the end of the year. In recent weeks Hirejam has added other job sites, including Calfornia, Washington DC and Texas. Ohio is still the prmary goal, but far too many people out of work across the U.S.
