• Follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/sustainablejobs.  I post my own observations on the CSR job market, tips for the CSR jobseeker, and info on my searches.
• Upload your resume to the database. http://www.ellenweinreb.com/UploadResume.php Many of my searches require someone at the MBA level.  I would love to have your resume in my database.  This is how I can find you should the right fit search come my way.

For the Net Impact Chapter

• Add a link to my website on your website. This page of job postings is used heavily by Net Impact members- http://www.ellenweinreb.com/Sustainability_Jobs.html
• Encourage your Career Office to bring me on as a CSR Coach. I offer a well-received presentation entitled “The Mission Driven Job Search” as well as individual coaching sessions.  Many of the career center staff find the presentation educational too.  I have held CSR Coaching contracts with Yale, Duke, Stanford, University of Maryland and Haas.  Should your career center be interested in my services, I would be happy to provide a proposal. References available upon request.

I wish you and your chapter the best of success in the coming academic year.  Feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas. - Ellen”

WAYS TO CUT DOWN:

1. Print double-sided: Default your computer to print double sided.

–Double click the printer
–Select Printer | Properties from the menu
–Click the “Printing Preferences” button on the General tab
–Go to the Finish tab
–Check “Print on both sides”
Or… when printing
–”Print”
–Go to “Properties”
–Select “Finishing” tab
–Check “Print on both sides”

2. Print multiple slides on one piece of paper.
–In the print dialog box, choose “Handouts” from the “Print what” drop-down, and then choose the number of “slides per page” you want.

3. Use print preview before you print.

4. Print only the necessary pages in a document instead of the whole thing.

5. Minimize the number of drafts you print.

6. Reuse paper that has only been printed on one side.

7. Use electronic versions of documents when possible.

8. Use “Shrink to Fit” - an option in print preview dialog boxes which will shrink content down to fit on fewer pages.

9. Ask professors to provide their own printed slides to avoid jamming student printers right before class. Also, copiers use less ink and energy than printers!

10. Give yourself a few extra minutes to print so that you can wait in the event of a bottleneck or a printer jam rather than reprint to another printer.

11. Talk to your professors:
–Ask them to print two-sided handouts if they don’t and thank them if they already do this!
–Ask for readings in digital format
–Request to receive and submit homework electronically
