Go green is an initiative from Careerdialogue towards our belief in corporate social responsibilities. Careerdialogue.com announces the start of a “go green” campaign to encourage employers and job-seekers to lower their carbon footprint by using video resumes and interviews.
According to the Statistics, 159,000 Indians that lost their job just during the last year and more than 20,00,000 graduates and post graduates getting passed out from colleges each year. It stands to reason that each of these people will be seeking a new position or new job. If each job-seeker selects only a dozen jobs to apply for and sends a resume and cover letter through the mail there will be nearly four million sheets of paper used alone, not including the resources that went into the envelopes, stamps, and all the delivery of those pieces of mail.
Please note the benefits of "going green." Using online video resumes and interviews is becoming another green living option that people exercise to reduce their carbon footprint, or impact on environment. Rather than driving all around town, or flying to other cities for interviews, employers and employees can see videos of candidates and arrange online screening via online tests. By putting resumes online, rather than printing dozens to mail out, people are helping the environment. All the paper that is saved by avoiding printing helps to save trees, while avoiding mailing resumes helps to reduce the carbon footprint created during the delivery process.
Please help us support this cause and encourage the usage of video and online resumes.
