Green Collar Jobs are the Future!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is a great resource, especially in today's economy. We hear about all kinds of green collar jobs, but sometimes have difficulty knowing where to start. I like using http://www.EnergyCrossing.com to look for jobs because it has jobs only from employer websites and far more jobs than you will find on other job boards. This website is easy to use.
Very well written.

Was looking for a concise primer into the industry and Vault pulled through again. Great book.
Great book for the curious

As a soon-to-be career changer with a background in engineering, this book was a great feeler for the energy industry and the issues applicable to it. Since it's coming from the Vault, most of the jobs described in here are MBA type positions but an MBA isn't really necessary for most of the jobs in the energy sector. Ms. Chung gives a great overview of the different areas in the sector in the beginning of the book and then moves on to the descriptions of each functional position with salary ranges and a "day in the life of." Also valuable is the wealth of online resources provided at the end of the book. Buy this one if you're curious about what role you can serve in the energy sector!
Excellent resource - highly recommended

I've been targeting a job in the energy sector ever since I started my MBA program two years ago, and for most of that time there were NO books out there to help me. This is exactly the book I was hoping would get written - a short textbook on the industry (complete with useful equations), a taxonomy of jobs out there, and tips on landing and surviving the first job. There is no other book of its kind out there like this. The author is an extremely clear writer with a knack for making complex topics seem easy to understand. In the fall, I will start my hard-won job with one of the major energy merchants, and I definitely owe my success to this book. Thank you!
