5 ways to go Green at the Office!

Greener homes are in the spotlight these days, but what about the other places where many of us spend huge chunks of our time--our offices? Some simple changes of habit can save energy and resources at work and these small steps can be multiplied by persuading the powers-that-be at your workplace to adopt environmentally friendly policies.
1. Be bright about light
Artificial lighting accounts for 44 percent of the electricity use in office buildings. Make it a habit to turn off the lights when you're leaving any room for 15 minutes or more and utilize natural light when you can.
2. Maximize computer efficiency
Computers in the business sector unnecessarily waste $1 billion worth of electricity a year.Make it a habit to turn off your computer and the power strip it's plugged into when you leave for the day. Otherwise, you're still burning energy even if you're not burning the midnight oil. During the day, setting your computer to go to sleep automatically during short breaks can cut energy use by 70 percent. Remember, screen savers don't save energy.
3.Ramp up your recycling
Make it a habit to recycle everything your company collects. Just about any kind of paper you would encounter in an office, including fax paper, envelopes, and junk mail, can be recycled.
4.Create a healthy office environment
Make it a habit to use nontoxic cleaning products. Brighten up your cubicle with plants, which absorb indoor pollution.
5.Go paperless when possible
Make it a habit to think before you print: could this be read or stored online instead? When you receive unwanted catalogs, newsletters, magazines, or junk mail, request to be removed from the mailing list before you recycle the item.

Looking for a job after graduation?

Searching for a job can be very stressful for many students nearing graduation. Unfortunately, all the education in the world doesn’t teach you how to go out and find the jobs you need and want after high school/ college. When you know where to look for a job, the search simply becomes a process instead of something that will stress you out.

Tips for finding a job after graduation

1.Know yourself
What do you enjoy doing? What are you good at? What valuable skills do you possess that you could offer an employer? Can you give examples of these traits?

2.Think outside the box
For example: If you enjoy crunching numbers look at all industries that need Accounting/Finance/Economic people from accounting firms to hospitals to software companies.

3.Get organized
Whether it is a file of folders or an excel spreadsheet, do whatever works for you to track your job search activity. Try to keep track of when you applied, how you found the position, and the end result.

4.Take advantage of on-campus interviews
We had many opportunities this fall for on-campus interviews and did not fill all schedules. What happens? The employer cancels and reconsiders whether to return to Clemson for future recruiting needs.

6.Network!
Let others know you will be graduating and looking for career opportunities. This includes: organizations, family, friends, etc.

7.Set your job search goals
What goals you set will depend on your own search and timeline. Good ones to think about are: How much time are you going to put into the search? How bad do you want a job after graduation? How many organizations and contacts do you want to target each week?
