Looking for a Job with Purpose?

Ted Ning is the Executive Director of the LOHAS Conference, Executive Editor of the LOHAS Journal and LOHAS.com. LOHAS is the movement that focuses on educating and providing resources for businesses and individuals on the market of healthy and sustainable lifestyles.

In my position at LOHAS I often get emails and calls asking if we have any positions available. I also get many emails and meetings over coffee to discuss options with colleagues who are “between things” -- which is the Politically Correct way of saying they are out of work.

The fact that there are more people looking for fewer positions makes it an intimidating and competitive arena. I’ve complied a list of resources for job seekers who don't want to sacrifice their values of health and sustainability for the sake of food on the table.
