The Vermont Video Resume Project

Started last week on Twitter by Joe Mescher of Burlington, it looks like the Vermont Video Resume Project is off to a good start!

What is the Vermont Video Resume Project?

Many Vermonters who without jobs are finding it difficult to obtain new employment right now. The Vermont Video Resume Project is developing a way that lets social media help unemployed Vermonters by "providing a Web Video Resume to every unemployed Vermonter who wants one."

What better way to stand-out among the many applicants than with a Web Video Resume? The goal of the Project is to help unemployed Vermonters use Social Media Technology in their search for a new job.

"Whether you are a video expert with advice to share, an unemployed individual who signs up for a video resume, or just a concerned citizen helping to spread the word, you play a critical part in the success of this project."

Please support this cause to help fellow Vermonters! Submit the form at VideoResumeVT.com to inquire about a video resume, volunteer to help the project, or to share tips and advice.

Green Up Vermont 209

What is "Green Up Vermont"?

"Vermont's Green Up Day began in 1970 when 70,000 Vermonters joined forces around the state to clean up roadside litter that had accumulated during the winter months. In our 39th year, the Green Up legacy continues to foster the stewardship of the Vermont landscape. It's about far more than picking up highway litter and cleaning up public parks. Green Up Day is about people of all ages from all walks of life joining together in community spirit to take care of Vermont. It teaches our children pride and respect.

Today, the Green Up tradition continues to grow thanks to the not-for-profit organization Green Up Vermont. Over 40,000 bags of trash are collected annually with the help of over 250 volunteer coordinators and co-coordinators and over 15,000 participants."

FAQ: How many people participate in Green Up Day?
Over 15,000 people volunteer annually in picking up litter on Green Up Day. Over 40,000 bags of trash are collected annually.

If you participated in "Green Up Vermont" this year (or any year) and have pictures or video - send them to us and we will add them to our sites!
