I thought I’d try this out today, encouraged by the warm weather, a slight hangover and no real Sunday plans. Pros Lots of nice looking vegan food to try A couple of decent looking craft beer pubs Lots of vintage shops nearby if you’re worried about consumption of new materials Bulk Market (more on that later) Cons I should have brought my own containers and bottle (I got a drink in a coconut but still feel guilty about the air miles) Biodegradable waste is still waste and still takes materials and energy to produce and move around Lots of latex gloves were in use: a win for hygiene if not ..read more

Worst interviews ever

After my very worst interview ever, I felt so embarrassed, I wrote to apologise afterwards. I was completely unprepared, studying for a degree part time, drinking a lot with my new uni buddies and just on the right side of 30 – such that I could stay up all night, work, drink and get through what I needed to do. Or so I thought. End of term was coming so I had been up all night doing a piece of coursework, fuelled by a lot of instant coffee and cigarettes and I filed the work. Just. Then I showered, got ready and went for the interview. I desperately tried to gen up on the company in a cab on ..read more

News today that brought joy to my sad little heart: the East West Market in Vancouver is using shame to prompt people to bring their own bags instead of using dirty polluting plastic bags. Hoping that bags saying things like “Wart Ointment Wholesale” or “Into the Weird Adult Video Emporium” will encourage people to bring their own bags. So we thought we’d have some fun. What would you put on your bags of shame to stop people taking single use plastic bags? Use the hashtag #bagsofshame and tag @climate_jobs on insta ..read more

“The longer carbon emissions continue to rise, the harder and more costly will be the necessary eventual adjustment to net-zero carbon emissions.” Bob Dudley, CEO, BP Despite a 14.5% growth in the renewables industry, the equivalent of an additional 400 million combustion engine cars was emitted last year. The Guardian reports the news that carbon emissions from the energy industry rose in 2018. In an ironic twist – if you like your irony sandwiched between bad news – emissions have risen as society struggles to deal with unusual and unexpected temperature fluctuations brought about by clima ..read more

You want to get a job in an ethical industry, and you want to help mitigate climate change. Easy, right? But how can you be sure that the company you’re interviewing at is a good fit for you?

So, we created this scoresheet which you can use to see whether an organisation is a good fit. We’ve broken policies down into groups – obviously, not everything will be relevant but it’s worth asking these questions. We hav ..read more

What do we mean by panic-working? You may well have seen this chart before. It’s called the The Eisenhower Decision Matrix and it’s designed to stop people working in panic-mode and to start working strategically on tasks which are beneficial to your future. It’s also often called the Urgent-Important Matrix. It goes like this: 1 URGENT AND IMPORTANT 2 IMPORTANT BUT NOT URGENT 3 NOT IMPORTANT AND URGENT 4 NEITHER IMPORTANT NOR URGENT Quadrant 1 is what I call the “tail wags the dog” quadrant. You end up being dictated to by circumstance and other people. You’re chasing your tail, tryin ..read more

Motivation, tech updates and market stats To understand how creatives turn ideas into products, we love Behance.

 “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Isaac Newton Do you need a mentor? Short answer: yes. Longer answer: yes you do.
