U.S. to Inject $5 Billion into Green Jobs  30% tax credits to investors in factories working with targeted technologies.  The government on Dec. 17 said it plans to pour five billion dollars into fostering jobs growth in green technologies and clean energy.

Vice President Joe Biden announced White House support for the program, which requires congressional approval and is part of the $787 billion economic recovery plan President Barack Obama launched in February.

The plans would offer 30% tax credits to investors in factories working with targeted technologies in the wind energy and solar energy sectors, as well as batteries, according to the White House.

“We have to jump-start growth in green manufacturing — and part of that is encouraging companies to build the components of green technology right here on American soil,” Biden said.

“By combining the most talented workforce, the most entrepreneurial businesses, the best universities in the world with seed capital from government investment, we can once again produce cutting-edge technology that creates 21st century jobs here in America,” the vice president added.

Opel to cut 10,000 Jobs

The co-head of Canadian auto parts maker Magna said on Sept. 14 that it planned to cut 10,500 posts at loss-making German car maker Opel once it completes its takeover of the General Motors’ unit.

Co-chief executive Siegfried Wolf said his group, which agreed last week to buy a majority stake in Opel from General Motors, was sticking with plans to cut jobs at Opel and its sister brand Vauxhall in Britain.

He confirmed figures reported over the weekend in the German media but said Magna had not modified its terms since late May, when it first signed a memorandum of understanding with GM on the deal. “Our plans haven’t changed since May 31,” Wolf said at a briefing in Frankfurt ahead of the international auto show.

Previously, the figure reported was 10,000 job cuts. The Opel business, including Vauxhall, employs some 50,000 workers across Europe.

Wolf did not say where the job cuts would be made, a sensitive topic as Germany gears up for national polls on September 27.

German Economy Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg told the newspaper Bild am Sonntag that he believed the cuts were deeper than those estimated earlier by Magna.

Wolf stressed that Opel could be made profitable again by 2015 and dismissed allegations that Magna would invest 600 million euros (US$870 million) of German taxpayers’ money in Russia.

Germany has extended a bridging loan worth 1.5 billion euros to keep Opel going until the takeover is completed, along with loan guarantees worth another three billion euros to get the new company started. Other European Union countries with Opel plants, such as Britain, Poland and Spain, are worried that Germany’s generous aid may mean German jobs take preference and that it could breach European Union rules on state aid. Germany is seeking support from the other countries meanwhile to eventually reduce its own contribution.

THE RIGHT PACKAGING

When presenting yourself for potential employment, you need to be able to package yourself well as the right person to consider for that particular job. The first crack you get at a job is usually through a resume. Resume help materials could not stress enough the fact that the resume is not exactly the instrument that could land you your perfect job but would only have to succeed in getting you the job interview. An effectively written resume, either by yourself or with a resume help resource, should be able to interest the human resource officer in calling you in for an interview. It is important for you to package yourself well in your resume so that you are able to come across as someone who is worthy of seeing and hearing from.

Before you start writing your resume, take a look at the job description of the job you are applying for. If you are responding to a job classifieds advertisement, review the qualifications that are detailed in the ad taking note of how they are worded. Match this description to your skills and achievements. Craft your resume content in a manner that is aligned with the qualifications your prospective employer is looking for. As you will find out from a number of resume help materials, you need to highlight your skills and achievements in a concise and impactful manner. You do not need to include all the details of your previous employments. Choose only those that are significant and relevant. Writing your resume in a manner that your prospective employer will find logical and interesting will give you more chances of being called in for that job interview.
