How one company views diversity
We are the firm we are today because of the unique perspectives and contributions of all our associates. We believe that an inclusive group of associates is the best way to serve the varied and individual needs of our clients.
At Edward Jones, we refer to our diversity initiatives as inclusion. This represents more than a simple wording change. “Diversity” is a way for us to recognize and celebrate our differences. “Inclusion” provides direction on how these unique points of view can be understood and used for the good of the firm and our associates.

Women as financial advisors
Now is an exciting time at Edward Jones as more and more women join our ranks as Financial Advisors. The individual reasons vary, but when asked, most point to the independence, ability to make a difference in people’s lives, unlimited earning potential and our “people first” philosophy.
A unique financial services firm, our business starts with a personal, face-to-face meeting between a Financial Advisor and an individual investor. Today, we operate a network of more than 10,000 branch offices in two countries and we have progressive plans for continued growth. So there’s never been a better time to join.

New job search engine to index green jobs across the web.
Green jobs are growing substantially according to several recent studies. Now a new job search engine called Green Job Spider, aims to aggregate those jobs as the ‘Google for green jobs’.With more than 50 green job boards currently scattered across the web, job seekers are having a hard time finding and applying to this fast growing job market. Green Job Spider will enable them to search for these jobs under one interface. The site will also help green candidates learn about the types of green jobs and where they are through its blog and podcast.
The job search engine will be one of the first of its kind to focus exclusively on a specific niche. To date, most of these job search sites focus on all types of jobs nationwide but Green Job Spider will offer a more targeted experience for those who want a green job. Its crawler will index for jobs from solar to wind to biofuels. Job listings will be indexed nightly and all sources of green jobs will be hand selected to ensure quality.
“The time is right for a service of this kind” says Chris Russell, the site’s founder. “Green jobs are growing and the current method of finding them is too fragmented”. Russell is a ten year veteran of the online job search space. His company, AllCountyJobs.com LLC, is a well established player in the niche job board business.
Green Job Spider will also target green employers and recruiting firms who have jobs online. Listings can be indexed through an XML feed or spidered via web page. Pricing will consist of a flat monthly subscription fee with unlimited clicks. At launch it currently indexes about a dozen green job sources. Efforts are underway to index the remaining green job boards.
The site is powered by job board software provider, JobMount. Currently in BETA the site is located at http://www.greenjobspider.com/
Green Job Spider is a division of AllCountyJobs.com LLC.
