Here’s good news for local job hunters. Town Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence held a press conference recently at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Suffern to unveil a bit of high-tech job search wizardry. The town has a new job search website called Ramapo Tweet My Jobs that allows residents to push/pull job information directly from potential employers.

The town signed an 18-month, $50,000 contract a California company to run the digital jobs board, which hosts similar site for Atlanta and Newark. Ramapo will be the first small locale to use the technology, which allows Town of Ramapo residents to sign up for town-specific job searches seeking work through email, smartphone and other social media applications. Employers post jobs for free.

To use the Town of Ramapo Jobs Connector, go to the site, sign in by creating an account and begin searching. There are some 384 Twitter channels to parse through such as Veteran jobs in Ramapo, Internship jobs in Ramapo and Security jobs in Ramapo.

On another front, the Town of Ramapo will hosts Living Green in Rockland, which celebrates the 2012 Environmental Day, Sunday, May 6th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority.

The event is an opportunity to check out the compost bins and barrels that will be on sale. There will also be  an organic plant sale, tours of the native plants garden. Family activities include face painting for kids, radio controlled airplane demonstrations, balloon artists, food, music, and more. It’s a chance to get out in the sun for some fun. Further information, call 845-753-2200.
