New Geospatial Jobs Tool Launched 1 comment
[+]
Ogle Earth just launched his own tool for finding neogeography jobs out there, here's the job listing. See the related stories below and you'll find Ogle Earth is not the first to offer such a tool. From the launch post: "It works like this. If you have a neogeo job that needs doing, you can post it for two weeks at a dollar a day. I've set the price far lower than on any other job board, as I'm more interested in seeing if this takes off. (On the other hand, paying something deters spam posts.)"

[...] Tomorrow’s geo-professional should travel often and or be placed into environments that further global understanding and global knowledge." From part 2: "The impact of fast internet has a lot to do with how you plan your geospatial career, particularly if you are considering web technologies and job classifications oriented around server based geo-data."
