Old Poll, New Poll

Back in November (yes it's been a while!) we asked how important is it that a job candidate be familiar with more than one GIS product/platform. I'm please to report 82% of the 28 respondents put it in the required/valuable category. (Note that students! And, to be clear, this need not mean you pay someone to teach you a package. There are some great tutorials and free and open source software to explore!)

58% - Valuable; it's nice to have.

25% - Required; I won't hire the person.

18% - Not important; I don't even ask about it.

Next up: Which is your biggest challenge in doing your geo-related job? Vote in the lower right hand corner of the main page.
