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.
