Technicians and analysts are likely the positions in highest demand, however, there is also a large range in salaries and expectations. Some positions are advertised with a salary as meagre as $12 per hour and may require a B.Sc, 5+ years of experience and much more, others may simply demad a proven track record and will offer a salary in the $60k range.

Some keys to getting the big bucks. Be heavy on programming skills, have 10+ years of practical and relevant experience, be willing to relocate, have managerial skills, be a leader, be fluent in the latest technologies (AJAX, Oracle, SQL, yadayada). Titles with the terms, intern, technician, entry level, etc... may often require 5+ years of experience and a min. BA degree but typically only offer a pay rate of $12 hour or max $30k. Looking for a nice payday? Keep an eye open for buzzwords like director, coordinator, manager in the title... but beware as you should have a masters degree, loads of project management experience, and 10+ years of related experience. To help justify your experience see about getting certified as a GISP or other "professional". A question to you... have you ever had your resume and skill set queried and verified? As an employer you should always try to verify some of the information provided by applicants prior to hiring them - easily done with a couple of phone calls. ]]> http://my.opera.com/gisuser/blog/show.dml/377805 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AnythingGeospatial/~3/FD6vsvaVEgc/376810 http://my.opera.com/gisuser/blog/show.dml/376810#comments address-withheld@my.opera.com.invalid (Glenn Letham) urn:myopera-gisuser-blog-376810 Sat, 29 Jul 2006 02:40:55 GMT "google maps" alertdude mashup gis gisuser "Matthe http://www.alertdude.com/groups/ and look for the GISuser Group.
