From emergency disaster response to long-term economic planning, we create and support technology to make complex GIS tools usable by non-specialist users.

We’re still relatively small (about 50 people), but we’re in a great industry, the future is bright, and we have an awesome team. We’re looking for outstanding people to help us continue to build the kind of place we’d never want to leave. From interesting, challenging work to corresponding recreation/life balance, we want you on board to help us achieve our dual goals of well-managed, sustainable growth and recognition as one of the top places to work in Canada.

The Position:
You will be required to work remotely because Latitude Geographics is a Canadian owned and operated company headquartered in Victoria, B.C.

You'll need to fly around the continent to conferences and other meetings, where you'll meet new people and present our products, services, and ideas.
Our goal is to become our clients' trusted advisors. This position requires that you build a relationship of trust with our existing and potential clients. We're in business to make our clients successful, not sell products and services at any cost.
Your first assignment is to sell us on you.

Qualifications:

• Knowledge of GIS, geomatics, and internet mapping
• Familiarity with ESRI’s ArcGIS suite of products is desirable
• Conceptual knowledge of information technology and/or hands-on programming experience is desirable

Ten Things to Do When Looking for a Job, from Forbes Magazine:

Professional Development information from Cary and Associates:
http://www.caryandassociates.com/marketing_tools/professional_development.html

Helpful Suggestions from Ken Turnbull, founder of Rocky Mtn. Rogues network:
On Reading and Asking Questions:
I often exchange emails or talk to the younger set on advice for getting a job. I try to focus on having candidates TALK LESS of their own skills, talents, and wonderfulness... and LISTEN MORE to answers to their "intelligent and insightful" questions they ASK potential employers. This enables the job seeker to understand the problem(s) to be solved. The task is to package yourself on-the-fly, to be "part of the solution the employer is seeking". (They already have lots of "wonderful people"... and they still have problems.)
Impressing employers can be more easily done by "quality of questions", rather than by "I am wonderful because ..." statements.
(Trust me on this one!)
And don't forget to read, read, read -- every day.
("Avid reader" always looks good on a resume and the investment of time will be well worth it.)
On Business Cards:
I have used VistaPrint in the past; they are free (except for shipping) and they are good.
I recommend you print your "individual" business card, unaffiliated with any company, and carry them with you.
Whereas handing out a resume can be rude and creates the wrong impression, a simple business cards says "I know the process."
A b-card is NOT a piece of promotional sales literature; it is a convenient means to convey your contact information (KISS).
But, you can use it to expand or narrow the responses you receive.
If your title is really "President," no one will talk to you; make it "Principal" or "Partner" or "Owner;" this opens the door.
If you specialize in one function, state what it is: "Technical Writer or Web Developer," etc.; this qualifies people.
If you are a generalist, provide a definition: "Regional Marketing Manager or Branch Manager;" this means you are approachable.
Avoid "Consultant," as it is often synonymous with "unemployed."
If you want to generate conversation, use "Entrepreneur" or "ROGUE;" it invites the question.
But, if you don't have your response path practiced and polished ... don't do this!
