Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin - April 2013 Issue 48


Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin

April 2013 Issue 48

Everyone reads the news, so you don’t need my thoughts on those bits, but what a crazy couple of weeks we’ve had. At the time of writing the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings has just been captured and without going into the actual crimes, the resulting media attention has relied heavily on social media. Where once the public were the audience now, for good or bad, the general populace are taking it upon themselves to assist in the operations.

Live updates on news sites reference the Boston Mayor and the Boston Police Department’s Twitter feeds; indeed the announcement that the second suspect had been detained first came out across Twitter. Youtube accounts, VK (A European social site), reddit, Facebook and other social sites have all been utilised in this world event. The power of social media definitely cannot be ignored.

As always Spatial Jobs Online is the best spot to find new opportunities as soon as they’re posted. Some great opportunities from the Bureau of Meteorology and Integrity Executive this time.

We hope you all enjoy this edition of the bulletin.

Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin Issue 47


Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin

April 2013 Issue 47

Happy Friday! A wet and wild couple of weeks here in Newcastle, but at least the weather over Easter was good. A welcome change from so many miserable Easter weekends we’ve had in the past. How was your Easter? Full of chocolate and hot cross buns? Of course! What would Easter be without those new traditions??!

Some great jobs have recently been added, including some from GIS Recruitment, Peoplebank and two opportunities with the City of Belmont. We couldn’t fit all the new jobs in so head on over to the search page for the latest postings.

This fortnight we’re profiling Mark Roberts, who is currently working towards becoming certified to grow his career in the spatial industry.

We hope you all enjoy this edition of the bulletin.

Candidate Profile - Mark Roberts


I am currently a full time student undertaking the Certificate 3 in Surveying and Spatial Information Services as part of the Diploma course. I completed the Certificate 2 in this field last year which confirmed to me that this is the direction of career change that really matches my abilities and expectations. I am really excited about becoming certified, and moving into what I hope will be the rest of my working career in the spatial industry.

As a 36 year old, I have an extensive range of work experience.
Going back to the early nineties I was a fitness instructor, since then I have been a labourer in areas such as landscaping and factory’s, I have manufactured carpet, worked as a sales rep and also in retail.
Most recently (the last ten years), have been spent working as an Airline Services Operator at the Adelaide Airport. It was in this most recent role I realised that I wanted a change in career.

About five years ago I attended a career/skills expo on a day off from work and got talking to a guy who was representing the surveying side of the spatial industry. I was instantly drawn in to what he had to say and I went home with all the paperwork and intentions of becoming a newly trained surveyor.
In reality, at that time I just wasn’t ready to leave a well paying job that I was a little bit too comfortable with.
The desire to move into surveying didn’t leave me and I finally made the decision to commit to full time study, realising that this was the career I definitely wanted to be in.
  
As I am in the early stages of my studies, I am aware that as I learn more and become more involved, my ideas of exactly what industry sector and work area I move into will evolve.
At this stage I am just looking forward to getting some experience working in the industry, building my knowledge, and learning from the more experienced.

I have recently met the guys in ‘The young professionals’ team from SSSI and it was really encouraging to hear how much backing and support we have as students and future workers. This reinforces to me what a great industry this is and that there is a solid future in becoming a surveyor. I am looking forward to becoming more involved with this team at the various events.

I am confident that even at this early stage in my learning, I would be an asset to any company looking for a suitable person to fill a role at an entry/assistant level.
