Spatial Jobs News Bulletin: Edition 52

Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin

December 2013 Issue 52

Welcome to December, Christmas is almost upon us and the weather is warming up… well, sort of. Here in Newcastle it’s been hot, then cold, then raining. Then it rained. And then it rained some more.

Managers have been spoiled for choice recently, with a great deal of high-level jobs being posted on the site. We now move into the quieter part of the year before January where we get crazy busy again with new postings.

This month we’re profiling Gwen Williams, a Canadian GIS professional looking to build on her Australian experience.

Don’t forget, if you have an interesting article you think would be good to see in the newsletter, please feel free to drop it over to us at info@spatialjobs.com.au

We’ve got the spotlight on TAFE NSW Riverina Institute, specialists in distance education and GIS courses. Here’s what they have to say about their courses:

Our comprehensive courses, specialising in spatial information services using Geographical Information Systems (GIS), are tailored to anyone who is interested in the spatial information sector. Our delivery modes specialise in distance-education and on-line, but we offer blended options to ensure our students/clients needs are met.

We hope you all enjoy this edition of the bulletin.

Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin

June 2013 Issue 51

Hi party-people, I hope everyone is great out there. The cold weather looks like it’s here to stay, and, as at time of typing, it’s raining outside here in Newcastle. Good weather to stay inside with a cup of tea and listen to Triple J’s Hottest 100 of the last 20 years on YouTube (click here for the link).

Now for a teaser, for all you employers out there we’ve got something exciting coming out in the very near future...

Some great jobs online at this time, with GIS Analyst roles and a great role with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy.
