Tomorrow in Employment Seminar we'll be discussing both the State of Ohio jobs website and USA Jobs .
Both sites allow you to create accounts that you can post typical application information, resumes, etc. so that when the perfect job appears, all you have to do is tweak things for the position and apply. The USA Jobs site also has a feature where you can publicly post your resume for recruiters to scan when they have positions to fill.
As I was strolling through the USA Jobs site, using GIS as a keyword, I came across several temp "cartography" positions with the National Park Service in Colorado. How cool would that be?! I also saw that the Ohio ODNR GIMS division is looking for interns- and it includes traveling around field verifying. Another fun way to spend the Summer.
As some of you know (and you'll be sorry, I'm letting a few more people know- although readership of the blog might be around one at this point!) these sites are incredibly easy to navigate and a routine of once a week might set you up for a new position in government. Good Luck.

Las Vegas Over 25 years
NASAs Image(s) of the Day show Las Vegas over the past 25 years- a facinating look at unbridled growth in the desert. Ironically, Las Vegas is spanish for The Meadows.
The 25 year time period matches the lifetime of the Landsat5 satellite, originally built to last 5 years (begs the question: Is life on the surface of the earth so debilitating that we can't get 5 times the planned life out of something like a car?).
Guess what happens when gambling slows down due to the economy and the water dries up? Stay tuned for the next 5 years of Las Vegas images.
