Google Maps Mania have an article about tools to find a job that uses Google Maps. From the small article: "Jobster joins career websites like Monster.com and SimplyHired.com who are all moving toward this new trend of "Google Mapping" where available jobs are located. Google Maps Mania keeps a list of employment-related websites with Google Maps functionality here."

Richard Serby writes "GeoSearch, Inc. is the oldest and most trusted source of personnel recruitment in the geospatial sciences. It is the place for employers seeking new talent and for prospective candidates interested in new employment opportunities. Visit us today! http://www.geosearch.com/"

Ogle Earth just launched his own tool for finding neogeography jobs out there, here's the job listing. See the related stories below and you'll find Ogle Earth is not the first to offer such a tool. From the launch post: "It works like this. If you have a neogeo job that needs doing, you can post it for two weeks at a dollar a day. I've set the price far lower than on any other job board, as I'm more interested in seeing if this takes off. (On the other hand, paying something deters spam posts.)"

bestgisjobs writes "BestGISjobs advertises hundreds of GIS jobs within the UK. Visit http://www.bestgisjobs.co.uk/ and find your dream GIS Position today." Obviously, this is of interest for those in the U.K. or ready to move there. I copied below several previous entries on other geospatial job related tools which is useful outside the U.K.

There has been a lot of activity on the geoblogs in the last few days regarding the distinction between neogeography and GIS. It started with an All Points Blog entry: "Hickey explained that while neogeography is focused on "Where" there is no data creation and no spatial analysis, an essentially visually useful concept that has helped "cross the chasm from early adopters to an early majority." My take is decidedly biased and I come down on Hickey's side entirely." Amongst the reactions, you'll find entries from The Memory Leak, Fantom Planet, GeoTips's Paul Ramsey, GeoMusings, Spatially Adjusted and PerryGeo. From GeoTips: "Try to remember folks, it's not how big your tool is, it's what you do with it that counts." An interesting passion-laden debate...

Vector One has a two-part entry named Geo-jobs: technology and practice evolving. From part 1: "The take home point to understand with the new systems is not simply about understanding a new phenomenon in delivery and participation, although that is part of it. The real take home point is that the extension of technologies and delivery mechanisms has put ’spatial awareness’ into the limelight - people are thinking about their world, our world, your world, his and her world - in whole new ways. [...] Tomorrow’s geo-professional should travel often and or be placed into environments that further global understanding and global knowledge." From part 2: "The impact of fast internet has a lot to do with how you plan your geospatial career, particularly if you are considering web technologies and job classifications oriented around server based geo-data." Part 2 details the 'trends' in geospatial jobs, worthed read. Several related previous stories below.
