An excellent podcast interview from VerySpatial with Jason Otero of ESRI was just put out this week.  The topic covered the details of getting a job at ESRI and also other geospatial companies.  Jason mentioned that even in the state of this economy, they are still hiring.

The main ESRI locations that are hiring are Redlands, CA; Washington, DC; Charlotte, NC and St. Louis, Mo.  The Redlands office has the greatest opportunity for jobs, but the others are quickly expanding.  In all ESRI has a main office with 10 regional offices.

Hot Jobs at ESRI include:

  • Software Products
  • Professional Services
  • Technical Support

ESRI has put together an excellent careers website where you can create a profile.  Under this profile you can fill out an application, submit a cover letter and resume, and apply for jobs.  There is also a dedicated site for college graduates to learn more about moving from “a college campus to an ESRI campus”.  You can find more information on the ESRI Grad web page.

Maybe you are not looking for a job at ESRI, or maybe you are not near one of their locations; Jason suggested looking up an ESRI Business Partner where many opportunities reside.  You can find a business partner here.

    Thanks for the tips – it’s good to see they are still hiring in a down economy. GIS is a stable and growing industry so it’s really not a surprise.
