I recently got my GIS certificate from SFSU and have been applying for jobs for about 3 months and haven't gotten even one interview. I spent 7 years in publishing and have lots of project management experience just no practical GIS experience.
I'm not too familiar with the GIS job world, I am having no trouble finding gourds of jobs but I can't get a bite. I send out a resume, thoughful cover letter, and link to some map samples. Am I missing something? Any words or wisdom for this newby?
Thanks in advance!!!!

Learn Python and Java and also learn as much as you can about ArcSDE (SQL or Oracle RBDMS) and ArcGIS Server.
GIS is going trending more and more to Web with advent of Google Earth. -
