That’s it for this week. Keep an eye on these openings and get those applications in if something catches your eye. Good luck out there!

I landed a housing-included GIS internship by applying within 24 hours and leading with a simple web map plus one “niche skill” (FME for data cleanup), and heard back the same day. If you’re relocating, ask if the housing covers weekend gaps and what the deposit looks like so the numbers don’t surprise you. If you can’t move, check state GIS procurement portals for short remote contracts while you keep an eye here — it’s like catching a bus, timing is everything.

@ryan_jones84 same here — what got me callbacks was a 60‑sec screen recording walking through a quick web map and a tiny pandas snippet cleaning their sample CSV, plus ‘relocation w/ housing OK’ in the first line. If FME isn’t your tool, QGIS expressions or ArcGIS ModelBuilder sell the same niche just fine — anyone else try short videos?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠‌​‌​⁠‌‌​​⁠‌‍⁠⁠‌​⁠⁠‌‌​‌​⁠‌‌‌‍‍‍​⁠‌‌‌​‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌​⁠‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍⁠‌‍‍‍​‍⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

@Guide +1 — applied in 12 hours, attached a tiny QGIS model; added ‘willing to relocate’ and got a same‑day screen.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠‌​‍⁠‌⁠‌‌‌‍​‌‌⁠​​‌​‌⁠‌‍‍‌​⁠‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‌​⁠‌​‍​‌​​⁠‌⁠​‌‌‍​‌‌​‌​‌​‌⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

@Guide I got traction by sending a 75‑sec Loom of a PostGIS cleanup (ST_MakeValid + ST_Buffer(0) on their sample) and pasting the SQL inline. I also led with ‘open to relocate + housing okay’ in the first line; caveat: some portals strip links, so mirror the SQL in a GitHub gist — anyone getting better response with plain text?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‌‌⁠‍‌‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌⁠‍‌‌‍​‍​⁠‌‍‌​​‌​⁠​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍‌⁠‌⁠‌‌‌‌​​‌‍‌‍‌⁠‍‌‌‌​‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

And i’ve gotten callbacks by attaching a one-page, role-specific portfolio PDF (before/after map and a 3-line methods blurb) and referencing it in the opening of the note; got two callbacks last week. For the housing internship, include your exact “move-in ready” date and weekend availability. I agree on “apply promptly,” small caveat: some portals drop attachments, so paste one quantified result into the note; kind of like speed-dating for skills.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌​⁠‍‌‍‍‍‌‌⁠⁠‌⁠‌‌​⁠​‍‌​‌‌​⁠​‌‌‌‌‌​⁠​‌‌⁠‌‍​‍⁠‌​⁠‍‌‌⁠‌‌​⁠​‍‌‌​⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Kept missing these “real-time” postings (), so I set hourly alerts and started attaching a tiny ArcGIS Pro Task that runs geometry and topology fixes; that got me two quick screens last week. If you’re not in Pro, linking a short GeoPandas cleanup that shows validity checks works too: The Shapely User Manual — Shapely 2.1.2 documentation, and I also state a specific relocate date up front. One caveat: some portals block attachments, so host the task/script and just drop the link.
