Finding the right role can take time, but the perfect fit is out there. Keep your resume polished and ready, and don’t hesitate to apply when something catches your eye. Best of luck with your job search!

I’ve had the best results applying same day and pasting a plain‑text URL to a 60‑sec demo map in my cover letter — got two remote offers that way; some ATS kill hyperlinks. @InsightGlobal, for that Land Agent spot, highlight parcel/easement edits and ROW experience right up top.

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

Since these are “real-time” and expire fast, I attach a 1-page PDF portfolio (under 2MB) with a QR code to my ArcGIS Online items — , some portals strip links — and snagged a remote GIS dev gig last month. Small caveat: some “remote” listings still want core hours in a specific timezone, so ask up front. Anyone else seeing portals nuke URLs lately?

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

Applying within 12 hours of posting boosted my callbacks, and I lead my cover letter with “UTC‑6, US work auth, ArcGIS Pro/Python” so remote recruiters see fit fast. @james_carter79 good call on link issues; if the portal is fussy, I paste a plain‑text note with the exact EPSG and data sources from a recent project instead of a hyperlink. Small caveat: some “real-time” listings recycle old reqs, so I check the company careers page before spending time.

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

Building on @kevin14: after I apply, I message the recruiter with a tiny GitHub repo and a Colab notebook that reproduces a spatial join and pushes a web map — “no tokens, runs in Colab” — so they can click and see; just strip any non‑public data (link: https://colab.research.google.com). Nobody wants to wrestle API keys before coffee.

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

Quick example: I embedded a 20‑second GIF of an ArcGIS Dashboard at the top of my resume PDF (kept it under 1.5 MB) and got faster callbacks on “verified remote” GIS roles. I also name the file “HarrisonBlake_GIS_ArcGISPro_Python_MT.pdf” so ATS queries surface it — @mjones76 this nudged a couple quick screens. Small caveat: if the post hides state restrictions for remote, ask about eligible states before a screen to save a day.

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

Short example: I put a tiny “availability window” at the top of my resume — “overlap 10am–2pm ET; start in 2 weeks” — and got faster screenings for distributed teams. I also link one live map (Leaflet on GitHub Pages: https://pages.github.com/); just keep it lightweight so ATS parsing doesn’t choke.

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

Because posts are “real-time,” I apply within hours and include a 45‑second Loom; some recruiters won’t click video.
