I’ve recently graduated with a degree in Geography and specialized in cartography, and I’m eager to dive into the map design field. I’m particularly interested in roles that combine creativity with technical skills, like GIS analysis or digital cartography projects. I’d love to hear about any openings or advice on how to break into the industry.
Jumping into the map design world is like trying to navigate a new city without a map — exciting but a bit daunting! When I started, I reached out to local GIS groups, which helped me land a few internships. Have you checked out any meetups or online forums?
It can really help to start building a portfolio with personal projects or volunteering for local organizations. I found internships on sites like LinkedIn that let you work on GIS analysis while contributing to real-world projects. Don’t be shy about reaching out to local GIS groups — they often have leads on unadvertised positions.
Have you checked out the AAG job board? It’s great for opportunities in geography and cartography. Good luck.
