Testimonials from past Career Seminars:

• "A large number of COGS students across our geospatial programs attended the GoGeomatics “Geospatial Job Hunting Seminar” in late January: they got so much out of this. Jon’s geospatial-specific insight, background, and suggestions were thoroughly appreciated; questions were thoughtfully answered. Many students implemented ideas and suggestions from this job-hunt seminar into their resumes and/or LinkedIn pages. This is definitely a worthwhile session; I highly recommend it."
