The McDonalds ad takes you here: http://www.mcdonalds.com/usa/work/search.html

Great, I can use my degree to make fries.


Apparently though, to Monster, entry level jobs means internships and jobs that don't require a degree. Apparently, a college graduate is not qualified for entry level. I put in "GIS" and got results for nanny jobs and ads for companies "coming to my campus". Anyone know where to search for entry level jobs?

I think they are trying to tell you to lower your standards.

What kind of degree?

Better not be English Lit or Philosophy. Those don't even get you a job making fries. You have to start with a mop and a bucket and work your way up to fries.

companies that hire entry level straight out of college are probably the ones who go to campus and recruit

This might actually be worse then philosophy / english to be honest. Tough market to dip your foot in, especially if you didn't get an internship while in school for experience.

I did a GIS internship at Yellowstone from June-November. It's not helping so far.

There are 1000 GIS jobs listed on Monster, but most of them require CAD and programming experience.

Me too ... though from an IT perspective, and I don't have a ton of background in GIS, just interest 🙂 http://www.gisjobs.org/

Never seen that site. I thought I'd been to all the GIS job websites.

I sent my resume to these people but no reply. They are posting their ad on every GIS job website so they probably have quite a few prospects. http://www.gisjobs.org/jobdetails.php?jobID=517

A couple of GIS programmer/members here, fisheerman & hammerhead pointed me in that direction I believe. Of course, if you'd like to move up north too, there is http://www.gisjobs.ca 😛

Hey, I was the first one who mentioned GIS in your thread about small town computer jobs!

You're right! Sorry I forgot about that. Once fisheerman started talking about the development side of GIS I went off on that tangent willingly 😛

Since then I have talked to some people, and think I've gotten hooked up with a company in a nearby city that wants to interview me for a work-from-home type position that will require some field work, which I am really interested in.

Thanks for getting me looking at the GIS direction again :beer:

GIS was/is a hot field (esp like 5 years ago)...however; do you have a IS background? what experience?

By now I am sure it's full of eager candidates shopping for a paycheck.

You mean information science other than GIS? I do have some experience with Access.

Information Services on a server-based platform.

Access is WAAAAYYYY below those plotting the world.
