That feeling you get when ArcPro just starts ‘thinking’ and you can’t decide whether you should close it or just wait…

New #GIS drinking game - Every time Q/Arc crashes, you take a shot! It's like Russian roulette for your liver with every click!

if you've wanted to learn ArcGIS but don't have access to a license they're offering a free Cartography class right now that gives you 6 weeks access to ArcGIS Pro. It seems like a pretty beginner friendly class but if nothing else just take advantage of it to get the license and then make your own course!! Personally I think GIS is so fun if this is the kind of thing that interests you and you're looking for a new challenge (link is to the course page it just formatted weird)(also it's not working in firefox for me today just fyi)

მე-9 საერთაშორისო კონფერენცია კარტოგრაფიისა და GIS-ის შესახებ

9th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CARTOGRAPHY & GIS

ცალკე გამოყოფის ღირსია ახალგაზრდა ნიჭიერი მეცნიერ-კარტოგრაფის, დოქტორანტ საბა მოდებაძის (თსუ) მოხსენება, რომელიც სასკოლო კარტოგრაფიას ეძღვნებოდა. კონფერენციას წინ უძღოდა საბა მოდებაძის მიერ თსუ-ში ჩატარებული კონკურსი სასკოლო ასაკის ბავშვებისათვის “ჩემი თვალით დანახული სამყარო“, რომელშიც, სხვადასხვა ასაკობრივი ჯგუფის, 159-მა მოსწავლემ მიიღო მონაწილეობა. ეს იყო მოსწავლეთა მიერ შესრულებული ე.წ. “მენტალური” (აზრისეული) კარტოგრაფიული ნაწარმოებები, თუ როგორ წარმოუდგენიათ მათ სამყარო. საბა მოდებაძემ ამ კონკურსის ორგანიზებას წარმატებით გაართვა თავი და ბულგარეთის საერთაშორისო კონფერენციაზე გააკეთა ამ კონკურსის რჩეული ნამუშევრების დემონსტრირება. მისმა პრეზენტაციამ დიდი მოწონება და აზრთა გაცვლა-გამოცვლა გამოიწვია. საბას კანდიდატურა განიხილება საერთაშორისო კარტოგრაფიული ასოციაციის ერთ-ერთი კომისიის “საბავშვო კარტოგრაფიის” წევრად, რომელსაც, ბულგარელი პროფესორი და ამ კონფერენციის ერთ-ერთი ორგანიზატორი, პროფესორი სილვია მარინოვა ხელმძვანელობს.

A separate mention should be given to the presentation by young, talented cartographer doctoral student Saba Modebadze (TSU), dedicated to school cartography. Prior to the conference, Saba Modebadze organized a competition at TSU for school-age children called "The World Seen Through My Eyes," in which 159 students of various age groups participated. These were "mental" (conceptual) cartographic works showing how they imagine the world. Saba Modebadze successfully organized this competition and presented selected works at the international conference in Bulgaria. His presentation was met with great appreciation and sparked a lively exchange of ideas. Saba's candidacy is being considered for membership in the "Children's Cartography" commission of the International Cartographic Association, chaired by a Bulgarian professor and one of the conference organizers, Professor Silvia Marinova.

Tips from a (former) GIS Undergraduate Student to other GIS students

Reuploaded since reddit mods haven't got back to my message and reddit's spam filter is removing it no matter where i post it...

I have graduated from college (wooo!) and wanted to share advice that helped me out. I hope you find it useful!

Volunteer to boost your resume or if you lack GIS work experience

When I first started my GIS major, I wanted to get work experience alongside my classes. The thing was I began my degree when Covid started, so landing a GIS internship when most organizations were laying off people was not realistic.

I knew I needed something on my resume so I decided volunteering was the best way to go.

I googled ‘GIS volunteer opportunities’, saw a listing through United Nation’s volunteer portal, and got something pretty quickly. It was an online position that I did on my own time for 6 months. It was very fun! I highly recommend any Geography student do some type of GIS volunteer work before you graduate.

As of writing this post, I checked the website and it looks like the UN doesn’t have any positions listed but there is a website dedicated to GIS volunteer positions:

https://www.giscorps.org/become-a-volunteer/

Also, every job interview I had has always asked me about this volunteer role lol.

Speaking of jobs….

Make a GIS Portfolio

Start a portfolio NOW. Add anything you created from your courses to it! A GIS portfolio makes you stand out from the competition when applying to internships/jobs, and may even be required for some job applications.

This is a VERY detailed video about what it should include (Yes it’s an hour long but the information is worth it!! ).

Network

You have heard it a MILLION times but network!! Connect with your local GIS organization and try to attend a conference. If you can’t for whatever reason, search for online GIS organizations and see if you can join their online zoom meetings.

Learn to Code

I have run into Python, R, Javascript, and HTML/CSS during my undergraduate work and various internships/jobs. Be ahead of the curve and learn it on your own. I would HIGHLY recommend Python if you want to start with a language and don’t have a course at your university. Just start with a basic ‘intro to python’ video and then complete python gis tutorials.

Make a separate account for GIS stuff

Just to keep things organized and in one place, I recommend you make a separate email for GIS. For some of my courses I was required to sign up for GIS software/sites and I wanted to have access long after graduation so I made a separate account for it.

Example email: nameGIS@email.com

Take Advantage of (Online) Communities

Being in GIS forums/groupchats/servers/etc has helped me so much! From feedback with assignments to how to market myself when looking for a job, joining groups is beneficial.

I LOVEEE the GIS Discord server and highly recommend you join.

(Link to server https://disboard.org/server/769917190182404127 )

Keep Learning!

This is the most important thing I want you to leave with. GIS is constantly evolving and in order to be on top, you need to be up to date on new technology and software updates etc.

Personally, I would be learning new stuff during semester breaks and take advantage of the free courses Esri MOOC has.

tfw you're a gis analyst working with arcmap and arcsde and you click "save edits" 37 times before the sde reconciles and lets you save.
