GIS is in very hot demand by several industries and individual in the academic. Decisions are now being made based on more precise information that can be supplied by a GIS. Unfortunately, only few individuals truly understand and can use this technology and as such they can either get jobs in various NGOs, Government agencies/ministries, Research companies, Oil and Telecoms. However, some choose to freelance, supplying their much coveted services for a fee. I am not saying we should not hope for white collar jobs, all I'm saying is that we should also consider learning a skill. If you have any questions on GIS or how you can start freelancing, feel free to post your questions or join this thread www.nairaland.com/1498170/what-geographic-information-systems-gis

hw can someone start freelancing pls

hw can someone start freelancing pls

I will assume that you are a GIS person, the first step into freelancing is to discern your target market. Prepare a business card (shouldn't cost you more than 3k) you can use your home as your office address. Be modest with your pricing but ensure it doesn't hurt you or undermine the value of your work. You can create a network of GIS analysts to keep up with current market trends. Ensure you deliver on time and never reject a job no matter how small.

In that case you need to get quality training in GIS. The rules of the forum forbids any form of adverts in the section so please if you want any info on training and solutions send a mail to greenlandconsult89@gmail.com or tomimgis@gmail.com

OP, I tink u shud have shed more light on GIS and what it means. It is very interesting, from the little I know. Am sure you ll find a lot more people will be interested if you give a little break down.

Thank you good sir, I decided to limit this thread to explaining how we can empower our youths with GIS and this is why I posted a link above to another thread where I give details about the technology. However with regard to your brilliant suggestion, I will shed more light on GIS.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a system which collects and analysis spatially referenced data, to provide intelligent facts that aids decision making. Cannistra (2003) submitted that more than 95% of elements that affects human activities can be referenced to a particular location, this includes that you and I can only occupy a particular space on the earth surface at a given time and while we occupy the space, no one else can.
Think of it as an address that describes your house, only that GIS employs a more precise method- the use of co-ordinate systems. Co-ordinate systems are a combination of the lines of longitude and latitude that point directly to a particular feature on the earth surface. One major advantage that a GIS has over other mapping systems is the fact that it has a robust database capability.
Every feature has an attribute, think of it as the descriptive features that you possess. One can't just describe you as a boy or a girl, it has to be more a tall dark girl or a plump fair girl. When a decision maker queries the system for a specification that suits your description, you and others that match prop up. That is a simple GIS!
The system that powers your car tracking devices is a GIS, GIS is currently used to analyze flood patterns and avoidance, the military has now seen the benefits of GIS and are presently implementing it to combat insecurity in the north, the recent lagos state emergency response network is also based on a robust GIS.
This thread is for how you can make money with GIS, refer to my previous post for a thread that discusses more on what GIS can do for you. Thanks

If you are a graduate of Geography, or any of the Environmental sciences, let's discuss GIS

Gud job! I think i am booking a front seat in this drive..

Ok, you might wanna check out my other thread. I left a link to it above.

A very easy way to be either self-employed or even make extra cash either as a student or a worker is to master technical skills. These skills make you self reliant and releases you from that pool of the unemployed which you detest so much. I see as most graduates flock to job advertisement threads not minding if its real or not. Some even accept wages that remind you of the Roman empire slavery era. It is good to hope to work in blue chip coys, but we can't all achieve that dream! Think of what you can do for you self and your country, not just what your country can do for you.
