This review is from: GIS Means Business Volume 2 (Paperback)
I found this website for anyone that is interested in looking for a GIS job. It's called GISCrossing. It's a great place to look for a job because it has jobs only from employer websites and far more jobs than you will find on other job boards. This makes it a lot more reliable place to find a job. Here's a link to their website : http://www.Giscrossing.com
