Defining Success in the Geospatial Industry

Defining Success in the Geospatial Industry, a column in latest issue of magazine-ArcUser winter 2011, released the Geospatial Competency model. This model is designed using a variety of skills required to develop a successful career in the geospatial technology field.

I mention this because currently I am working on my interpersonal and communication skills. Yes, preparing myself for Job interviews. It is said that soft skills are harder to acquire then technical skills. But I believe that soft skills are an inherent part of one’s personality and nobody is perfect but if you make a determined effort you can overcome any deficiency.

I am learning to find my limitations in area of soft skills. I have started spending my time watching live interviews, reading more books, and preparing for FAQ in job interviews. I am trying my best to crack the interview (whenever I get one! J).
