How To Find Job In Dammam?

How do I find a part time GIS job?

• How do I find a part-time GIS job with a nonprofit or NGO in Washington DC? I recently took a job with the federal government here in DC. One of the big differences between this job and any other I have worked is that we are only allowed to work for 8 hours a day. No exceptions. No overtime. I am use to working 10 to 12 hours a day. I have spoken with several of my coworkers and many of them have second jobs; most often in retail. I have toyed with the idea of taking a second job, however I would prefer to work for a NGO or Nonprofit. I am a GIS professional and know that my skill set is in high demand. I am looking to work no more then 10 to 15 hours a week. I have searched Craigslist, local papers, monster and the normal GIS job boards. So far nothing. I have search askMetafilter and found several unique NGO/Nonprofit job boards but they all seem to be looking for full time employment. Is there a place anyone knows of that list only part time jobs? Or does anyone have other suggestions for finding a second job in the GIS field?

• Answer:

  You say you've found NGO/NP job boards, but you don't say which ones. I know http://www.idealist.org/ features some part-time and contract work, and also allows you to post a profile that NGOs and NPs can search for when they need someone with your skills. My only other suggestion is aggressive networking. Try and drip by conferences and meetings where people with GIS needs might be (boards of health, town planning boards, technology in government conferences, etc., etc.). This may be particularly helpful in the sectors you're targeting, since a lot of NGOs/NPs (not to mention local governments) aren't as technologically savvy as you might expect and hope. Good luck!
