Fake Job Annoucement (for MMGL): GIS Analyst

This is a fake job announcement for which two or three candidates will be interviewed on air on Friday’s (July 22) Mohana Muralaee GaanaLahari on TORi. My guest Dr. Michael Krimmer and myself have expertise in GIS. So, it is not surprising that I chose to place this fake announcement for a GIS Analyst. This announcement is adapted from an actual job announcement. [This is a bold experiment – may be one of a kind. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope that it will be successful.]

What we intend to accomplish through this ‘work-shop’ like interview is to provide some professionalism tips via a mock interview. I certainly hope this experiment will be successful. Of course, we need some bold souls to respond to this announcement and be willing to be interviewed on air. 🙂
