Geog-errr?

Posted on 2018-10-022018-09-11 by ajggeoger in Business

Why go independent?

Posted on 2018-08-072018-08-15 by ajggeoger in Business

Over the past 5 years that I've been working for myself, I've been asked quite a few times -  "Why did you set up Geoger?"

Getting that job

Posted on 2018-01-092017-11-10 by ajggeoger in Business, General

At Geoger, I get quite a lot of approaches from students and new professionals looking for that first position in the Earth observation (EO) sector - unfortunately the plan for Geoger doesn't currently involve taking on staff, but this may change. Typically, these approaches come from people with a background in GIS although I also … Continue reading Getting that job →
