In my role as a Solution Consultant at Esri, I’ve seen growing demand for skills in web GIS, automation with Python, and real-world app-based projects. Clear storytelling in your portfolio really helps it stand out. Looking forward to hearing others’ takes too!

In my experience, ArcGIS Pro, Python scripting, and GeoAI/machine learning applications are highly in demand. To make a resume and portfolio stand out, focus on real-world projects that demonstrate problem-solving, spatial analysis, and clear visualization. For portfolios, projects like urban planning analyses, environmental monitoring, or disaster risk mapping really showcase practical GIS expertise.
