• If you are using generic job-search web sites (eg. Jobs.ac.uk below), search with keywords like "GIS", "spatial", "geospatial", "map" for GIS jobs and "EO", "remote sensing", "satellite", "photogrammetry", "image processing" for EO jobs
• When you are applying online (through web form or email) ALWAYS follow up with a phone call, regardless of what the agency/recruiter says, as online applications can go astray, but it also shows you're keen.
