They'll hire anyone. As long as you can make a complete sentence, and have some type of background in GIS. They're talking to you in person for protocol purposes. Unless they'll just hire you on the phone. For long distance people, that may work.

Started with a phone interview that lasted about 30 minutes. Second interview was immediately set up before the end of the call. Second interview took place the following week. Received an offer the following week after that.
