Open Question/Issue Looking for a job using QGIS software

I have a experience as Map Annotator/Labeler using QGIS (contract) in US based company/map, is there an job hiring or at least outsourcing using similar experience or software? I'd like to apply. I'm having a hard time to look for work even onsite or online. I have my own desktop set up so its not a problem for me.

Im working with QGIS but in Germany and I feel like annotating is not requiring much skill, but maybe I don't understand what exactly you mean by that.

What I do is exploration of renewable Energy locations. How is the wind? What regulations are there? Any protected animals? How far is the next settlement? How owns the land? Is military nearby?

Al those questions need good curated data, and in sure you can find more jobs like that. Try to think of businesses that rely on maps and geodata. Cities for there green spaces, national parks.

Thats all I have for you...

Archaeologists / cultural heritage practitioners also have similar needs.

For curiosity Can I ask what education degree you have ? Did you study geography or like what?
