Seeing the Texas/Louisiana surge — applying within 24 hours on remote roles got me two quick screens. > Field experience in watershed projects is a plus. I lead with a 2-line bayou flood study and attach one HEC-RAS profile + ArcGIS map; it bumps me up, but note many ‘remote’ TX jobs still want a quarterly site visit.

I started putting ‘TX PE (comity) in progress + Central Time availability’ at the top of my resume; for remote hydrology roles out of Houston it doubled my callbacks — filters seem to key on that, @stemill. Before the license cleared, stating I’d kick off reciprocity within 60 days still got me a quick screen — worth a try?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌‌​⁠‍​‌​​‍‌⁠‍‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠‌​​‍⁠‌‌​​‍‌‌‍‌‌​⁠⁠‌‍‍‍‌​​‌​⁠​⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

, the “apply promptly” part is real — posts vanish in hours, so I keep a 1‑page mini‑portfolio ready with HEC‑RAS 2D/HMS/SWMM snapshots and a public sample on HydroShare (https://www.hydroshare.org/), and it’s doubled my remote callbacks. For TX/LA listings, sprinkling in TWDB and DOTD deliverables by name seems to help ATS, but a few firms still insist on an ArcGIS Pro.aprx, so I attach both PDF and.aprx when allowed. @OP anyone else seeing requests for Atlas 14 scripting or is that just a Houston thing?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​​​⁠‍‌‌​‍‌‌​‍‌​⁠‌‌‌⁠‍‌‌⁠​‍‌‌​⁠‌​‍‌‌⁠​​‌‍‍⁠‌​‍​‌⁠​‌‌​⁠‌‌​⁠​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Quick add: for remote roles I attach a 3‑line “methods note” — Atlas 14 intensities, why I used NRCS CN vs. rational, and my QA step — which consistently gets me faster technical screens. In TX/LA, naming the specific county ordinance I’ve worked under and dropping the NOAA Atlas 14 link (PF Data Server-PFDS/HDSC/OWP) has been the tie‑breaker; small caveat: it won’t help on pure planning postings.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‍​​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌​⁠​‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌​‌‌‌‍​⁠​‍‌⁠‌⁠‌​⁠‌‌⁠​⁠‌‌⁠⁠‌‍‍⁠‌‌​​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I’ve had better luck adding a single line like ‘FEMA MT‑2 submissions: 3 approved (HCFCD/LCG)’ on page one and linking a one‑page case summary; in TX/LA that signals permitting wins and bumped my callbacks, though I switch it to ‘DOT drainage submittals’ if the role leans roadway.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍⁠​⁠​⁠‌​‌‍‌⁠‍​‌‍‍​‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌⁠‍​‌‌‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‍​​⁠​‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

And for ‘remote’ roles, I list CST hours and monthly site-visit availability; faster callbacks, especially for TX/LA teams. YMMV.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‍‌‌​⁠‌‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠⁠‌​​⁠‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​⁠​‍‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌​‍⁠‌‌​‌‌​⁠​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​
