Geoscience Career Workshops
Part 1: Career Planning and Informational Interviewing.
Your job-hunting process should begin with career planning, not when you apply for jobs. This workshop will help you begin this process and will introduce you to informational interviewing.
Part 2: Geoscience Career Exploration.
What do geologists in various sectors earn? What do they do? What are the pros and cons to working in academia, government, and industry? Workshop presenters, and, when possible, professionals in the field, will address these issues.
Part 3: Cover Letters, Résumés, and CVs.
How do you prepare a cover letter? Does your résumé need a good edit? Whether you are currently in the job market or not, learn how to prepare the best résumé possible. You will review numerous examples to help you learn important résumé dos and don’ts.
