Part time jobs with dealerships

Re: Part time jobs with dealerships

I have a few friends in geology, if you have an opportunity to get your foot in the door with an O&G company in a geology role you need to take it! One of the only ways you can get a full time gig with them is by having prior O&G experience. One of my good buddies has been the lead geologist at a gold mine the last 6 years and still cant get into O&G. Opportunities like this are ones that you should take

This. If you get an opportunity, take it.

...Contrary to popular belief, you don't just walk into a geology job anymore like the old days.

For sure. Especially with companies now having the pick of whoever they like, not just locally but from international markets now too.

Makes me feel like my degree will be worthless! I'm not exactly the best student. Nor do I take a ton of initiative.

Stick with it! Other faculties aren't much better.

Stick at it. I started my degree in my mid early 20s and stuck with it. Happy i made that decision instead of changing or dropping out. Although now there are no jobs in Australia so i'm here...

I've got two... perhaps I should either switch or try harder...

Well i still have another year left, but hopefully it's easier to find a full time job than an internship.

I found about 20 companies looking for geology interns this summer, and none of them called me back. It's really hard to get in, and my marks aren't poor by any means. If you can get the geology job, do it! I was "lucky" enough to get a job with the U of C as a hydrogeology research assistant. Anything related looks good on the post undergraduate resume.

Which company, O&G?

Yeah. Haven't talked to them yet so don't want to say anything.

Re: Part time jobs with dealerships

Don't mind that, looking for something to kill my time that doesn't involve retail.

Though I just found a company looking for geology students...

Re: Part time jobs with dealerships

Yeah pretty sure the real only opportunity will be a detailer. But hey you never know unless you try!

Re: Part time jobs with dealerships

It depends if you're looking to get into sales or service. I can see there being potential opportunities in service (detailer, shuttle driver etc) but not in sales as in sales you have to be available any time for a customer meeting or delivery.
