The North West Regional Group of the Geological Society are hosting a careers afternoon to aid graduates and post graduates, as well as those geologists who are between jobs or want to explore new career paths with potential new ventures.
Time:
Careers Afternoon will open at 12 noon.
Careers talks commence at 1pm
The afternoon will comprise a number of talks by geologists
in a varied range of geological fields to discuss what is
involved with their specific field.
The speakers will also
discuss their career path and their experiences to date.
Each speaker will have just over 10 minutes to discuss their
field and experience. There will be a question and answer
session following the talks to allow audience members to
query the speakers about aspects of their fields.
This event is to be held at The University of Manchester and
the Careers Service have kindly provided sessions on how to
draft a CV, as well as on interview techniques, following the
speakers. They will also be in the foyer for questions.
The Geological Society will be presenting a talk on the
benefits of membership during the session, and will be
holding an hour talk regarding Chartership (applying for
Chartership as well as requirements for scrutineers) at
6:30pm (Williamson Lecture Theatre).
There will be stalls in the foyer with employers in the
geological field who can provide further advice on careers.
Many of these employers are likely to also have possible job
vacancies.
This event has been organised to compliment the Keyworth and Edinburgh GeolSoc careers days in November.

- Mrs Lucy Thomas (RSK) - Geo-Environmental Engineering
- Mrs Rachel Stringer (Atkins) - Geotechnical Engineering
