Geoscience Career Workshops
For more information, contact Jennifer Nocerino at
jnocerino@geosociety.org. Cosponsored by the GSA Foundation.
Part 1: Career Planning and Informational Interviewing.
Thurs., 21 May, 8 a.m.–9 a.m. 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. Thurs., 21 May,
9 a.m.–10 a.m. 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. Fri., 22 May,
9 a.m.–10 a.m. 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

learn important résumé dos and don’ts.
On To the Future (OTF)
Stop by the GSA Foundation booth at the welcome recep-
tion to ask an onsite representative about applying to OTF,
which provides travel support to students underrepresented
in the geosciences to attend their first GSA Annual Meeting
(the next one is 1–4 Nov. 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA).
Student Speaker Awards
Best student speaker awards will be awarded to both graduate
and undergraduate students in both oral and poster formats,
for a total of four awards.
