After a year and half of job hunting for a geologist position, I feel
like I'm searching for water on Mars. It's hard to find suitable
position match your qualifications. I know it has become global issues
for geology career, but I don't want to lose my faith. Government
oil/mining companies already have corrupted hiring system. In general,
they ask you for your grade (GPA), they hire only the perfect student,
but How can they judge the low grade fresh graduates? the national
universities has given you this grade/score, because they are using
bad/old education system not applicable in the industry. Some
universities adding general subjects or Islamic subjects/syllabi that
doesn't related to geoscience and that's may affect on your (GPA). I
hope one day we end any corrupted system to provide fair jobs for
everyone or change the minds of who in charge. On the other hand foreign
companies and investors always want experienced geologist, but most of
Egyptian geologist are fresh graduate. I surprised! when I realized the
employment gap between foreign companies and the government, there's no
connection.
