"I've got a paid volunteering programme but it's not Geology-related."
@Inter_D_DJ tweeted:
"Kindly check the mining companies websites under careers and vacations, like Exxaro, Anglo-American, South32, Sibanye Gold Mine, Harmony Mine…"
@neptunethezimbo responded with:
"For those geologists looking to relocate, please check out Australia, Canada and mining countries in Europe. You will not regret it."
@VSterec said:
"BSc Geology is better if you got it with a bursary. I advise that you add something to that degree. You can add Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, Rock Engineering (get Strata control first). FACT: that industry is flooded by qualified yet unemployed professionals - be unique."

Halala: Woman travels 8 hours for job interview, after major bad luck she conquers all and bags position
In similar news, Briefly News reported that a lady from Pietermaritzburg (PMB) recently gave her Twitter followers a glimpse into how tough the job hunt has been for her, but through perseverance, she has unlocked a new opportunity.
The young lady who goes by the Twitter handle, @MkondeKitha said she got called for a job interview on Monday this week in a company located in the province of the Eastern Cape. But since she lives in KwaZulu-Natal, it was going to be a long journey to get to the interview.
She detailed parts of her journey and Saffas are shocked at what took place.
@MkondeKitha said she took a bus at night from PMB to the Eastern Cape town of Mount Frere. The trip was meant to be four hours but it took double the time because the bus experienced mechanical difficulties.
