QUOTE(kucingarab @ Oct 5 2011, 08:50 AM) yes it is possible. its just that im really interested in that field..im an engineering graduate with major in geotechnique.. But preference will always fall to those who had G&G background. You might be fitter elsewhere depends on your personal background. Any specific reason why you choose to be a geophysicist? other field might be more rewarding to you   Added on October 5, 2011, 8:38 pm QUOTE(azraeil @ Oct 5 2011, 03:52 AM) Extremely difficult. For these kind of positions you really need to have at minimum a BSc in Physics (I know of a Geophysicists who had a degree in Physics from USM but he's been doing Geophysics for the last 20 years so that was a long time ago). Nowadays, if you do not have a degree in Geology/Geophysics, you will not get that position. really?quite disappointing.. Taking a couple of courses won't cut it.

QUOTE(ICDeadPeople @ Oct 5 2011, 08:40 PM) Do you know what is the job scope of geophysicist? It might be different from what you learn in uni. yeah..its totally different from what i learned in uni..that's why i asked the question before is it going to be helpful if i have a master in geophysics?  |

QUOTE(ICDeadPeople @ Oct 5 2011, 09:02 PM) Not really sure if master will help you. The thing about being a geophysicist is you also need to know about geology, especially structural geology. Maybe instead of getting master in geophysics, get a master in geology. Usually when you join operators as freshie, they will put you as geoscientist. After that than you can choose either to be geologist or geophysicist. is that so? owh ok..thank you so much for the info! I know a guy who have degree in physics, take a master in geology and know work with operator.  by the way,are you in the field as well? |

just give it a try.to be sure,you can contact the person in charge.I think it is much better to apply from this kind of advertisement because ur resume will directly received by the person in charge
not like jobstreet. wait years until they respond to your application  just send ur resume,you have nothing to lose |
