I'm looking for an entry level job in the oil and gas industry as a mud logger,
geosciences technician or something equivalent just to get started and get a few years of
experience under my belt. I will have graduated from University of South Alabama in
May 2014 with a BS in Geology. I am an optimistic and energetic person and like
learning about new technologies. I am dedicated, determined and make it a personal
priority to do everything to my best abilities 100% of the time. I am not opposed to
traveling or moving to be able to take a position, I would actually enjoy being able to see
more of the world. I am interested in learning more about how geology is applied and
how it can be used to help improve environmental and societal problems. I like hands on
environments, new technologies, constructing maps and cross-sections, along with
fishing, camping and hiking. I am willing to take all available training courses involved
in attaining a position, as well as any other training that could enhance my abilities,
knowledge and experience for furthering my career. I have listed below all of my skills,
education and work history with references. Please contact me by phone 251-***-****,
email at ************@*****.*** or Linkedin at www.linkedin.com/pub/cole-
willis/59/5a1/b0/ to set up an appointment for an interview. I would very much like to be
included in one of your available positions.
