I finished a degree in Geology 2 weeks ago and I'm looking for work. Problem is that I have no idea what I'm doing. So far some of the faculty at my old school sent me some links for the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management but so far I haven't been able to get in contact with anyone at those two offices. Recordings and recordings and recordings. I've even googled 'geology jobs' which ended about like you'd expect.
Any advice? I've never looked for geology work before, I don't have a clue where to begin.

You need to take the test. It the civil servant test. All federal employees take it. Then you can apply for government jobs.
Hi OP, working geologist here. It's a little trickier with a BA but definitely doable. Lookup environmental consulting companies; Arcadis, Stantec, etc. They have a need for geos, which includes groundwater monitoring, well installation (drill rigs), and much more. Some of it will be oversight, which a bit dull, but you get a good idea of how environmental compliance works wherever you are. They have websites which you can create accounts for. Be prepared to travel as a geo.
Otherwise, check out all levels of government. Counties in CA hire grout inspectors. I personally worked for the state for 2 years out of college as a science aid, all the whIle applying to consulting. Don't be like me and get comfortable. Keep applying and applying. Tailor your resume to indicate you know of or have some field experience related to what they do. Read books about these subjects if you have to. I had a couple friends who got picked up right out of college; just be persistent.
