How to find a job in Geology field? (Poland)

Hello,
I am originally from India and from two years I am living in Częstochowa. I am trying to find a job in Poland since two years but unable to find. I have done masters in Petroleum technology, Graduation in Geology and Diploma course in Gemology. I am ready to work in any city of Poland. I am also ready to work in any field. I have accounts on job search sites like pracuja.pl but no one is contacting me. What can I do? Is my qualification is not good enough to get a job here?

I have temporary resident card of Poland until august 2017.
Please guide me. What else I have to do for getting a job here?

Fellow Geology graduate here :) Why on earth would you want to try to find a post, even in geological servicing, here?
The solution is to put yourself in the marketplace, get any job, even if it's a low paying laboratory post, in the Earth Sciences field in a country that actually has subsidaries of such companies as Schlumberger, and take it from there. Go mudlogging, offshore, whatever, but there is nothing happening here - you need to get on your bike.

Then head down to Iraq, if you are in the loop, where historically the Polish pet. geologists and sedimentologists have had their base from communist times.

Not that I know anything actually - haven't worked in the field for 25 years :) But the above is what I would do (don't know about your rights of stay etc) but in the UK when I started, the home counties or Aberdeen used to be the first port of call for new graduates...

Hello,
Thank you so much for reply. Could you please guide me in which field I can get a job except from Geology? On the basis of my education. I don't have any experience in any field. Please suggest me something.

Hi, as you can see from other posts here - you might get an entry job in IT, with IBM in Katowice for example.....

I have done masters in Petroleum technology

If that is not an engineering degree, go back and finish an engineering degree in petroleum or geological engineering, either in India, or at a good school in one of the richer countries of Western Europe, or in an English speaking country.

If you already have an masters of engineering in petroleum or geological engineering, then don't waste your time with trying to find work in a poor country like Poland that exports petroleum and geological engineers. Go to the oil fields or rich mining regions and your will make a lot more money. You're young and can put up with the hardship for a five-year contract, so go for it.

Also, a word of advice about finding a job: if you see a job advertised, it's usually a bad job or it's already been filled. The best jobs are recruited by word of mouth, so network, network, and network some more. YOU have to get out there, meet real people face to face, and aggressively hunt for the job; a good job is not going to find you. Internet job sites are a complete waste of time.
