GSH Job Board

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:05:32 GMT

As of August 15, 2008 the GSH Board has voted to charge for job postings.

The cost is $50 for 14 days and $100 for 30 days payable by credit card.

The GSH Job Board now assists you in three ways:

1. There is a confidential Employment Referral Service that works like the original GSH Employment Referral Service (GSH-ERS). Employers and job-seekers send job listings and resumes to the Chairman of the GSH-ERS Committee. The Chairman responds to the employer with a set of resumes that look like they meet his or her requirements. These requests and resumes are not made known to the general public. Some employers prefer this to the Job Board model.

2. There is a similar but publicly displayed Job Board for:

A. Jobs that employers want to have published on the GSH website. Anyone may post a job opening at no cost but they must be registered users of the GSH Website and logged in under their user name and password.
B. Resumes of job seekers looking for regular employment who want their resumes published. Only current GSH members may post their resumes. They may include their name and address or post them anonymously. As before, resumes may also be posted by consultants looking for contract work or individuals who do specialty service work. Resumes will remain posted for one year unless you delete it or ask that it be put in stand-by. If you want it to remain longer than one year, notify the GSH webmaster when it expires.

3. Links to additional Job Hunting Resources.

History

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:45:33 GMT

HISTORY OF THE GSH The origin of the Geophysical Society of Houston dates back to the fall of 1947. On October 7th of that year, Walter J. Osterhoudt was named as temporary chairman of a Constitutional Committee and Dr. E. E. Rosaire was made chairman of a Nominating Committee. At 4:00 PM on Thursday, November 20, 1947, 108 geophysicists met in the Houston Engineers Club to form what was then called the Houston Section of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (the name was not changed to the Geophysical Society of Houston until about ten years later). The meeting was called to order by Dr. L. W. Blau who presented the proposed constitution and Dr. Rosaire read the list of officer nominees. The constitution was accepted and Walter Osterhoudt was elected the first President of the Section. On December 2, 1947, the Executive Committee of the Houston Section prepared a formal petition for the local section and the formal charter was issued on February 14, 1948. The first technical...
