Entry-level geologist interview help needed

Hi everyone! I recently graduated with a geology degree in December and landed an interview for an entry-level geologist position. The role involves reviewing groundwater and soil data, petroleum contamination from underground storage tanks, remediation strategies, site investigations, and technical report writing.

The problem is that I feel like I've forgotten a lot of what I learned in school, especially due to the fact i took a couple year gap in between (took my last semester in December after 4 year gap) and I'm getting nervous about being unqualified and because this is my first official interview. I know the basics, but I definitely need a refresher.

For those of you who work in environmental consulting:

  • What topics should I prioritize reviewing before the interview?
  • What technical questions are commonly asked for entry-level geologist positions?

I'd really appreciate any advice or resources that helped you prepare. Thanks!

Resume advice and feedback

First ever post on reddit so forgive any mistakes.

Need general advice and tips for my resume please. Some context I took a 4 year break from college in 2021 after some mental health struggles so most of my knowledge is just from this last semester I took in 2025. So I'm worried once I get an interview that will be a big issue. Is it recommended for me to take any qualification tests or certifications to help and which ones? I feel like I am started from the barebones knowledge unfortunately.
