Answer 1

what steps should you take?? big ones mate...right away from there

Answer 2

I'm going to be dead honest with you.

My brother in law, my boyfriend, my actual brother and my dad (he used to) all work in the mines...

It's effing hard. If your lucky you can get in straight away, otherwise it can take yeeeaaarrrsss!

BUT my boyfriend did say that a truck license is looked upon highly. Also if your an electrician or a truck mechanic they're in demand.

Hope i helped, BUT don't give up. If you know someone thats in the mines, get a referance.

There are so many jobs for working on the mines. excellent money. they only probelm is being away. if your young and dont havea  family and looking to earn money this is perfect.

just search it on google, WA mining jobs and i am sure you will find it.

Answer 4

Keep an eye open when reading the local paper, there is always demand for new mine recruits. Also try your job search websites such as SEEK, mycareer.. etc.

I recommend you look into getting health insurance and life insurance if you don't already have it. Better to be safe then sorry.

EDIT - Was just looking at the jobs in the local paper and came across this ad and thought of your question.

If your in WA, then drop in to Leightons, HWE, McMahons, OD&E, FMG, etc and give them your resume.
