Q:Do they hire women in the mines?

A: Yes, in many areas. The old culture of it being a male only industry is changing very quickly and more and more women are entering the industry in all areas.

Q: I am 47 years old, is that going to be a barrier for me?

A: No, age is not a barrier in the mining game. Its more about reliability and being able to do long hard day of work in the outdoors and extreme conditions. If someone doesn't turn up for work its going to cost the company a lot of money. I met a quite a few 60 year olds in the mines.

Q:How would I be able to gain a successful career in the mines?
Looking for a $100,000/yr ?

A:It not as easy as the media portray it, but if you are prepared to stick around for 2-3 years in the mining industry. It is possible to obtain that kind of salary in many different job fields. If you have a trade or a skill in high demand you will achieve that level of salary a lot quicker.

Q:Do you personally employ people in the mining industry?

A: No. I used to work in the mining industry in Western Australia and on this web site I offer my own mining guide that I wrote myself. Its a mixed between my story of getting a mining job in Australia and a highly detailed guide to help all sorts of people find their first job in the industry. When I first went looking for a mining job, I wasted a lot of time and money in the process and my goal is to help others avoid this common occurance when you first try to enter the industry. It's also to help people find employers that will hire people with no experience and that provide training.

Q:Can you get me a mining job with your contacts?

A: No sorry. My guide has everything in it, something I am proud of and something that I have even sold to friends when they were interested as its got everything inside it to help them out with valuable contact details for small contractors that hire greenies and it saves me a lot of talking. :)

Q:If fifo / Fly in Fly out good for couples?

A: Personally I wouldn't recommend it if you have young kids. Rosters are getting more family friendly but even if you are working 8 days on and 6 days off. You are loosing 8 days of family life. Money is not everything and many miners regret not watching their kids grow due to long periods away from home. If you are single or a couple and have no kids it can work well. If you are a couple and have no kids and both want to work in the mines it can take some time to synchronize your rosters, so you have the same week off. Just bear this in mind when you go job hunting. If you have young kids aim for a residential position. Mining towns have good schooling and child care facilities. You get to return home each night this way and support the local community. Some companies will even give you rental assistance. Mining Companies also make sure the local schools are well funded on top of government support so kids aren't

A: My the Australian mining job guide is only available via my web site and is emailed to you after your purchase.

Q: I from Spain and need to find a mining company in Western Australia or Queensland to sponsor me, can you help me?

A: Sorry, but the area of work visa's is not my specialty. I would recommend head to the official Australian Government web site for anything to do with VISA's and sponsorship for Australia. http://www.immi.gov.au/

Q: Can I send you my resume?

A: You can if you want some free advice on how to improve it. Don't send it, if you think you will be applying for a job as I don't employ people.

Q: Hey, I was wondering do they have jobs as a apprentice chef at the mines?

A: Yes, they are short of chefs in the mines all over Australia. Typically, it will be the larger mining camps that will have the room to fit an apprentice chef. If you have experience cooking you may also be able to obtain a job cooking for a small team of 20 or so miners in a remote camp/ caravan style.
