Mining Jobs No Experience in the Australian Mining Industry

Customer now working the mines, thanks to my helpful guide and support.

I personally worked in the mines in Western Australia and saved $58,000 AUD cold hard cash in 1 year. I have now paid my student loan off, have done some overseas traveling and have invested the rest. The Mines is a great way to get out of debt, get paid what you're worth, or gain an awesome experience working amongst the biggest machinery ever!.

It's 2010 now, the price of gold is strong and those mining companies are busy hiring like crazy again. Iron ore and Nickel mines are in the hiring stage as well. But for people with no experience it can be hard, head to a recruitment agency and they will likely tell you that you need "experience".

Its a cache 22 situation, I was in your shoes too. What do you do? This is what you do! Contact the small contractor firms working for the big mining companies. Allot easier to find entry level jobs, your not just a number with them and they often have the time to offer training for free. Again these hard to find contractors I have put in my guide to help everyone out there.
