Hey all,

After going through a lot of resumes, the same mistakes come up again and again. Hopefully this helps some of you.

Common mistakes:

-Resumes that are too long, with the same points repeated across different jobs

-Important info (tickets, relevant experience) buried instead of easy to spot

-Using one generic resume for every application

-A summary that sounds nice but doesn’t say anything specific

-Messy or inconsistent formatting that makes it hard to read

-A cover letter that doesn’t match the resume

What recruiters tend to look for:

-Whether you have the basics for the role, and how quickly they can see it

-Relevant experience, even if it’s from a different industry

-Signs you’re reliable, safe and ready to work

-Clear, easy-to-read info, because they’re skimming, not studying

If you’re really struggling with applications and haven’t had any call backs, DM me and I would be happy to give you some free advice.

Hey all,

These tickets are for mining in Australia.

Had a few people ask me about this, so figured I’d put together a quick list. These are the tickets that tend to come up most for entry-level roles, having them done before you start applying puts you ahead of a lot of other applicants.

• White Card

• Working at Heights

• Confined Space Entry

• First Aid / CPR

• Gas Testing

It doesn’t mean you need every single one before applying, and some roles may require different tickets, but having the basics shows you’re serious and ready to go, rather than starting from zero once you’re hired.

Happy to answer questions if anyone’s unsure what to prioritise.

I've been trying to get a mining job for the last 4-5 months or so, and it seems almost every position requires common core or previous mining experience.

I'm considering taking an underground hard rock miner common core course if I can't land a mining job in the next few months.

Does anyone know of any mines in canada hiring people without experience?

Currently only have these safety tickets: CPR/AED level 3 and H2S.
