There are 2 places in Mining that Employers must hire New Starters
There are 2 places in mining that employers have no choice but to hire new starters now, Hardrock Underground and Exploration. These are the only areas of the industry that don’t have a choice of experienced people for their lowest paid jobs. In a boom the lowest paid jobs become the entry level jobs and in a bust or downturn the lowest paid jobs are filled with experienced people that need a job.
Now that you have identified the areas of the industry that need people, what is the next step? If you have been following us, you will know that the best advice for getting a job is
- Go where the employers have no choice but to hire new starters
- Give them what they want, someone that knows how the mine works
As we have already established that the Hardrock Underground and Exploration are the employers that need bums in seats and don’t have experienced people interested in the lowest paid jobs, these are the areas you should be targeting.
So how do you give the employers what they want?
Lots of people delude themselves into thinking that it’s practical truck driving experience that the employers want. The employers will spend 100 hours teaching you how to drive their truck, learning to driver the truck isn’t the problem. I can’t make this any clearer to new starters, that teaching someone to drive the underground truck is the easy part. It only takes a couple of weeks, they are point and shoot, hydraulic steering, automatics. They are the most expensive trucks you will have ever driven ($3million to $4.5million each), but the easiest.
The problem is teaching you enough about how the mine works, so you can be left alone to drive the truck on you own. No amount of equipment experience helps the employer, if you need a babysitter for the first 3 months, because you can’t get your head around how the mine works. The longer you need a babysitter the more the pressure gets ramped up and the more people fail. This is the reason more than 50% of green new starters fail in the first 6 months.
It becomes pure sink or swim training, with lots of people sinking. When if they had done the training and learnt how it all worked before they went, then they would have had a completely different result. Knowing how the employers mine works puts you 6 to 8 weeks ahead of everyone else applying for jobs and is how the training helps people get jobs. You can checkout our Wall of Fame page to see just how many people have used the training to get jobs.
The Hardrock Underground Gold & Copper mines are where the jobs are and if you want the education to get a job, then this is the link to the DIY introduction to underground mining training package. It teaches you everything the employers want and there are full instructions on how to redo your resume (it takes about 2 hours to do yourself), interview prep questions as well as a mining company to apply to directly. If you want your resume done for you checkout our inhouse 3 Step Plan package.
If you want help getting in, then we also do a Workready package, where you get a ticketed WA shift boss to help you with the mining information (they ask you lots of mining questions to make sure you have learned the information once you completed the online training). They will get your resume redone, do interview prep (including a mock interview) and come up with a plan of where and how you can get in.
If you’ve got any questions or if you’d like to talk to someone, you can leave your details on this enquiry form and we will be in contact.
I hope this info helps.
