Working In The Mines

[7yphon]

Yer im trying to get into admin/Tech support. Try Telfar and BHP They are also looking for ppl

experience, qualifications don't mean dik. tell them your a kiwi and fake an accent. (say sex instead of 6 allot) and you're in.

sux to be aussie in australia, thats why i left. did you know Kalgoorlie is the capital of NZ?

btw the reason they pay 100k a year is because rent is 50k a year. come work in Ghana on a mine, i'm here 3 months at a time, home for 1 month. i pay for cigs and booze. rest is free. i pay bugger all tax. basically all the money i earn here goes to nengun and greenline.

forgot to mention child support kills ya. if your married or have GF forget FIFO or work away for extended periods. i been FIFO for about 10 years. I got kids to 2 women and child support kills me as i no longer live with either of them.

35 years old and i live with mum and dad. thats the main reason i still work overseas, they drive me nucking futs as i'm sure i do them. but at least i got somewhere to leave my 2 cars and 2 motor bikes lol.

but now i need money to get the cars together and to start getting a deposit for a house (again,bitch).

99% of mining companies are desperate for fitters, send your resume to a stack of them via the HR depts, and something will come up, provided your not just a 1st yr tho and have some experience

[Nick033]

im not even a first year lol, im looking to start an apprenticeship

you don't need to go to the mines anymore to earn the big dollars... if you have your semi licence you could be earning $50 per hour just driving metro.

Contact Oneforce recruitment too if you have a HC. HR etc licences.
