If you’re a mining professional working in Australia, you won’t be surprised to hear your skills are in high demand. What we’re beginning to experience, however, are mining skills shortages attached to trades. As many large projects around the country enter the construction phase, more and more skilled trades people are in demand, too.

The big story this week, hands down, was the announcement of the closure of the coal mine at Norwich Park. Qantas has opened a FIFO route between Sydney and Newman Mining in WA and Tasmania workers are being lured to work in WA. We were super encouraged to hear the FMG Indigenous programs are paying off for everyone involved. One story that got everyone talking on our Facebook page this week was the feature about FIFO families in The Australian. The I Think Mining blog has a great story on geologist and why they deserve a high wage.

We’re back with another round of blog posts with advice provided by industry hiring managers. In the lead up to our jobs expo in May, we’ve asked jobseekers to supply the questions for us. We, in turn, have put them to the people making decisions every day about who gets a job in the Australian resource industry. If you’re looking for jobs in mining, would like to work for oil companies or are interested in energy jobs, make sure you turn up every Friday and hear directly from industry.

We frequently see the ‘apply for anything and everything tactic’ used by jobseekers eager to gain traction with hiring managers. Guess what? It doesn’t work. In fact, it could hurt your chances of ever getting a job.

If ‘How do I break into mining?’ is the most frequent question we hear, the second most common query we get is about tickets, licenses and certificates. We asked industry employers what they would recommend we tell jobseekers who wonder what investment helps their employment chances and which don’t. Now we know two things for sure.
