Thanks mate always good to get positive feedback

@@Perh-s9r yes mate it runs through how a jumbo works, boring and installing ground support, it also goes through how the long hole drills the stopes out 👍

@@Perh-s9r it's a hard question, that one to answer All the companies are different with their views on hiring older people for the off-siding jobs (some will some won't), and it also depends on whether they've had any recent failures of anybody that is older to whether you'll get a start or not Personally, I think you should be looking at the nipper, the truck, the Agi and service and paste crew jobs, there's a lot more opportunity around and age isn't really a factor as long as you're fit There's a lot more money in the production mining sided jobs rather than the exploration jobs as well Hope that answers your question.

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters honestly I search entry level mining jobs and the only thing that comes up are drillers offsiders jobs.

@@Perh-s9r sorry I didn't answer last night it got a bit late by the time I saw your comment You need need to change you search to "underground" instead of "entry level mining". All the nipper, truck operator, service crew, paste crew, Agi and diamond driller offsider are entry level, even the ads that ask for experience we get you to apply for those jobs once you have done the training This is a link to the mining jobs to apply for page undergroundtraining.com.au/mining-jobs-to-apply-for/ and a link to our mining job hunt videos which I do every Sunday on this channel undergroundtraining.com.au/mining-job-hunt/ Hope this info help

@@ryanking166 that sounds like a good plan that you've got there It's what I'd be telling you to do. Sign up for the DIY now. Study all the way through to your trip and just before your trip or just after your trip upgrade to the Workready, so we can get your resume sorted and then as soon as you get back do the prep with me and then start applying. The more time you've got to study the information the better result you'll get. So starting now will make a big difference That's the plan I'd go with, which was your plan, which is great 👍

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters sounds good, thanks for the advice. I've just ordered the DIY course now and I'll upgrade closer to the date.

@ryanking166 if you get stuck on anything or you need any help just let me know 👍

@@AustralianMiningforNewStarters no worries, I will do. Thanks again.

@@WangByron feel free to share the channel around anybody that you know that's trying to get into the industry 👍 Thanks for the positive feedback

Hi Nathan it's not an issue for the employers we deal with as long as it is a manual license you shouldn't have a problem, this is a link to our contact form, if you leave your details I will give you a call and we can talk about how it all works and how you can get a start in the mining industry undergroundtraining.com.au/contact-us/enquiry-form/

@@freshingtron21 Only when you accidentally hook onto it and rip it all down 😜

@@woofythor hi and thanks for the question It won't matter that you've been doing a desk job for the last 8 years. All the employers that we deal with are interested in is people that know how the industry works and how their mine works so they can throw you in the deep end I've pretty much covered the questions that you're asked in today's job hunt video, the link of which is below ruclips.net/video/TQp4tFoK7f4/видео.htmlsi=LFJulnK_8VEzq9Q2 You need to have a look at the videos that I've done on the S11 and equipment tickets before you waste a whole heap of money on qualifications that are only used in the coal mining industry in Queensland and as I go into in today's job hunt video, that's not where the jobs are The employers that we deal with want people on their gold and copper mines and none of those employers use the S11 or equipment tickets. They all have to issue their own on-site procedures and on-site equipment tickets Thanks for the positive feedback. Glad you're getting info out of the videos. If you've got any more questions let me know, but the best way for you to get a job is to sign up for the training. Make sure that you study it. Put your previous processing experience on your resume but just make it real clear that you've done the training to educate yourself how the Hardock mine works because you want a career on the production mining side of the industry, there's full instructions in the training on how to do this Hope that info helps

@@anthonyrear7237yes, the owner operators are slightly more forgiving but it's all down to circumstance Because everybody relies on the buddy system for training. It just depends on how good your buddy is and one of the main reasons that we wrote the training, we wanted people to be able to access the information that the buddy should be showing them on the job. Because if you get somebody that doesn't know or they're not of good communicator or there's a personality clash for whatever reason, then it can make it really hard for you to succeed. Whereas if you do the training (the DIY and now that you've got the job. You can write it off on tax) it teaches you everything that the buddy should be showing you. So if you do get somebody that falls into that poor category, you've got all the information to jump in with them and go and make it work for yourself. We often get stories from people that have gotten jobs that this has happened to, they've been able to navigate the situation themselves by using the information that's in the training Hope that answers your question and the best way not to fail is to know exactly what you're walking yourself into, well done on getting the job as well 👍

Thanks for the question again, I answered it in today's job hunt video, it starts at the 4.10 minute mark and goes through until the end ruclips.net/video/TQp4tFoK7f4/видео.html

Hi Charles the Dimond Driller Offsider jobs are the ones to target (still apply for all the other jobs because you never know) if you are going Kalgoorlie. Make sure you study because you ned to present as someone that they can throw in the deep end and get up and running in a short amount of it. That's how you will get a job, good luck

@ thanks for the advice 👍

This is a link to our mining jobs to apply for page with lots of jobs on it undergroundtraining.com.au/mining-jobs-to-apply-for/ The easiest way in is to learn how it all works through the training we offer, makes it so much easier to get a job undergroundtraining.com.au/course_info/mining-training-course/

@@tekvsouvi not a problem. I will keep doing the job hunt videos every weekend. Glad to hear your getting something out of them Remember education's the key to getting in so doing the training is important if you haven't already done that If you've got any questions just let me know, thanks for the comment 👍

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters Yes sir I've been listening to you and that's one thing you drill in my head. I have one question while I have your attention. Is there a link or video you have about obtaining a skilled worker visa because I'm in America

@@tekvsouvi you will be able to use the training to get a job in the US or Canada We just had a guy use the training to get himself a job before Xmas in Canada The employers in Australia are just looking for a visa that they don't need a sponsor for so the Working Holiday Visa works for that one But I would look at doing the training where you are and looking for a job over there before coming over here and start looking This is a link to the latest video we have done on Visas ruclips.net/video/QB9gSa1Zq2Q/видео.htmlsi=kMna_3Tj0lk0jxbW Hope that answers your questions

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters Thanks man for the info, you dont understand how much I appreciate it

@@Ray-Bradbury-o5s yes no problems. Jess and I we'll do a video on this topic next week 👍

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters thank you mate!

Because no one tells anyone anything: Your best bet is to land a CONTRACT type job if you are on a six month visa. There are lots of 6 month contracts out there and it will give you a better chance to get a sponsored visa by the company you work for if you do well. Always apply direct to mining companies or headhunters who feed direct to the big mining companies. Working for "dodgy" or fly by night contractors will get you nowhere as will shutdown work (unless you want to do shutdown work your entire life- most do not). With most shutdowns, you will get little to no support, be dropped off at a mine site, given a work pack for a site you have zero knowledge of and told see you later- in other words you will be set up to fail and your chances of 50/50 get smashed down to about 15/85, not to mention, you will spend $$$ on tickets for different mine site and companies that you may only use for one shutdown swing. To add to this, if it dosent work out, there are sometimes clauses that any paid time doing training or inductions is clawed back from you if you fail to complete a certain amount of time at the job- NEVER ACCEPT AN AGREEMENT LIKE THIS, you have no idea weather or not you can handle this industry until you have been on the ground working in a mine. Another thing to consider is that if all you have on your CV is shutdowns, the mining companies will become reluctant to take you on full time. I have been doing shutdowns on and off for the last year, as I am between two different countries now, but I wouldn't dare list those on my CV. Remember, the labor hire companies will tell you "ongoing work" but that is designed to fool you into a false sense of security of continued employment because they can let you go in a second and as Andrew says, all it takes is to get a garbage supervisor/ one you don't get on with or one who takes no prisoners and you're done, stuck in a remote part of the world having spent thousands to get there, which brings me to my next point. Have six months worth of savings in the bank and an exit plan to your home country/ state if things don't work out- you don't want to have your life ruined by the whims of some supervisor who wont even remember you in two days time. Don`t become a victim, plan your mining career carefully and you can do very well indeed. Good luck.

@@Mike-ry4ti yes it is and the media isn't covering it I wonder why?

They normally only ask for the Australian one but we have had people come over from NZ before with their NZ one as well and hand in both It really just depends on what the employers want and most employers only want the Australian police clearance Hope this info hleped

@@Humanskidmark I don't know what's going on with the RUclips algorithm but these days social media seems to only push people doing videos about their accommodation on site, rather than what the job actually is going to be and what the employer is going to expect you to do on site (they love their tiktok stars) Wish we had better numbers but people stop watching once they find the channel, do the training and get a job (which we totally get, no point watching once you've got a job). That's why the numbers for most of the videos are around where they are. Once people get a job or decide it's not for them they move on But anything you can do to share the channel around would be much appreciated. And if you've got any questions about mining, more than happy to answer them. It's all about just showing the employer that you know what you're getting yourself into and you understand how their mine works, when you can do that, it puts you 6 to 8 weeks ahead of everybody else that they're looking at for these jobs and that's how people get work after doing the training through us Thanks for the nice comment 👍

It does. The course covers way more than you need for an entry level role. It's a tool to remain there and go up

@@harleymcnamara3049 yes it covers all the jobs and with the underground jobs you only need a manual car licence. You don't need a HR licence. If you go back through the channel you can have a look at some of the videos that I've done on the different licences that you need and why, that will explain to you what's going on Andy, who's replied to you, down below was one of the guys that just recently used the training to get himself a job Moving to a mining town can be a good way of getting a job, but make sure that you know what you're getting yourself into and do the training before you go. Otherwise, you might get an opportunity and it might not work out the best, which unfortunately happens a lot when people go in green Hope this information helps and if you've got any questions let me know

@@andygoh8681 thanks, andy

@@jeremygeurts1126 there's a fair bit going on the gold and copper leases around the country With the gold price as high as it is everybody's looking to open a gold mine and to do that you have to drill some holes 👍

@@kaaawakiwi no mate, as long as you can show them that you know how it all works. You're more than in the age range that they'll give you a shot. We just had a guy (3 months ago) in his mid-60s get a job, if you go and have a look at the video on Snatch-it season which we did a couple of months ago. You'll see the comments that he left about himself getting a job using the DIY package Hope that information helps

@@AustralianMiningforNewStarters Thanks mate. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks for your videos. They're priceless.

@@SRTechnical0047 yes, there's nothing stopping you from signing up for the training It's got all the information in there that they don't teach you in uni about how the mine actually runs and what they want out of their employees that do all the work I thoroughly recommend mining engineers do it because if you come to Australia and you want to get your first class mine manager's ticket you actually have to do 2 years doing the crew jobs Underground before they let you sit it It's the same if you want to get a shift boss's ticket. You have to have 2 years of practical experience as an engineer before you can sit the test it's the same if you want to get a shift bosses ticket. You have to have 2 years of practical experience as an engineer before you can set the tests Hope that answers your question

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters thanks for your information. I mean on site training in Australia.

@@SRTechnical0047 The only way to get on-site training is to get a job Our training is the only non-company training available to the public that actually teaches you how it all works The only other way to get the training is to get a job and do it on site. That's why we wrote our training back in the day as shift bosses. We just got sick of having people turn up not knowing how it all works. So everything that they show you on site, is included in the online training Teaching you the practical sides of the jobs is very simple and it doesn't take very long, however teaching you what everybody does around you, and what's going on. That's what everybody struggles with, especially the engineers But if you're after on-site training, the only way you're going to get that is if you get a job and then it becomes sink or swim training. You either get it or you don't. And if you don't get it, you'll be out the door without a job That's unfortunately the way it works Hope that info helps

@@Pleaidian-z3x no they take them in green (no mining knowledge) and then train them on site and that's where it all goes wrong. People get into it without knowing anything about it and because the employers need people, they just hire whoever applies (in places like Perth and Kalgoorlie and Mount Isa) and pour people through until they get a few that stick I've been watching it happen for 30 years and that's why I'm such a big advocate of the training because if you know how it all works before you go it just makes it so much easier for you and the crew that you get assigned to Thanks for the question. Hope I answered it 👍

@@jacobwinn2765 hi Jacob! You just need to be walking fit for your age, to be able to get a job in the mines The employers are all looking for people that can be thrown in the deep end and know how their minr works. If you have a look at the training, that is linked to the channel, it gives you a good rundown on what exactly you are going to be required to do on site and it goes through all the systems of work that they use in the mines The oldest person we've helped get a job in the last 6 months has been 64 with lots of people your age getting work at the moment If you can show the employer that you know how their mine works, then it's less about what you've done in the past and more about what you can do for them in the future This is how we can help people get jobs If you want a call or to talk to somebody about this just let me know Hope this information helps

@@AustralianMiningforNewStarters that's awesome help, thanks Andrew! Slowly getting my ducks in a row over here in NZ, so will get in touch when I pull the trigger. Have had a good look at your website, it's the best resource I've found.

@jacobwinn2765 no problems Jacob. Thanks for the feedback and just to let you know we've had a lot of good results with people coming over from New Zealand lately, if you watch the latest video, Rich has just relocated from New Zealand and got himself a job over here as a truck driver last week, it was a really good result

@@LH-mx1tx no, you don't need a white card. You just have to look at the job ads for that. All you need is a one-day working at Heights, a senior first aid and a manual car licence and some mining knowledge. Knowing how the mine works is the biggest skill that you can show the employer you've got and that's how we help people get jobs Hope that information helps

@@jamiebarkley7504 thanks Jamie. Hope you have a great New year too and it doesn't take you too long to find a job 👍

@@LH-mx1tx no. Not in the gold and copper mines where all the jobs are going at the moment Some mines come with challenges that they use PPE to address but all the Hardrock mines have ventilation systems that have to turn the air over in the mine every 20 to 40 minutes because of the mine's regulations in each state It's gone from being one of the most dangerous industries that you can work in 30 years ago to now where you've got more chance of getting hurt on the surface than you do in the underground workspace Hope that answers your question
