Thanks heaps again to Keithy for letting me have a chat and hopefully share some insight into what it’s like being in shutdown mining as a young bloke or even as someone with no prior mining experience. I know some of my answers were a bit long winded but I’m hoping you guys will get some great info out of this video. Thanks Keithy!
My pleasure Cohen, it was great chatting with you! I’ve already had feedback that they enjoyed watching the video with you 👍🏻 I hope a lot of the young fellas watch and follow in your footsteps too!
love shutdowns, its always different. i would go insane if i was on a roster. i actually work inside those mills in your video thumbnail lol pretty cool inside the trommel.
Very interesting. My brother is on his way to the mines as a mechanic, so as a family living in the UK, this is really helpful to show us what he's getting into.
This was awesome. Thank you for doing this! I look forward to more day in the life of a FIFO worker too. I cannot wait to get my foot in the mining door. Keep up the good work mate! 🎉
That was a great video,big thanks to you keithy and cohen ,im a bit of a fossil age wise but looking to give mining a try in the near future so videos like this are what people like to see 👏🏻👍🏻
Hello Keithy sir, I'm going to join mining industry but don't know which Visa should I need and I'm from India so should I get the job first then process my visa or do I need Work permit Visa first then go ahead please sir elaborate the process I'm confused. Appreciate your help ♥️
G’day mate, good to see you 👍🏻 I’m not sure exactly which VISA you need, I’m not familiar with the VISA system. I would only be guessing if I was to say anything. Cheers Keithy
keithy I am 32. no experience in mines but basic labour experience and plenty of hardcored physical labour in the past. Willing to do the hard yards as a labourer. Is it too late aged 32?
G’day mate, thanks for singing out! As you heard from Cohen in the vid - age is just a number. You can do it! As long as your resume is neat and covers your current experience you should do well.
Hey mate! I am a trained industrymechanic in germany in a big company. 3,5 years education, one year workexperience with an age of 21. Do you think, if I get the licenses (WHITE CARD, Work at heights, confined space,..?) I got good chances of getting a mechanic job in the mine industry? I appreciate your videos! Greetings from germany.
G’day mate, from Australia! The white card isn’t necessary in the mining industry, but the working at heights and confined space are very handy in the mining industry. Those skills will not aid with a job as a mechanic though. You can keep them up your sleeve of looking for another role in the mines, such as a technician or operator.
