Holy shit that second tip about saying nothing is absolute gold. I've tripped myself up by "doing the right thing" in the past and learned this lesson the hard way. People don't like to hear it but it's the skeleton in the closet of heavy industry... unfortunately it's often true that you go a very long way by turning a blind eye.
Hi mate, thanks for dropping past . Unfortunately its very true , every time i've offered to help suggestions you either get thrown under the bus or end up doing it all yourself and getting criticized for it. Even performance reviews now i don't say anything at all absolutely no benefit. Under the Radar is the best way to stay alive. strange world we now live in
The trick is to do it subtly so people don't even know you are helping them or changing things for the better just be under cover and never be under fire all right good luck mates
You all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
Sounds depressing 😂 Im glad i experienced working in the tunnels and mines during the 80's and 90's. Not many rules those days except stay alive and look after your mate.
cheers mate very kind of you to say , was a tricky one to do without getting my self in trouble fine balance in survival at the moment ! no one is safe..
@@34Media no problems mate, im about to start a fifo job and with watching several of your videos youve helpped me de stress a bit about it. if you have some time one day id like to pick your brains about what its like for you
Yep it's actually harder than it looks i got a verbal warning again for offensive language in a message yesterday i used "refusing" in a sentence. and i got my job threatened by management so much fun !
I recently got to learn no ,8,9,10 the hard way! My friend, keep your life to yourself it gets messy super fast! And must I add... don't get yourself in any romantic relationships with people if you want to survive they long. Gossip spreads fast in such settings! No 9. In my own words: After narrating an incident with my boss to my friend, she simply told me, Make friends with your boss. If he ain't friendly, make friends with your boss's boss. Better yet make friends with anyone in a position to affect your life at the workplace or any other place for that matter No 10 Do your job extremely well and don't be caught in small or big mistakes. I must say I love working away from home. I love exploring places. Something I didn't know until I got to do fieldwork. Moving from one place to the next is breathtaking! For anyone wondering, I'm a young surveyor by profession. Just starting out let's see where this career path takes me. Loving it so far 🥰
seems to be a common thread , in the field unfortunately. I can't see it getting better so hopefully education like this may help get past the dramas and keep the mortgage at bay !
thanks for the advice. i am a greenie starting my first swing this week. at inductions the company encourages employees to speak up otherwise you may be liable but all my fifo mates say people that speak up are rats with target on their backs..... i'll fly under the radar as per your advice
Tbh that’s the same in the normal world too. Maybe not as much as in mining but in construction or solar farm work I’ve done it’s the same thing. It’s all an arse covering exercise. As soon as you speak up you are seen as troublemaker.
I would assume most mines run in same way on a basic level. I guess like most things tread quietly for the first few months and get to understand how everything works.
Hey mate great video you got any advice on getting into the industry thinking ill go for it a go next year im 18 got no trade and no experience but im eager to learn
I suggest something like saving and getting a HR license try to get some experience in truck driving, other options all the big mining companies do apprenticeship every year intake normally around january check there websites contact them try and get a electrician apprenticeship would be the best win for you. other then that get your resume up on all there website recruitment pages and keep chasing them. The hardest part is getting in i had 20 years experience and a trade and still took me well over a year to get in and that was as a contractor then another 1.5 years to be able to swap over to the Dark side of the force ! last option is get on site with the camp services team cleaning gardening cooking no skill required trust me there is no such thing as a chef on any site ive worked !😂 then once you meet people and make friends opportunities will present themselves plenty of bar staff and cleaners now working as supervisors and tradies on site where i work. Mines don't care about qualifications its all done by iPad now days no actual skill needed just have to do what you r told and be PC compliant. Good Luck
Not sure how common , but the electric trade is def well sought after. Drop your resume on Bhp and rio websites they’ll have job pages to apply and might be lucky 🍀
yeah mate most of us , got into our trades form high school, tricky part is you need to be 18 to be on site unfortunately, because they sell alcohol. def keep an eye on the big miners websites they have heaps of apprenticeships and trainee ships happening at the moment great place to start.
@@rextee8826 yeah mate traineeship then is best bet check all the websites and facebook you can sign up with BHP i know for job stuff and add your resume in their pesistance is the key here.
Turning a blind eye can apply to pretty much all jobs, no one likes a brown nose and if your dobbin the crew in for things like "oh he was 5 late" or " he forgot to write in the numbers on that one sheet" everyone's gonna hate you quickly and a lot of the time the bosses/supervisors have more important things to attend to then someone's minor complaint ( this is aside major incidents where people have actually been injured or someone is doing something beyond stupid which will surely end in someone getting hurt or worse ) Rock up Do your job to the best of your ability Don't whinge Don't dob Leave Everyone's happy
yeah going ok, we tried moving but covid smashed the housing market in perth even more then it was already so may 2021. The channel side has been going well feel a lot happier with what im putting out and my daily news and tech show another day, another vlog is at 375 shows ! and nearly 1000 listens on the podcast ! so super stoked that all the hard work is paying off 2021 hopefully hit that magic 1000 subscriber mark . I know the money is still not enough to quit my job lol . But a good sign that im doing the right things to keep people informed and entertained! I was hoping for a new camera but the m50 mark 2 was basically a firm ware update so waste of time. If they don't release a pro app-c before ned of year i may just buy a second m50. Hope your well and covid hasn't affected you and the family too much , stay safe.
@@34Media 2:14 seems good to remember for the industry. Ya, Covid actually made a good opportunity for Trade School over here in Canada I'm doing a 9 month foundation course in Heavy Duty Mechanical Student Grants have doubled for all the Trade skill foundations & apprenticeship trainning.
@@Mark-df3qc Awesome mate glad to hear it great work, as my old man said you'll always have a job if you have a trade. Fair bit to sacrifice at start but will come back to you.
Dear Sir, I am Rohit Maurya from INDIA ,have completed Bachelor of Technology in Mining Engineering and planning for Masters in Mining Engineering from AUSTRALIA. I am talking about the opportunities after completing the Masters. What is the scope after doing Masters? What is the process for applying job? Would universities provide any assistance or Apprentice in Mining field job. Its a humble request to you. Yours faithfully Rohit Maurya (Mining Engineer) From INDIA
Definitely plenty of jobs available in western australia mining , unfortunately im not an engineer but best bet is just apply and keep applying to the big mini companies like FMG, BHP, RIO etc and also job agencies as well .
@@34Media sorry to hear that, hope you figure it out. I'm studying mining at uni, and I find it really interesting, though quite tough. But I am really wondering if the lifestyle is worth it, so def looking forward to your video.

G'day mate, have you seen any youngsters get into mining straight from High School? Just curious. Cheers
