Well, not had much luck yet.
Looks like the best way to get a job out on a mine is to know someone who is working out on a mine.
Which I don't. :(
Since sending out a mess of applications hasn't been working out so well, I might need to drive out to a mining town and ask in person. The only down side would be that any job I'd get out there is likely to be a job in and around the town which would mean living out there. Which could be a bit of a pain as rents are quite high out there.
It's the usual - lots of jobs being advertised but everyone wants people with experience. Where do they expect people to get experience I wonder?
Even the supposed "entry level" openings are looking for people with experience, which does not really make them entry level. The only ways that are "easy" that I have seen are exploratory drilling assistants. Not too sure how I feel about roughing it out in the middle of nowhere.
Well, keep hitting that brick wall until it breaks...
Or I do.
