Hello Everyone,
My 22 year old son has just finished his uni. degree and he wants to get a good paying job somewhere in the mining industry for a year or so. He has put himself through uni. by working during his long summer breaks as a laborer for land development companies - working on the shovel with excavators etc. in outer
Melbourne suburban developments- so he knows how to work in the heat and for 6 days a week. His main aim is to work for a year to try to buy himself a decent vehicle to take on his first trip around this great land. He is prepared to get himself a rigid truck license - cost around $800 here in
Melbourne - and he is not sure how to go about landing himself a job. He is prepared to go anywhere. Can anyone who is in the know offer any advice?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Martin.

What is his qualification and what kind of work is he looking for? Is he looking for work in the same area as his degree? It might make a bit of difference to where he looks- for example, there are a few websites only for engineering and environmental type jobs.
Otherwise, seek.com.au is the place to look, as
well as applying through the websites of the major mining corporations (eg BHP, Newmont, etc).

Amy,
His degree is a BA in History and Politics and he plans, eventually, to be a teacher. But he wants to get more experience of the world and be in a position to travel around Aus. Thank you for taking the time and effort to reply. I shall pass on your suggestions.
Martin.
