FIFO JOBS -it’s hard to get?

It’s hard to get a FIFO JOB… no shit!

Want to know why you are feeling frustrated, disheartened, or simply fed up from not hearing any news back from every application you send of?

It’s simple … it’s all in the preparation you do, prior to putting your application in …IT IS THE KEY to why you are not getting anywhere.

Without preparing your knowledge and understanding of FIFO within the Mining, Resources Industries, it will stand out within your resume and how or where you are applying to!

Here are just 3 simple examples of common mistakes;

  • If key information is not within your resume, you are not going to succeed to the next level.
  • If you do not know the type of position you are applying for “JOB TITLE”, you won’t get far.
  • If you don’t know how the system works, you are stumbling in the dark.

As a FIFO JOB member, you can gain valuable information;

  • That will not only save you hours of searching the web for “just where to start” …your time is valuable, not many of us have too much free time to waste!
  • That can speed process your opportunity to gain getting through to “stage two” of your application!

Several stages to the process involved to gain a FIFO JOB;

Stage 1 – Application process
  • Application is received
  • Application is short listed – YOU GET A PHONE CALL OR EMAIL to confirm what’s in your resume and discuss your suitability to the “position offered”
  • YOU DO NOT GET A PHONE CALL OR REPLY EMAIL TO STATE YOU ARE NOT SUITABLE.
  • You may be required to a one on one interview this can be in person or via phone.
  • Reference check

# Even if you have reached this far, don’t get to excited this does not mean you have the job yet!

Stage 2 – Suitability to the position offered;
  • Interview with the company hiring
  • You may be required to submit further paper work – so have prepared your police clearance and relevant copies of any certificates you have.
  • Medical

# Even if you have reached this far, don’t get to excited this does not mean you have the job yet!

There are huge costs involved with hiring new employees to the employer hence there is no quick fix!
The system does not work as “send your resume in, get a call you’ve got a job”
There is process for a reason, it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months before you would know if you have the job…
There are exceptions, if you have the skills experience and availability the “Employer” is seeking, then the quicker you will be processed and on your way to your 1st pay packet!

However the KEY to this is, your PREP prior to formatting and sending of your resume makes the difference of you gaining the job or not even making it to the person looking for the “right person” for the job!
