New research says expansions in the resources industry mean Queensland will need an extra 30,000 mining workers over the next five years.
According to research firm Kinetic Group's annual Heartbeat Report, new and expanding projects in Queensland are predicted to double the state's mining workforce over the coming decade.
"When these growth rates are applied to Queensland's Office of Economic and Statistical Research baseline of 55,500 mining employees this equates to 14,500 new staff by 2014," it said.
"Longer term forecasts indicate the need for an additional 30,000 employees required in Queensland over the next five years."
Kinetic said employment demand, including operating and construction staff, was expected to reach its peak in 2014 and training graduates, apprentices, trainees, and cadets was expected to rise 21 per cent in two years.
The report said more than 13,000 of the new jobs would be unskilled operator jobs, but new workers were also hurting companies by quickly leaving the industry.
"18.4 per cent of employees who separated in 2010-11 were new recruits that commenced work in the previous 12 months," it said.
The report also said the mining industry was ageing fast, and a lot of new entrants were older than the current workforce.
It said research indicated less than 10 per cent of the industry was under 25 years of age, and almost one third of new recruits were 50 or older.
Earlier this year Kinetic Group CEO Derek Hunter told Australian Mining many unskilled applicants weren't serious about working in mining after facing the reality of the cost of training and the tough work conditions.
"A lot of people are excited about getting a job in mining, but whether they are suitable for it is a major question," he said.

Hmmmm! Something tells me that the golden days here will soon be over. Although the youngbloods here are enjoying the fiesta, their hearts and minds are in Broome. Soon, they’ll be celebrating the fiesta there. Aside from lechon and adobong manok, there’ll be steaks and lobsters. And the really2X giant mud crabs. Saw one being held up by a bloke with both hands. Similar to the ones in Central America. Like Philippines, Broome has a tropical climate.
Mamingao na kaau ang Ilihan. Or, for that matter, Bohol. Malungkot na si RG and whoever’s left behind. They’ll be reminiscing the sweet moments past. How delightful has been the friendship boon! Can’t help it! Like skipper, gotta accept the harsh realities of life. Money is more important. Hehehe.
I can envisage a talented girl like Zulacs being involved in the massive gas plant construction there. Unlike those working in the mines, no need to be travelling back and forth every fortnight. Plenty of time for correspondence courses online to fully qualify her profession. Perhaps, even go further. Eventually, becoming a ceo of that plant.
Buying a large vacant land for investment. Easy to secure a 25-yr home loan from the bank. Temporarily having a makeshift shelter for home. Eventually, a skyscraper designed by her. Annual fiestas will be held there.
Goodbye Bohol! Goodbye Philippines. Filipinas kong mahal.

Monetary wise, it’s always been. In fact, it’s even better nowadays. More and more girls are joining the workforce. Blokes have less and less chances to get contracted with marriage measles. Oh, how I wish I could wind back my clock to half my age now!
By the way, where have you been? Perhaps a better question is what sort of mischief have you been up to?

What's in your mind, mate? Hehehe.

HIGH-paying jobs are out there for the taking. They're just not where they used to be.

Your biggest investment is your career.
And, just like your investments, you need to understand how the jobs cycle is changing to take advantage of where the big money is being earned.
Remember when parents used to encourage their kids into the bank or a respectable white-collar middle management position? Not any more.

Today it's all about being open-minded and developing skills to suit the boom industries of mining, online, telecommunications and science.
If you're after a local job and not prepared to broaden career options or skills, then you will more than likely miss out.

The latest employment and wages data provides a terrific career blueprint:
The average wage is $69,170 a year but in mining it's $113,636. At the other end of the scale, the lowest annual wage is accommodation and food at $49,785, along with retail jobs at $50,898.
Over the past year the biggest pay rises were jobs in wholesale trade, construction and mining. But wages dropped for administration, financial and real estate jobs.
Finance jobs have a relatively high average wage, but numbers are being shed and salaries are falling.
On a state-by-state basis, the ACT pays the highest wages (public service salaries are pretty good), followed by Western Australia and the Northern Territory because of their mining booms.

Don't be put off by thinking you've had no experience or skills for these boom industries. Many of the jobs are unskilled and there is a boom in associated industries which support, say, mining.

For example, while the tourism and accommodation industries are generally being hurt by the high Australian dollar, hotels and cafes are booming in mining regions as they cater for the influx of workers.
We know of a former real estate agent retrenched in the property downturn who took an unskilled job in mining for $120,000 a year. He works 12-hour shifts, two weeks on, two weeks off, and all accommodation and food costs are covered. The two-week shift starts when he leaves the airport and finishes when he flies back in.
Yes, he's away from home for two weeks at a time but he's saving a bundle from an "unskilled" job.
Mobility is the key. Being prepared to travel to find a better job is essential in today's labour market.
While there's a lot of talk about mining opportunities, telecommunications and online sales and marketing jobs are also surging.
If you can't find your ideal position at the moment, stay in your current job while continuing to look around.
The best jobs can often be in the remote areas such as the fly-in-fly-out mining jobs or other similar careers.

Don't underestimate the importance of a resume. It can win or lose a job.
A resume should outline why you're the best person for the job. Include all relevant experience, qualifications, skills and emphasise big career achievements. Change the resume for different job applications to make sure you're meeting each of the advertised criteria.
The interview is vital, so make sure you're prepared.
Think about any qualifications, skills and positive qualities that would set you apart from other people applying for the job. Bring them into your answers or bluntly tell your interviewer "I think you should hire me because ... " . Don't be shy. Whoever does the best job marketing themselves will win the job.

I've been here and there, keeping myself busy nowadays.
