According to Randstad’s largest global independent employment survey, mining and natural resources is among the top five industries considered as most attractive to work in. The other four industries include: aviation, fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), federal government and media.
1. Aviation
2. Mining & natural resources
3. Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)
4. Federal Government
5. Media
Although each of these industries is seen as attractive, the reasons behind why Aussies want to work in them strongly differ. The mining and natural resources industry ranks highly largely due to its learning opportunities, leadership and salary benefits. As found by Seek.com.au, the average salary for professionals working in mining, resources and energy is $126,034 – the highest average salary compared to all other industries in Australia. The engineering industry comes second with an average salary of $107,664 and construction comes fourth at $105,853.
The mining, resources and energy sector is, without doubt, very attractive because of its high paying salaries. However, before deciding on your career, be sure to consider the nature of the job which may involve working long or odd hours in remote locations away from family for extended periods.
Tips for finding a mining job:
1. Do your homework and build a network aimed towards helping you secure a job in mining.
2. Speak to as many people as possible who work in mining to get a real feel for what the industry is really like to see whether it suits you.
3. Try not to be too blinded by the promise of huge salaries. You must first build experience and gain the right qualifications.
4. Work towards setting clear and achievable goals as a motivation for what can be a physically and mentally challenging industry.*********************************************************************
