Find out why the mining and natural resources industry in Australia is so attractive for jobseekers
Posted: 7/04/2014 5:00:00 AM by Mining Oil and Gas Jobs

________________________________________


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.

Networking: 4 grassroots tips for making contact
Posted: 16/01/2015 5:00:00 AM by Mining Oil and Gas Jobs
Filed under: Diversity, Job-seekers, Mining, Career-resources

________________________________________


As a jobseeker with little industry contact, hearing the phrase ‘it is not what you know, it is who you know’ can seem redundant and even disparaging. Contrary to popular belief, building strong industry networks is not about having friends in high places, but rather surrounding yourself with the right people and knowledge required to give you the best chance of securing a new job.

Here are four simple tips on how to use networking to build your industry knowledge, expertise and most importantly, your presence in the job market.

1. Ask friends and family
The rule of six degrees of separation means you almost definitely know someone who knows someone who is looking for a new employee. Remember, the candidate who comes personally recommended is usually the most outstanding.Hold no bars in asking around. Even if your peers don’t know of any jobs, they might know of the right Human Resources contacts.

2. Get to know the job
Reading the job advertisement is one thing, but reading about the job is another. By learning about the role you are applying for, you are doing yourself two favours. Not only will you be qualifying yourself to better answer questions during the interview process, but you may also wind up on the trail of experienced people with valuable advice, or even the industry connections you need.

3. Get to know the industry
Learning about the industry and the company in which you want to work is another favour you should afford yourself. The company website is a great place to start, but LinkedIn offers a wealth of up-to-date movements in the industry sphere where new developments, news and job opportunities are posted. Being an active participant in those conversations can get your name on the plate and give you the boost you need, but make sure you read our tips here on how to get it right.

4. Go where the industry goes
Employers attend job fairs and so should you, but do your best to take advantage of the opportunity they are giving you. When you take a pamphlet, stop and chat to the representatives. Ask their names, what their role is and if they like working for the company. In an exhibition filled with pamphlet-collectors, the small talker will be the one that stands out.
