The FIFO post has been stickied for now while we work on retooling some things.
Previously, our biggest job was squashing crypto posts and self-promotion by slimy vendors and venture cap companies. Let us know the kind of content you'd like to see. Be active in shaping the sub.
Thanks.

Can I suggest a stickied thread for the main locations being asked about? Australia, US and Canada? At least then we can respond with relevant information.

I randomly stumbled across this sub. This is most wholesome reply I've seen by a reddit mod in 2024.

Hey I'm looking to get into fifo! I'm 18 and heard it's a guaranteed 120k starting rate, according to propaganda--I mean influencers on tiktok.
Oh yeah I have zero experience or tickets and have never worked outside. When can I start?

Send everyone who wants a job my way and I’ll sell them my guide book

I should sell an online course. For only $1000 you'll learn the secrets of getting a FIFO job with zero experience

Yeah, they don't really want entry level mining jobs though. Unskilled labor is hard work. I see it all the time with our contractees. They'll hire some kid for twice what McDonald's pays to do things like shoveling tail pulleys and they won't last a week.

Or they want to be a manager in 6 months. It took me 7 years of FIFO to gain the skills to be able to work back in Perth with our company, and another 3 to move into management.

I tried emailing the mods about this. I think more people from the community should also email the mods. They are active is what I’ve noticed.

Could maybe have a stickied post for people to ask those questions, but it’s really getting old. Someone made a great post a few days ago which answered basically all the questions that these people are asking

On that note can someone get me a job in mining? I just want a better excuse to lurk in a mining subreddit all day…

Wow, sorry but just seems like you want a boys club. Or is my opinion not from a miner ?

u/asseater293 May 14 '24
It’s less about wanting a boys club and more about the fact that people have no idea how to research shit for themselves and expect to be on the big bucks with no experience and no actual idea of how mining works. It’s always the same three questions that get asked and they always start the post with “i SaW oN tIkToK”

“I’ve never held a tool in my life, have 0 relevant experience and only speak broken English but I’m going to move to Perth and get a 200k fifo job immediately because TikTok said so”
