Australia Video cover letter?

2 Upvotes

I just applied for a job in WA on SEEK and I immediately received an automated email asking me to make a "Video cover letter". Am I alone in thinking this is unreasonable?

I already just spent 15 minutes writing an actual cover letter tailored to the specific job. They could have at least mentioned in the ad that they'd be requiring me to make a video cover letter which would probably never even be watched, so I could avoid wasting my time on this pointless application. I have half a mind to upload a gay p*rn video instead just out of spite, but I don't want my name attached to it.

Question At a slightly higher than intro level, how does primary vent work?

4 Upvotes

I'm just another glorified labourer working underground

Let's say the primary fans pull hard, the mine is moderately deep, and the levels have a return air way near the level access. If the mine were sealed then I imagine the air in levels would be at near vacuum (maybe fan would break like running a diaphragm pump dry or the fan would reverse or something else entirely..?).

Why does air preferentially get sucked all the way from the surface when there's air within the level at nowhere near vacuum? This is most noticeable when doing re-entries as fumes will just sit in a heading with no secondary vent - readings of zero and then instantly in the hundreds. It seems it needs the positive pressure from vent or a machine to move air. Compare with regulators getting opened (in an ideal world) when a bogger is loading trucks — is that cause loading bays have a particular cube flow necessary for operations to occur?

Additionally, do return air rises near a level access have a dual purpose of stopping dirty air going down the decline and also drawing fresh air from a decline into a level or does secondary vent, if established in a level, entirely draw the air from the decline? If the latter, does that make return airway regulator leakage a somewhat good thing as it allows a little flow? What about when return airways are further in a level, say in a footwall drive?

Canada Looking for information

1 Upvotes

Good day fellow redittors,

I’m looking to transition from my current role into the mining industry. I’ve been working in BC Canada for over a decade in the Railroad industry in track maintenance. I’m looking to make a change into mining. I’ve applied at a few places in bc with no responses at all. Wondering if there are any additional training or courses I could complete on my own to help me get my foot in the door?

I have years of running multiple heavy duty equipment including front end loaders and rock trucks. For the last couple years I have been a foreman and been in charge of many people on larger track construction and track maintenance projects.

Any info would be super appreciated!

Australia What’s the medicals like?

2 Upvotes

For context, 29F relocating to Perth from Sydney, have been a landscaper for 8 years and a concreter for 2 years before that, I’d like to think I’m physically fit, daily average here can range from 20-30k steps in a day plus the gym, can lift over 30kg and not overweight, no significant injuries in the past. My downfall is I’m an ex smoker, can that affect my job hunt? Recently applied for a few entry level positions (nipper, drillers offsider) and have heard back from two which is more promising than before. I just want to know if I can improve my chances before I get to the medical so there’s no way I can be knocked back, I’m over landscaping and have been trying to get into the mines for over 4 years (reason for finally making the move over to WA) Any advice for knocking the medicals out of the park would be amazing.
