New Starter Flowchart This questionaire is designed to help you enter, or progress into the mining industry. At any time, you can go back and answer an earlier question to see where the path takes you. Do you currently have a job in the mines? No, I want to get a job in the mines Yes, I Have a job already Have you got any experience on heavy equipment or have you worked in a Civil Construction environment, Coal Mine, Metal Mine, Quarry Site, Heavy Industry? No Yes Without previous experience it may be difficult to get into the mining industry, so you need to be aware of that before proceeding. With the amount of positions that the Queensland State Government advertise that are being created in the next couple of years new starters are certainly getting a chance but it may take 6 months of continually applying for everything you come across. Also you should always be wary of someone that tells you that as soon as you have done this course you will have a job, just like everything else in life - If it is too good to be true it is usually isn't true. Have you done any training to get into the mining industry before? This may include:   MI Skills GI Card Mines Ready course No Yes
