If its 60 I think I'll be long gone from mining. Younger, possibly.SDP, that's one thing I've noticed with thiess job ads, a lot of them ask for experience. Haven't seen a store man job listed as yet but that's the kind of job I had in mind awhile ago to get the foot in and then transfer from there etc. I'm on your wavelength as far as specialising in one particular job. I don't want that as I'll be limited (in my mind anyway) to a job or a couple jobs. I want to constantly branch out and aim for the top pretty much. Always want to go bigger and onto better things. It'll take time but everything does!Lol I've seen you say something similar to that before Ralph. Edited 19/05/12 11:39 AM by Shyfrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFO won't be a problem for me. Was originally just set on WA but I'm thinking now anywhere will do. Can't be too fussy when starting out lol. I'll have to look that group up too. Thanks for posting them Sounds like they take on most people, even with no exp which is great It'd be a career in the long run but as I said first stint would be for a few yrs then travel for a little and rip back into it :DLol Whitsundays just at your doorstep pretty much would be awesome hahaWhat would say is moving? Living there onsite full time? Like no fly out, or something else? I have found out that the cost of living not onsite is just ridiculous..stupid money for a room in a proper house. Will still look them up nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
