Shy you don't have to answer the salary question.

[Shyfrd]

Yeh I realise but I reckon if you get to interview they'll ask then. Ah well, can't change it now :D haha

Thanks mate. One question I found a little sneaky by them lol, asking what my expectation of the salary is. If I say too low, I might be offered that if successful..if I go too high, I might look too greedy and be rejected. Lol clever dicks..

it was optional, I still answered it.

hard one to answer as u dont know if its based on the training rate or once you go casual or perm?

I put 100-120k lol

[Shyfrd]

Yeh I put $100k p.a lol

[bossmang]

that makes me cry when I see those pay packets

I have a lot of friends that have worked at Ernest henry in jobs from truck operators to supervisors.

For the traineeship you wil have to move to Cloncurry. This will be at your own expense.

After training you will be on the hotseat crew, work the trucks while others have crib(lunch/break).

Money for a permanent truckie full time is around 90k, super on top. FIFO is to Townsville and Brisbane. Looking at 2yrs+ to get onto FIFO.

Shame about Carborough Downs and Vale though' it's been kept relatively quiet from the media, but talk is a $700 000 000 loss...

I hate that fkn question, soooo awkward.!!!

Shy you don't have to answer the salary question.

If I ever have to answer that, it's always an evasive answer like "I will evaluate my expectations of a complete salary package after confirming super, leave, entitlements, etc." Normally there's at least something they haven't mentioned in the ad so you can make it sound like they'll have to give you an interview so you can ask them, lol.

Renumeration isnt realy a question for trainee roles anyway. Its generaly for experienced people changing jobs. They want to know what they can get your skills and experience for.
