Getting your first job in mining is tough. Between trying to figure out which certificates you need and dealing with job ads that demand "experience," it can feel impossible to get your foot in the door.
We started r/MiningRookies to fix that.
Our mission is simple: To help you land your very first job in the mining industry, no matter your background.
🎯 What We Are All About
• No "Dumb" Questions: Traditional mining forums can be rough on beginners. Here, you can ask anything without being judged. Want to know about camp life, shift work, or what a certain job actually does? Just ask.
• 100% Free Advice: A lot of scams out there charge money to "fix your resume" or "guarantee" you a mining job. Our mission is to keep this community completely free. You get real advice from real people for zero dollars.
• Help From Real Pros: We bring together total beginners and experienced mining veterans. Whether you want to work in Australia, Canada, or anywhere else, you can get advice from people who have actually done the job.
