Fictional candidate, employment and qualifications for illustration. This shows the simple single-column structure of our downloads; exact spacing and page breaks vary. Your resume uses your own experience and qualifications.

What to make easy to find

Most people aren’t rejected because they’re unqualified — they’re rejected because the resume isn’t structured for screening. This example shows what scan-friendly looks like.

Tickets/licences buried or unclear.
Bullets are long task lists (not recruiter-scan friendly).
No clear FIFO readiness / safety signals.
Generic wording that doesn’t match the role.

What recruiters scan first

The role you are applying for, clearly separated from the jobs you have already held.
Practical evidence from your work history: cleaning routines, stock handling, tools, meal service or supporting a team, where genuinely relevant.
Your current location, any real relocation plan, and the availability you can actually commit to.
Qualifications you hold and details the vacancy asks you to confirm. Requirements vary between employers and roles.

What transfers from hospitality

For utility or kitchen-support vacancies, describe cleaning schedules, dishwashing, restocking and busy meal services you have worked. Show how you followed hygiene procedures or handed work over to the next shift.

Example wording: Cleared and reset tables, restocked service supplies and followed cleaning procedures during busy meal periods. Use this only if it reflects your work; it does not establish mine-site or camp experience.

What transfers from warehouse work

For stores or labouring vacancies, describe checking deliveries, picking orders, moving materials and keeping work areas clear. Name equipment only if you have actually used it and distinguish experience from licences.

Example wording: Checked incoming cartons against delivery paperwork, reported discrepancies and kept picking areas clear. Do not add forklift operation or a forklift licence unless supported by your own background.

What transfers from construction

For labouring, trades-assistant or entry-level offsider vacancies, show materials handling, site preparation, tool use and work completed under a supervisor's instructions.

Example wording: Carried materials, prepared work areas and used hand tools under supervisor direction. Construction work can be relevant without being described as drilling, rig maintenance or mining experience.

What to confirm in each job ad

Read the essential requirements first. Check the location or departure point, the roster, working-rights requirements and any specified licence class or restrictions. A planned move is different from already residing in the required location.

Check whether the vacancy asks for a police clearance, medical assessment, drug and alcohol screening, particular tickets or supporting documents. These are checks against that vacancy, not a universal list for every FIFO role.

List held qualifications accurately. Keep booked courses, planned tickets and willingness to obtain a licence separate from qualifications already held. Do not assume a driver's licence meets a specified class or restriction requirement.

A simple resume structure

Target role: use the vacancy title as a role you are seeking. In employment history, keep your real previous job titles and employers.

Summary: briefly connect your actual work to the vacancy. Key Skills: include specific tasks supported by that work. Tickets & Licences: list only held qualifications. Employment History: include dates and clear examples of your responsibilities.

The fictional example shows a warehouse assistant seeking FIFO work. It does not claim a previous FIFO job, mining experience or an equipment licence the candidate does not hold.

Common mistakes

Renaming a previous job as a FIFO role you have never held.
Copying drilling, machinery or camp duties from the vacancy into your work history.
Claiming unrestricted licences, clearances or qualifications that have not been established.
Listing the job's location as your current residence when you are only planning a move.
Using every example on this page instead of selecting tasks you have actually done.

FAQs

Can I apply without mining experience?

Look for vacancies that explicitly accept entry-level applicants and check their essential requirements. Present relevant work from your own background; an entry-level label does not mean every applicant meets every requirement.

Which tickets do I need before applying?

There is no single list on this page that fits every role. Check the specific vacancy for required qualifications and distinguish essential items from those described as desirable. Do not list a ticket as held because it appears in a job ad.

How should I describe relocating?

Keep your current location accurate. If you have a genuine relocation plan, describe it separately and include a date only if you can commit to it. Check whether the employer requires you to reside locally before applying.

Should I say I am available for any roster?

Only if that is true. State the availability you can support and check that it matches the vacancy.
