Frequently Asked Questions
No one can guarantee you’ll get hired but we give you the best possible shot. We focus on helping your resume get seen, helping you get shortlisted, and helping you get through to an interview. After that, it’s up to you.
Once we’ve done our part, you’ve got to do yours. You need to be applying consistently. You need to follow up. We can’t sit an interview for you, we can’t pass a medical for you, and we can’t chase down recruiters on your behalf. We build the tools that give you the strongest possible chance but you still need to show up and use them.
This is your opportunity we’re here to help you grab it with both hands.
Absolutely. In fact, the majority of our clients are first-timers just like you. FIFO is a whole different world, and breaking in can feel overwhelming but that’s exactly what we specialise in.
You don’t need previous FIFO experience to get started. What you do need is the right resume, the right role targeting, and the right approach. We help people every single day who are coming from construction, retail, hospitality, admin, logistics, parenting, you name it and we build out resumes that highlight transferable skills, safety awareness, and readiness for site life.
If you're ready to work hard, follow the process, and apply smartly, then yes, this is absolutely for you.
What makes our resumes different? Simple, we don’t write generic resumes. We write mining and FIFO-specific, ATS-certified resumes that are designed to get noticed and get results.
Unlike traditional resume writers, we’ve actually worked FIFO jobs ourselves. We know the lifestyle, we know the site culture, and we know exactly what recruiters are scanning for in those first 10 seconds. Most resume writers don’t understand how mining companies recruit, how sites operate, or what entry-level applicants really need to say to stand out. We do.
On top of that, our resumes are built to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) the digital gatekeepers that reject over 75% of applications before a human even sees them. We load your resume with the correct keywords, structure, and safety-heavy content that mining recruiters are filtering for. We don’t just make it “look good”, we make it work.
Every single document is tailored to FIFO roles, especially underground and entry-level positions, where competition is fierce and the margin for error is tiny. We don’t just polish your experience we position it strategically so that your resume lands in the ‘yes’ pile. This is what we do all day, every day and it works.
An ATS or Applicant Tracking System is software used by almost every FIFO, mining, and recruitment company in Australia to screen and filter resumes before they ever reach a human. It’s the first line of defence for recruiters who receive hundreds (sometimes thousands) of applications per role.
Here’s the kicker if your resume isn’t formatted correctly, or doesn’t contain the right keywords, it gets automatically rejected. No one reads it. No one calls you. It goes straight to the bin without ever being seen.
That’s why it matters. You could be perfect for the job qualified, motivated, and ready to go but if your resume isn’t ATS-compliant, the system will never let it through. That’s where we come in. We build resumes specifically designed to pass ATS filters, get noticed by real recruiters, and give you the best possible shot at getting shortlisted.
Our standard turnaround time is 5 to 7 business days. If you’re on a tight deadline or need it sooner, just let us know we can usually fast-track it for you for a small priority fee. We’ll always do our best to work around your timeframe and get you job-ready as quickly as possible.
Yes, and here’s why it matters. Most FIFO and mining roles will ask for both as part of the application process. While your resume lays out the facts, your cover letter is your chance to show personality, professionalism, and genuine interest in the role.
A well-written cover letter tells employers you’re serious, not just spraying out the same resume to every job on SEEK. It helps you stand out from the copy-paste crowd and gives context to your experience, especially if you’re new to FIFO or changing industries. It can be the difference between getting shortlisted or getting skipped.
Perfect — that’s exactly where we come in. If you’re already in the game but aiming to move into higher-paying, more specialised, or more stable FIFO roles, we’ll help you take that next step.
We do more than just update your resume, we strategically reframe your experience to highlight leadership, compliance, machinery operation, safety performance, or underground exposure (whatever aligns with the roles you're targeting). Whether you’re chasing a move from utility to truck operating, service crew to shift boss, or simply looking to land with a better company, we’ll position your application to stand out and get noticed.
Absolutely. We’ve helped hundreds of international applicants make the leap into the Australian FIFO industry and we know exactly how to position your experience to match what local recruiters are looking for.
We’ll guide you on how to translate your skills into Australian mining language, ensure your resume is ATS-compliant for local systems, and help you understand what roles you’re actually eligible for. We also provide honest advice about visa requirements, relocation realities, and how to give yourself the best possible shot from overseas.
If you’re serious about getting into FIFO from abroad, we’ll give you the tools to get started the right way.
Every package includes a professionally written, custom-built FIFO resume and a tailored cover letter, designed specifically for the mining and FIFO industry. Your documents are fully ATS-compliant, meaning they’re formatted to pass through recruitment software and actually get seen.
We also include industry-specific wording, keyword targeting, and formatting that aligns with what FIFO employers and labour hire companies are actively looking for. Plus, you’ll get revisions included to make sure everything’s spot on before you start applying.
No fluff, just powerful, job-ready documents that give you the best possible shot at breaking into or stepping up in the FIFO world.
If you’re unsure, book a free consult. We’ll take a look at your goals and recommend the best option to help you move forward.
