6ft :) 🤙🏾

Hey Randy, thanks for reaching out! Yeah, it’s one the hardest jobs I’ve done. Both physically & mentally challenging. Also I was doing 12 hour shifts near Norseman so sometimes weather be cold & wet. Got rained off a few times. Ive seen some people stick at it, not for me though. Hope this helps 🤙🏾 (:

Such a nice play ay! 🤩🙏🏽 Thanks for ya comment Jasmine (:

Hey Lucien, ah thanks so much! Glad you like it. When I applied for fifo, I needed a residential Perth address so for majority you need to be onshore based here. Also for sponsor from what I’ve been told from visa agents you need a certain level of experience. In my current industry (hospitality) I need 3 years. Not too sure on the mining front but it was really hard to get my foot in the door as entry level. Hope this helps 🤙🏾

Hey Amit, ah thanks so much! Glad you liked it 🙏🏽☺️

Hey Paulius, it’s great to hear from ya mate! Thanks for your nice comment, super glad it helped you pursue your goals 🙌🏽✨ Nice one, congrats on getting the visa sorted 🎉🇦🇺 Yeah sure, I could jump on a WhatsApp call, drop us an email with all your details bud & we’ll arrange a time/date E: [email protected] Thanks Paulius 🙏🏽

Hey Benny, great stuff - thank you! Sent you an email.

@@BenjaminHardingx hey Benny, just wondering if you received my email ok! Cheers my friend

Hey Rijd, ah nice! (: I’ve been reading Jay Shettys “Think Like A Monk “ at the moment, SO Good! 🙌🏽 thanks for the recommendation 🤙🏾 I’ll check it out.

Hey Mohamed, thanks for reaching out! (: when I was last up there, there was a lot of labour work going on. For Entry level labouring jobs you just need a white card. Get that sorted online & then apply for labour jobs. Alternatively, the Darwin town was fairly busy when I was there, could get a job in hospitality as glass collector/dishy. You need RSA for glassy which is cheap & easy to get. Hope this helps mate, All the best 🇦🇺🤙🏾

Ahh thanks Zoe 🙏🏽 no worries (:

Hey Owen, thanks for reaching out mate! 🙏🏽 yeah I reckon so. Going into mining for me I only had the construction background with labouring (so very limiting for jobs to apply for) The more experience & qualified the better, are you certs from aus? Would your qualifications be recognised in WA? That be good to find out - hope this helps & all the best with the search! (:

Hey A S, ah thanks so much! ☺️🙏🏽 glad to hear it helped. Ah nice one. Yeah it definitely did (: I need more managerial experience for my nominated employer sponsor (need 2 years) so getting the approved managers certainly helped with that 💯🙌🏽

Ah thanks Allan 🙏🏽☺️ means a lot! (:

Hey Robin, thanks for reaching out! 🙏🏽 Here’s a step by step plan on what to do if you want to get into the mines: 1. Get the visa granted from home affairs website (Working Holiday Visa easy to apply for) 2. Book flights & insurance 3. Find accommodation in Perth (use fb marketplace/flatmates Aus & message those that meet your budget/requirements - research early as much as possible. Hostels and air bnb’s are pricey (depends on your budget though) Share houses - short term & long term rentals I’ve found to be cheaper 4. When you arrive sort out your phone number (Telstra shop) driving licence (Department Of Transport) & Medicare (Medicare facility) Also you’ll need a residential address for your WA Driving licence. 5. Then your qualifications/certs: As a minimum on the mines I got the following: - White card (occupational health & safety construction card, recognised regionally - apply online) - First aid (do it with St. John’s, book online) - Working at heights (book online) Those 3 are the cheapest for entry requirements. The HR Licence is also desired by most mine sites, this costs over 1k+ though. 6. Apply for jobs consistently online, through seek jobs, jora local, indeed, direct on mining websites. (Have your CV/Resume updated & ready to send employers - you’ll also need a WA residential address & aussi phone number on there too) 7. Network & socialise with other fifo workers when you get here to learn more about the industry/getting your foot in the door. As you can tell, there’s a few things to sort upfront but that’s a time & money investment to gain a decent fifo job that alot of people desire. Alternatively go work in other industries for few months & then take a break to travel. Research all your options & choose what best suits you (: Hope all this info helps mate, any other questions, give me a shout! All the best 🙏🏽🇦🇺 Benny

@@BenjaminHardingx THANK YOU SO MUCH, honestly thank you for such a detailed answer especially so fast. Hope your ytb Journey goes well ! Robin.

@@robinguerin4511 no worries at all mate! ☺️🙏🏽 thanks bud (:

Hey A S, ahh thanks so much for those kind words & for following along the journey 🙏🏽☺️ I’m super glad you’ve enjoyed them. Looking forward to making more for you all 🙌🏽🎉

Ah thanks so much Paulius 😆🙏🏽

Hey Alfie, ah thanks so much mate 🙏🏽☺️that means a lot. That sounds awesome, wishing you the best with your journey (:

Ah thanks so much Joe 🙏🏽☺️ appreciate your support mate (:

Hey Ed, unfortunately not! It is on my travel list though 🙏🏽🤩

Ahh yes! Such a good one 🙏🏽🤩 thanks for your comment (:

Ah thanks Janet 🙏🏽☺️

Hey mate, thanks for reaching out! Only just seen this 😅 I was on $30 p/hr (35 with HR). Isn’t the best amount but my options were limited at the time, hope this helps 🤙🏾

@BenjaminHardingx ah I'm already in mining man , I'm a diesel fitter ,I do 6 week swings ,I'm a contractor for a major company ,In newman as we speak , I was just been nosey

Hey Muhammad, thanks for your comment! Only just seen this 😅 I had my white card but also needed first aid, working at heights and to get my HR licence. That was bare minimum for the offsider job, hope this helps (:

Hey Gary, thanks for reaching out! 🙏🏽 super glad that you enjoyed it mate ☺️ Nice to know we have a few things in common too 🤙🏾 Definitely, I find Perth to be alot more laid back than all the other places I’ve lived in. There’s tons of community for sport & fitness (my work plays every Monday at the Astro turf in multiple games). All the fitness classes & gyms are busy & thriving. I’ve been to 4 gyms in the last few months & all social & impactful as an healthy environment for growth. My favourite gyms are REVO Fitness. It’s a chain and they’re all over Perth 🙌🏽 As for the construction background, there’s so many developments happening with residential builds & beyond. Eg. In between burns beach & Mindarie. I haven’t worked in construction here though. Personally I’ve found Perth to be a place where it’s about who you know, not so much what you know. Most of my opportunities with work, accom & lifestyle events have happened due to knowing the right people. (Those that can help with your goals) If you can get PR straight out the gate and be eligible to get it lodged asap then that’s a god send 💯🙌🏽 Processing times for visas here are SOO LONG. Ah Bristol, I’ve been there a few times when I’m back in the UK. My best mate lives there. Cool. Hope all this helps Gary, any other questions, lmk! 🤙🏾 All the best bud, Benny

Ah thanks Lyall 🙏🏽☺️

Hey Ashley, thanks for reaching out! Most my accommodation have been share houses. I found mine through fb marketplace, flatmates and word of mouth through my work. My last 2 houses were through my work colleagues so that’s why they were cheaper. For 200 a week Ive got private room, shared bathroom, parking space, close to shops & gym. I have my car too so this creates flexibility with where to stay. If you’re going to be relying on public transport I’ve seen some cheaper share house rentals in the city, easier to get around & network at same time if you want to save for car/upgrade accom. Hope this helps bud 🙏🏽☺️ Any other questions, give me shout (:

Hello A S, thanks for your comment! No worries at all 🙏🏽 glad you enjoyed it (: Not easy, it’s currently being processed at the moment, a lot of paperwork that takes time! My employer has a migration agent that sorts the nomination & I have my own migration agent to do the applications for me. They’re the pros & can make the process easier. This has also cost me fair bit money so get those savings built up 🙌🏽 id say make sure you pick an employer that you feel comfortable to collaborate with & see with long term too. Hope this helps! 🙏🏽 when it’s sorted I try do a video on it (:

Thank you for your reply :). It is interesting to know your experience with getting your employer to sponsor you. It would be great if you could do a video on this to share your experience. I also wanted to ask, how did you manage to get your employer to sponsor you, as I hear it is difficult for employers to sponsor working holiday visa candidates? I will be moving to Perth on a Working Holiday Visa in a few months, so excited to see and explore Perth and WA!

Ah thank you Daze134 🙏🏽☺️

What a wonderful comment to wake you up to! 🙏🏽😆 thank you so much Kumar! Glad you enjoyed it (:

Hey Daireb123, thanks for reaching out! It did take a few weeks yeah. I signed up with 2-3 agencies when I arrived. 1. Core staff 2. Protech 3. Red Appointments agency I found my labouring job. Worked on casual basis & just did as many hours as they would give me. Yeah the whole of NT is considered regional & goes towards the 88 days. I don’t think you have to do it after JULY though? Double check that on home affairs website. Hope this helps & all the best 🤙🏾😆

@@BenjaminHardingx thanks for the quick reply. I'll look into those agencies. So if I can only get casual hours too how does it work? I know weekends don't count towards the 88 days unless you're full time, so is it one day for every 7.5 hours worked? I'm Irish so still got to do the days unfortunately...

@@BenjaminHardingx and what tickets did you need for the labouring?

@@daireb123 hey mate, so when I was doing it I’d work casual for 5 days from Monday to Friday, that working week I’d get more than 38+ hours so that counted as 7 days of the 88. My workplace was giving me 10 hours a day too so I was generating good money with casual rate & overtime. When I was there I saw a lot of expansion in the NT suburbs. The above was my agent, but the employer I worked for was Ostojic Civil Construction, they’re huge up there 🙌🏽 I’d say start with Red Appointments & see if Amanda is still working there, she was awesome & got me setup super fast (: hope this helps bud!

@@daireb123 just needed the white card (:

Hey Jorgerm20, ah that’s no worries! ☺️🙏🏽 glad you enjoyed it (: The course cost me $239 Plus the fee for the card which I paid at the post office. Here’s who I did the course with: www.ahawa.asn.au/training/approved-managers-course-mlp1/ Hope this helps 🤙🏾

Ah thank you ☺️ 🙏🏽 sounds good 👌🏾
