once you get a start learn everything that they are willing to teach you. show up everyday and offer to do the **** jobs. pays off in the end.
im on 32 an hour in mine warehouse with labour hire company but have interview to become permanent trainee for pit i work at.. good references from superintendant and supervisor helps.

oh ive got plenty of moola , i hardly spend at all. Ive just recently got my Forklift tickt and on the Logbook hours for the Gantry crane. whilst doing Labour work (hard) and I do enjoy the Job im currently in , its just that its one of those Jobs you do the same thing over and over again. :/

Its time for a change , and the money is borderline between the amount of work we do, and think theyre rippin us blokes off. - everyone thinks about that whatever Job theyre in- but not so in the mines , like 32 p/hr is more like the rate Im talkin about!
