What Sets a Mining Resume Apart from a Regular Resume?

 

A Resume Isn’t Just a Resume – Especially in Mining

If you’ve ever thought, “A resume is a resume,” you’re not alone. But in mining, that assumption could cost you interviews. 

Mining Recruiters are under the pump with applications and will scan your resume for site-readiness, qualifications, skills, and safety compliance – and if it’s not clear within the first few seconds whether you fit the role, your resume might be put into the “no thanks” pile. Recruiters can only work with the information they’re given.

What Makes a Mining Resume Different?

Site-Readiness Upfront

• List inductions, tickets, training, and specific qualifications on the first page if they’re important for the role. The mining companies want to know that you’re right for the role and you’re ready to go.

Clear, Easy-to-Read Format

• Forget fancy graphics, tables, columns, and squeezing information onto one page. Use a clean, simple format that’s easy to read when printed and on the computer screen.

Role- Relevant Language

• Mention the equipment you’ve worked on, the process improvement methodologies you’ve utilised, the safety work procedures you’re familiar with. Being specific will set you apart from the more general resumes.
