Updating your resume can feel overwhelming, especially if you work in mining.

 

You’re already working 12-hour days and juggling demanding rosters and family life. Many of my clients reach out to me not just because they need a new job, but because they know they need to update their resume, and they have no idea where to begin:

 

• They don’t know what to include or leave out.
• They feel confused about things like ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) and choosing the correct format.
• Some want their resume tailored to a specific job of interest.
• Others are working with outdated resumes they no longer like.
• Others simply don’t have the time or energy to update their resumes themselves.

 

Mining resumes, like the industry itself, continue to evolve.

 

You could spend hours online researching trends, ATS requirements, and templates, but that takes time, and I know your spare time is limited. When you’re on break, the last thing you want to do is spend hours researching and DIY-ing a resume. That’s where a professional Resume Writer comes in. But how do you know you’re hiring the right one?

 

When choosing a Resume Writer, you want someone who understands your industry and the associated careers. Before committing to a Resume Writer, it’s important to do your research and make sure they’re someone you feel comfortable working with.

 

Here’s some tips to help you choose a Resume Writer you feel comfortable with:

 

• Check out their website – do they specialise in your industry or write for everyone in all industries, at all levels?
• Look at their social media – are they active and posting relevant content that resonates with you?
• Ask questions – do they outsource their work, or is everything handled in-house? What’s their process? Will you have direct access to your Resume Writer?
• Get in touch – an email, website enquiry, or phone call can help you gauge their approach and see if you vibe with them.

 

A professional Resume Writer won’t just expect you to fill in a questionnaire and then hand you back your updated documents. They’ll work with you to uncover the details that make your resume one that Recruiters and Hiring Managers want to read.

 

Updating your resume should be a collaborative process. It’s your resume and your career, so you need to be happy with how your career is represented on paper.

 

Here’s some info about me and how I can help:

 

• Ex-recruiter for mining roles – I know what Recruiters and Hiring Managers are looking for. I know how to read a resume.
• Industry exposure – I’ve worked with mining, building, construction, and oil and gas employees.
• Pilbara life – I’ve lived and worked in the Pilbara.
• FIFO family – We are a FIFO family. My personal experience helps me understand the challenges of working long hours, and the shitty Wi-Fi.

 

Your mining resume is more than a list of jobs. It’s the tool that will get you to the interview stage.

 

I don’t just write mining resumes. I collaborate with you to build a document that truly represents your skills, experience, and the value you can bring to the next company. I am more than happy to have a chat and check out your resume before you commit to anything. This step helps me understand your needs and ensures we’re a good fit before anything is booked. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: info@rubyresumes.com.au or give me a buzz.

 

Cheers to your mining career,
