Why GetFIFOReady exists

Built by someone who actually works FIFO.

GetFIFOReady wasn't created by a resume company or a career coach who's never set foot on a site. It was built by an underground haulage worker who actually works on site and understands the expectations of site work through lived experience.

A resume or application can be one factor alongside role requirements, competition, timing, location and work rights. GetFIFOReady helps applicants improve the parts they can control: targeting, evidence, ticket decisions and follow-through.

Practical worker-side guidance from someone currently on site—without pretending to speak for employers or recruiters.

The reality

Breaking into FIFO is harder than it should be.

迷

It's confusing

Different roles, different tickets, different pathways. Most beginners don't know where to start.

📄

Generic resumes blur the fit

A generic resume can hide safety, reliability and shift-work evidence that may be relevant to the advertised role.

🤷

Relevant evidence is easy to bury

Safety examples, shift readiness, reliable transport and current tickets should be clear when they match the ad.

📉

Transferable evidence gets buried

Real experience can disappear under generic summaries instead of showing duties, conditions, procedures and results.

Help us prove what is actually useful

Join the first free guided applicant journey.

We are inviting up to 10 applicants to work through the free pathway over 30 days. The goal is not to promise jobs. It is to learn where people get stuck, help them apply more deliberately and measure genuine progress.

  • Use the free role guides, checker and tracker
  • Receive two short progress check-ins
  • Share honest feedback about what helped and what did not
  • No payment and no obligation to buy anything

Places are reviewed manually so this stays manageable around FIFO work. Joining does not guarantee selection or a job outcome.

Questions?

Frequently asked questions.

GetFIFOReady is built specifically for Australian FIFO and mining roles, but the principles apply to shutdown work, construction, and mining support roles too. If you're applying for site-based work in Australia, we can help.

Yes. That's exactly who GetFIFOReady is built for. We help you translate your existing experience — hospitality, labouring, warehouse, farming, civil, trades — into language that mining recruiters respect.

Generic resume tools are not designed around Australian mining roles, site-readiness signals or the practical requirements in individual job ads. GetFIFOReady adds a current worker-side perspective without claiming to represent recruiters or employers.

The answers entered into the free checker are processed in your browser and are not submitted to GetFIFOReady. Netlify hosting and Google advertising technology may still process technical and usage data. If you request a review, redact private details before sending resume content.

GetFIFOReady is operated by PJ Adami, an underground haulage worker and Emergency Response Team member in Queensland. His perspective is worker-side, not recruitment or HR. Read the full story →

Yes. The resume positioning, safety language, and application strategy apply to shutdowns, construction, and mining support roles. The core principles are the same — show you're safe, reliable, and ready for site conditions.

This is for you if:

  • You've applied to FIFO/mining jobs and got silence.
  • You're unsure if your resume looks site-ready.
  • You don't know which entry roles are realistic.

You get:

  • Your likely no-replies bottleneck.
  • 2-3 realistic role pathways.
  • Resume top-section notes.
  • Ticket/licence reality check.
  • Search terms and next applications to target.

Workflow: submit first. If the review is suitable, we'll send the AUD $49 payment link and next step. If it is outside scope, we'll tell you instead of taking money.
