Underground Haulage & Emergency Response Team
Queensland
GetFIFOReady is operated by PJ Adami, an underground haulage worker and Emergency Response Team member in Queensland. His experience is worker-side, not recruitment or HR.
Real FIFO experience. Real advice. No corporate spin.
I work FIFO at a Queensland underground mine. Haulage during my shift work, and I'm on the Emergency Response Team — the crew that trains for the worst-case scenarios on site. My roster is 7-on/7-off, Thursday to Thursday, alternating between day shift and night shift. That's my actual working life.
I built GetFIFOReady after seeing capable people struggle to turn non-mining experience into a clear, targeted FIFO application.
A resume or application may be one factor alongside role requirements, competition, timing, location and work rights. GetFIFOReady helps applicants improve the parts they can control.
I know what site work demands because I live it: safety discipline, reliability, clear communication, fatigue management and following procedure. GetFIFOReady applies that worker-side perspective to help applicants present relevant evidence clearly—without pretending to speak for recruiters or employers.
Outside of work, I’m a family man and enjoy surfing, playing golf and keeping fit. FIFO has its trade-offs and being away isn’t always easy, but one of the reasons I value the lifestyle is the solid blocks of time it gives me at home.
When I’m off, I can be properly present with my family and still have time for the things I enjoy. That balance is a big part of why I’ve stayed in the industry. I know a lot of people aren’t chasing FIFO purely for the pay. They’re hoping it can help them build a better life outside work too.
GetFIFOReady is straightforward guidance from current site experience, aimed at helping applicants present relevant evidence clearly without promising hiring outcomes.
From your first application to your next roster — straightforward guidance that makes you look like someone who belongs on site.
Present genuine safety, reliability, shift-work and transferable experience clearly for one target role.
Stop applying for "anything FIFO." Identify realistic entry pathways based on your actual background — utility, TA, operator, offsider, trade support.
Don't waste money on tickets no ad asks for. Check real job listings first and only spend on what actually matters for your target role.
Already applied and heard nothing? Receive worker-side observations about likely gaps and practical next steps.
Prepare for common FIFO interview themes and practise honest examples about safety, shifts, teamwork and reliability.
Build a tracked, targeted application process with follow-up. Stop sending random applications into the void and start treating it like a system.

It's practical, worker-side guidance from someone who's been through the process and knows what actually matters. No job guarantees — just straight advice to make your application look like it belongs in mining.
