Everything you need to know about GetFIFOReady — who it's for, how it works, and what it can (and can't) do for your FIFO job search.
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. The core skills — safety language, shift readiness, reliable presentation, clear ticket strategy — transfer across most site-based industries.
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. Most people have more transferable skills than they realise. The problem is usually that the resume doesn't surface them in a way that looks site-ready.
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 unnecessary private details before sending resume content.
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. 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. Shutdown work in particular values people who can turn up on time, follow procedures, and not be a liability. If you can present that well, you're ahead of most applicants.
No. GetFIFOReady is practical worker-side guidance — we help you build better applications, not place you in jobs. We are not a recruiter, HR service, or job-placement agency. What we do is help you stop wasting applications, look more site-ready, and target realistic entry pathways. The rest is on you: volume, follow-up, and turning up ready to work.
The free checker is a self-serve 3-minute tool that runs in your browser. It asks about your situation and identifies your likely bottleneck — resume, targeting, tickets, volume, or basics. The $49 No-Replies Review is a manual, personalised review by a real FIFO worker. You send your situation and get specific feedback: your likely bottleneck, 2–3 realistic role pathways, resume top-section notes, ticket reality check, and search terms to target over the next 7 days.

After you submit the review form and complete payment, you'll receive your review by email as a branded PDF within 2–3 business days. One clarification email is included. If we cannot take on the review, we'll tell you before taking any money.
GetFIFOReady is built for people already in Australia with work rights. The advice, role pathways, and ticket strategy are specific to the Australian mining industry. If you're outside Australia, most of the guidance won't apply directly. We don't provide visa or migration advice — for that, you need official sources like the Department of Home Affairs.
No. GetFIFOReady does not provide visa, migration, or immigration advice. We are not migration agents and cannot help with visa applications, sponsorship, or work rights questions. If you need visa help, consult a registered migration agent or visit the Department of Home Affairs website. We're here to help with applications and career positioning only.
It depends on the role you're targeting — and that's the whole point. Don't buy tickets blindly. Start by collecting 10 real job ads for your target role and listing the requirements that repeat across them. That tells you what actually matters. Common starting points include a White Card (construction), driver licence, police check, and for some roles an HR/MR licence or specific machinery tickets. But the exact mix depends on the pathway. The free checker and the AUD $49 review both include a ticket reality check to help you avoid wasting money on courses nobody asked for.
Run the free checker. Takes 3 minutes. No sign-up required. It'll tell you your likely bottleneck and what to do next.
