Resume Writing for FIFO, Mining, Oil & Gas and Trades,
from the Tools to the Site Office

I was on the tools from 17 to 38: gas pipelines, offshore oil and gas, mining and construction.

Then I spent time on a recruitment desk, so I know how applications get screened.

I'm not a recruitment agency. I don't place you in jobs. I make sure your resume, LinkedIn and SEEK show what you've actually done.

From the recruitment desk, I saw the same problems over and over.

Tickets buried on page two. Tickets and licences should sit near the top, with their proper names. A supervisor shouldn't have to hunt for your rigging or HRWL.

Site names with no context. A site name alone doesn't say what you did, what gear you ran or who you worked for.

Missing scope. Equipment, plant, shutdown scopes and the size of the jobs. That's what shows the level you work at.

No roster history. For FIFO roles, showing you've held swings matters.

Safety as one generic line. "Safety conscious" says nothing. Your resume should show how you actually work on site.

• Your resume, in PDF and Word
• A LinkedIn copy-paste pack, with a settings checklist
• A SEEK setup guide
• Tailored cover letters for specific roles, on request, for 1 month after completion. Each one is delivered within 48 hours.
• Unlimited revisions for 7 days from delivery

Every build includes a one-on-one call with me to get the details right.

Recruiters search LinkedIn for your tickets. I make sure they find yours.

1. Pay to lock in your build.

2. Intake form. Tell me your tickets, sites and work history.

3. One-on-one call with me to get the details right.

4. Gap-fill questions. I ask about anything that's missing.

5. Drafting. I review and sign off every resume before it reaches you.

6. Delivery in 3 business days, once I have all your information.

ATS-safe, not ATS fear. I format every resume so applicant tracking systems can read it cleanly, and use the language the job ads use. Nobody can honestly guarantee a resume passes every system, and I won't pretend to.
