  1. Hi guys I'm new to the forum. I'd like to get involved in the mining industry but I don't have any previous experience. I'll be using a 12 month working holiday visa and plan to work in regional Oz for 3 months to qualify for a second working holiday visa. I've looked at entry level jobs on the mines and if I could land one of these jobs I've got my foot in the door. I also plan to acquire the basic required certificates/tickets needed to work on a mine site while I'm out there. I'd need to gain experience either on a mine site or doing a job related outside a mine that could help me get a permanent role in the industry. The plan is that by the end of the second working holiday visa, I will have gained enough work experience and acquired enough mining certificates/tickets to approach an employer and request employer sponsorship for a skilled occupation. (I've read that mining employers are generally looking for senior/highly skilled workers that they can't find in Australia so that they'd sponsor a foreigner and the whole process is quite expensive for them, however I've read that if you can impress your/an employer with willingness and enthusiasm you can stand a change of them sponsoring you. So could the plan work? Am I going about it the right way?
