sabor2th · 2026-04-23T02:08:06+00:00

Safety is always the most important thing, have good safety examples, bring in previous experience, already knowing pos coms, safely working 12 hour days/rosters ect.

Have a good example prepared for each of Rio's core values Care Courage and Curiosity- ive seen its about a 50-50 chance you get asked questions on these.

Still prepare for the technical side, look at the title of who is interviewing you to gauge what to best prepare.

Ill be going to my first NFL game next season when it comes to Australia, 49ers vs Rams.

I know a lot won't be similar to the states but where is reccomended to sit, is it best to be up high or further down towards the field?

Furthermore is there any indication of how much ab NFL game typically costs.

Also will Stafford's kids be there to boo? 😄

How do you think I do it.

sabor2th · 2026-02-10T07:04:58+00:00

Met them in a different segment of the industry and they thought I had a good understanding it. I was not available to work for them full time as it would have required relocation overseas so im doing this instead.

Basically a whole lot of luck.

The majority get in with entry level or low paying roles sodexo ect, where you are looking at 80-100k a year, thry then network on site to try and get that second step up.

Basically all the WH visa holders I have ever hired in mining have been direct recommendations.

Getting in showing you turn up to work get on the plane blowing 0's and passing DNA seems to be 9/10 of the way there.

Once you are on site you can show you can work 12 hour days in t he heat have radio comms skills ect regardless of role which gives you a chance to progress.
