WHETHER I WOULD ENJOY AND HOW I WOULD MANAGE THE RESIDENTIAL/FIFO MINING LIFESTYLE
IN THE NEWCREST MINING 2021 GRADUATE PROGRAM
The FIFO Mining lifestyle is, in itself, a great motivation to me. Presently, I am working at the Coles Supermarket, which employs rosters system of work. Such a system has come with numerous benefits to me at personal levels as they give one enough time to spend with the family when they are on beaks. I would enjoy the prolonged holidays and the time between rosters to perform other personal activities.
Moreover, I would enjoy traveling regularly to have new experiences in a new and variety of places. I would also enjoy shifting to another mine site after the required period to gain more advanced skills and in new areas. Also, I would appreciate the fact that there will be no relocating my family to other places, which is often associated with many difficulties.
To manage the demands for the FIFO lifestyle, I will have a personal schedule of activities so that each holiday and break would have a specific action. Primarily, I would use most of the extended holidays and beaks to work on my master’s degree. The time would be a great motivation for continuing my studies for continued growth. Moreover, the extended time would permit me to enjoy freely without interference from work. Besides, the time at work would be free from family interference as I would have to stay at the workplace throughout. I would also use holidays and breaks to travel across the world. During these regular travels, I would collect relevant information regarding my career path to identify the areas that require improvement through research. Therefore, given the opportunity, I would enjoy all the working conditions, and I would have the best ways to use all the time during official duties, and during the holidays and breaks.
