Hi Folks,
I was not sure where to post for some advice so apologies if this is not correct.
Looking for advice on getting work in gold mines, one major issue I have is that I am applying from Scotland UK so I think my applications are rejected outright even though I state I can get over to the USA within a week.
I am now thinking to combine a holiday with a job seeking aim as I would prefer to talk to the people on the sites directly, likely I would still be directed to personnel but at least I could talk and show them I was on the ground and ready to go.
I am not fussy about most job positions, I am doing it for the experience but still need it to cover my basic costs.
Never worked in a mine before as so few here in the UK but I have an engineering and science background and have a research degree in the hydrology area so I could be useful.
Is this a feasible idea? I know employers would have to fill in extra forms with me being a British foreigner, maybe that kills the idea?
Regards
