Job interviews can be a nerve-wracking experience, filled with anticipation and uncertainty. In this episode, we delve into the rollercoaster ride of Mad Mumzie's daughter's phone interview. We explore the tricky interview questions that threw her off and how she got through them.

The interview kicks off with a seemingly straightforward question: "What does safety mean to you?" This question, though simple, sets the tone for the rest of the interview. It's a reminder that interviewers are not just looking for technical skills, but also for insight into a candidate's values and mindset.

So, did she get the job? You'll have to listen to the full episode to find out. But regardless of the outcome, her story is a powerful reminder that interviews are not just about answering questions correctly. They're about showcasing who you are, how you think, and how you handle challenges.

Matt Michael from Money Of Mine podcast and co-founder of Mining Select. In this episode we dive deep into Matt's latest venture, Mining Select, a revolutionary platform aiming to transform the mining recruitment landscape. Matt shares the highs, lows, and hilarious anecdotes of creating a "Tinder for mining jobs," where quality trumps quantity, and Australian workers can connect directly with mining companies.

From the inception of Mining Select to its challenges and aspirations, Matt's passion and determination shine through. He also reflects on his journey from jumbo operator to podcast host and entrepreneur, discussing the cultural shifts within the mining industry and advocating for a future where miners are recognized for their skills, not their gender or background.

Come with Mad Mumzie as she goes for a mine dust lung disease check up, including chest Xray. What is involved? What did she do wrong along the way, and what you need to know for your check-ups. Why have one? Mine dust lung diseases (MDLD) are occupational lung disorders that result from prolonged exposure to high concentrations of respirable dust. MDLD can take a decade or longer to develop and may not show any symptoms for a long time. Therefore, early detection and prevention are very important.
