About Cal

I'm Cal — I left Ireland with nothing and landed a FIFO job in 28 days!

Hey, I'm Cal McIlwaine. In May 2023, I left Ireland on a working holiday visa chasing opportunity in Australia. I had zero mining experience. My background? Running nightclub events back home — not exactly FIFO material.

But 28 days after I landed in Australia, I had a FIFO job offer.

Not because I got lucky. Not because I had connections. But because I followed a clear, step-by-step process.

The problem? I had to figure it all out the hard way. YouTube. Social media. Facebook groups. Contradictory advice. Wasted money on certifications I didn't need. Applied to companies that were never hiring. Months of guesswork.

That's why I created this blueprint.

Since then, I've spent nearly three years helping people from Ireland, the UK, Europe, New Zealand, Canada, and the US make this same move. I've seen what works. I've seen what doesn't. I've helped hundreds of people break into FIFO — and they've done it faster than I did.

Here's what I know for sure: If I can land a FIFO job with zero experience, so can you. You just need the right blueprint.

  • Working FIFO across Australia since 2023 — still on site
  • Helped hundreds of people from around the world land their first FIFO job
  • 260,000+ followers across social media sharing honest FIFO advice
  • Still creating content from the mines — real current advice, not recycled theory

The FIFO
Step-by-Step
Guide

The Most Comprehensive FIFO Guide Available Anywhere.

Most people trying to break into FIFO are swimming in random advice. Wrong visa. Wrong job roles. Applying to the wrong companies. Wasting weeks because nobody sat down and told them exactly what to do first.
This guide fixes that.

The Step-by-Step Guide covers:

I built the guide I wish I'd had when I made the move. 156 pages of every bit of knowledge and advice I have, built from nearly three years of helping people break into FIFO — every step, in order, nothing left out. Hundreds of people have used exactly this to land their first FIFO job. You just follow the steps.

  • Everything you need before you leave home — visas, flights, accommodation, what to pack and more
  • All the admin to get sorted when you land — TFN, bank, phone, driving license swap, police check, taxes and more
  • The full FIFO recruitment process — target roles, tickets, resume, ATS filters, where to apply and how to approach companies
  • Interview prep, medical checks, first swing packing and exactly what to expect on site
