Let’s wrap it up here. Until next time, keep an eye on those deadlines and reach for the roles that excite you the most.

When I landed a ‘senior counsel’ role at a mid-tier miner, a one-page deal sheet (permitting wins, JV/royalty terms, crisis response) got faster callbacks — treat the JD like an ore body and mine it for keywords. Small caveat: many ‘remote’ postings still expect 25–40% site travel, so ask about rotation before applying.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍⁠‌‌‍‍‍​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‍​​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌​⁠‌⁠​‌​⁠‍‌‌⁠‍​‌​‍‌‌‍⁠​‌​⁠⁠‌​​⁠​⁠​‌‌‌‌‌‌​⁠​‌⁠‌​‌‌⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌​‍‌​⁠​‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

I’ve had better luck on these “real-time” postings by leading my resume with a two-line header mapping commodity and jurisdiction experience (e.g., WA iron ore; Ontario gold; Chile Cu/Mo) and attaching one anonymized redline from a streaming or offtake term sheet. Recruiters told me it shows senior-counsel fit in 10 seconds, and I can fire it off fast before roles expire. Caveat: scrub counterparties and, if it’s a remote role, add a line on your tool stack (iManage/Ironclad) to show you can run matters asynchronously.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍⁠‌‌‍‍‍​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‍​​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌⁠​​​⁠​‌‌‍⁠‌​⁠‌​‌​‌‍‌⁠‌​‌​‌​‌‍​⁠‌‍​‌‌⁠‌⁠‌‍‌​‌​⁠​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

Quick example: I started getting callbacks after adding a single metrics line under my name with one hard outcome plus a site-ready note (MSHA Part 48). > and, if it’s a remote role, add a line on your tool stack (iManage/Ironclad) to show you can run matters asynchronously. I pair that with a one-sentence example like ‘closed 4 access agreements in the Pilbara in Q2’; caveat: keep it current or it looks stale.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍⁠‌‌‍‍‍​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‍​​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​⁠⁠‌‍​‌‌‌​‍‌‍⁠‍‌‌‍‌​⁠​‍‌‍​‍​⁠‌⁠‌‌​​‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‌​​⁠‌‌​‍‌‌⁠⁠‌‍‌‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

These “real-time” posts vanish fast, . What’s helped me on senior counsel roles is attaching a short ‘site ops’ brief with two anonymized redlines (streaming + offtake) and one line on GISTM/NI 43–101 touchpoints, so it’s obvious I’m mine-site ready even if the job’s remote. If you can’t share redlines, cite a public reference instead, e.g., ICMM’s GISTM: https://www.icmm.com/gistm.
