      I've had an A.A.S. in Transportation and Logistics Management since 2014. I've never been hired for a transportation or logistics position after getting this degree because at the local port they require two to three years of experience. Getting my degree was a complete waste of time and money and a real source of frustration because I have to repay these school loans.

I've worked in supply chain in Melbourne for over 10 years and I'm looking at starting a consultancy for very small customers who don't get looked after by the big players, making it very hard for them to enter the Australian market. I feel I've got the contacts and expertise to design some great solutions for these smaller business and look to grow with them. I know I have plenty to offer with my global logistics experience, but I don't know how to go about starting an actual business. Great to find this channel.

    I picked up an internship at Walmart eCommerce, interning as a process manager on the operational side. I went to school for general biz and fell in love with SC during uni. During my time at Walmart (about a month in), I have found that supply chain is my powerhouse... people management, number crunching (in terms of performance metrics), and TONS of improvement projects on the side. My advice for those who want to enter into this field: definitely grab a degree in biz or a package of certifications, and think about constant improvement! LEAN Six Sigma certs are a terrific place to start

    • @MrTheagame
      @MrTheagame 3 года назад +2

      @@clevelend22 entry level jobs in ecommerce usually fall into operations or buying/planning (unless you are talking about extremely entry level such as a warehouse associate). I was involved in entry level management in operations, which typically would require 4 or 5 years of management experience -- which sounds weird, I know -- or through an internship and get hired on. It sounds like you would be a buyer/planner, which typically is a good "starter" job with no people management, just working with Transportation Management Systems and coordinating shipments (which can get a little hectic at times, believe me). If you are talking solely digital, then supply chain is constantly evolving which is where IT experience would come in handy -- coding, system maintenance and troubleshooting, etc.

      Supply Chain Secrets I work for a firm based out of Irvine California where we manufacture and distribute mobile electronic accessories. As an entry level supply chain manager I primarily deal with inventory management, retail fulfillment and logistics. Watching the video you covered all the steps. As a recent graduate (BA-Ops/Supply Chain) I would say school is perhaps the most important- I’ve been with the same company since 2012 and I was never afforded opportunities until I had that degree. Hope all the best to everyone out there pursing this grueling, yet rewarding career! Ps- don’t let your pride get in the way of your progression, as the man said, it’s all about experience!! In this field one task builds upon the next, familiarize yourself with them. You can’t be an effective leader if you’ve never been in your employees shoes. APICS CPIM and Six Sigma black belt will be my next step, followed by MBA.

    Your advices were extremely helpful sir, appreciated a lot! Lots of peers threw their questions at you, here comes mine if you don't mind. I am a fresh grad from BSc Maritime Business Administration, I was accepted by Trinity College for their master's degree in SCM. When I checked the core subjects being taught and studied myself a little, it made me think that SCM, not only studies but real life, involve such a great amount of numerics that only an industrial engineer would suit well into it, rather than the one did nothing much but ground calculus or traces of operations research. Do you think it should rather be qualified as an engineering branch? You also mentioned the finance branch but I guess it also needs the knowledge of modelling and calculation? I also got offered for Shipping&Logistics by Newcastle, their courses were much more familiar but wanted to try something out new and to survive in a new ecosystem in the future even though it looks very tough... Look forward to hearing your opinions

    I tried all sorts of clever tricks to get work and I have strong qualifications. Truth is I got a job by applying to the recruitment agency to the biggest local employer. Just said I was big and strong. From there I was loading within 3 days. From there I was working in admin within a week. Then you can try and steer where they put you so you learn a lot. No faffing, with getting in there. At certain times of years places will take on almost anyone who is keen and you can just give it a blast from there. Networking to get to the bottom of the ladder to me seems a bit faffy.

Do you think having a degree in ChemE helps or should I drop it and start a new program in more related majors?

I got promoted to be the supervisor of this department and also I was in charge of Receiving Goods. My responsibilities can be summed up as I was in charge to keep the store stocked and avoiding as much as possible running out of stocks. Because I loved this job and I got to know about the Supply Chain I decided to do my Engineering Degree and unfortunately I wasn’t able to get back to the industry. I moved to Melbourne, Australia and I want to get into the field here. That was 10 years ago. Companies see my work experience no longer relevant, so I need to try to start from an entry level.

      As he had mentioned....NETWORK. You would be amazed what skills are needed in this field. There is so much out there that really requires such a breadth of knowledge that it is rare that someone cannot find a home in Supply Chain Management. FMCG Companies and Retailers often have some of the best entry-level opportunities that can help you build a great and diverse skillset. For example: I started at Target on the Store side. I ran Hardlines and Logistics. It is what set my path toward distribution for other retailers and then as my career has progressed, and I have tackled bigger challenges, I am not at a Gartner's Master company putting skills I never knew I would need to use daily. I landed every job through networking. Only one of my jobs was a blind application (and it was my worst one). A graduate degree can help, but if you join the right company...they will pay for it. I didn't pay for my MBA, and I will not likely pay for my MS in SCM and PhD.

      There might be lots of scope, but the difficulty is always getting a Work Permit / Visa. As well, you are competing for jobs with people in that country, and employers will often choose local candidates as it's just easier in terms of language, culture, local industry knowledge etc. Often the best approach is to get a job in your own country with a multi national business. that can open up opportunities to relocate.

    Hi I’m a high school senior debating between CS and Supply chain Managment and logistics to major in college. I am more interested in SCm and logistics but my two questions are is a BS in SCM or do I need a Masters as well later on? Is the demand for this degree always gonna be at a high in the US and Canada and what is the average salary I will be looking at has an intern? If anyone has the answer to there questions please let me know

      CS? Can't really comment on the US and Canada, as I'm based on the other side of the World. It all depends on what type of career you want in Supply Chain. And what career path you want to follow. But a Bachelor degree is important if you want to rise through management roles and a Masters will be fairly essential to go further. But an MBA will likely be better than more SCM study at Masters level. Or do both! I might get a friend of mine on an interview who I think has 3 or 4 masters degrees! And rose up through Supply Chain to be the CEO of a multi billion $ retailer.

      Supply Chain Secrets thank you for replying very helpful information. So basically it is a promising career? I’m not really looking at doing a masters AS OF NOW but from what I’ve read and interviewed people who are in this position the money is good as well as it being a promising career. Hopefully a Bachelors of Science is good enough for this. Do you also recommend taking logistics courses for this field?

      Logistics is not a separate subject, it's a subset of SCM.
