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'm really glad I stumbled upon your channel Rob. Some seriously great info! 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.
@@supplychainsecrets That would be great mate! I can't believe in all these years I've never made a linkedin but I see the value in it so going to do this today :)
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
Whats your opinion on getting an entry level job in ecommerce? Also, a position on the digital side that does not involve dealing with customers. I don't mind communicating with vendors and/or suppliers though.
@@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.
This video is very important. I'm a student in Supply Chain Management, Transport and Logistics with a background in accounting and finance. I can now figure out where I can fit myself, but I love the logistics aspect of SCM.
Want in? Get a material handler job at the place you want to work at. Learn everything fast and do a great job, every day. You’re only going up from there
I have started working as a warehouse assistant 4 years ago, currently working for a year on an aviation company in Greece as a procurement officer. BSc in Marketing and Advertising, MSc in Management Science and Technology (some of the courses contained SAP hands-on experience, Supply Manegement, Transportation System Management e.t.c.), looking for ways to progress my career further. Thinking about obtaining a certification at the moment to pursue a better job position.
I used to work in an outsourced logistics company , a big one in the US but my manager let go of them and it broke my heart. I was the team leader for my team , I trained them and managed them at the same time. We are the 1st outsourced company that they chose to work with. We do track and trace for them. I miss the job so much ..
I'm in school now for supply chain and management bachelor's degree, I was supply in the army and did well and would like to work for DoD so I'm going to school to have a better opportunity. Thanks for the video
I am looking around to see what the day to day is like as a supply chain manager. I have one more year until I graduate with my degree. I'm worried because I'm more of an introverted, independent worker. Are there positions that are more office-based where you don't deal with a lot of people?
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.
Most of the questions I get here are from graduates looking for entry level management positions. But for those who just want to get a foot in the door, I agree 100% with you.
I am planning to find a SCM role in Melbourne Australia sometime soon and your video helped me alot to prepare for it. I worked as an export admin for 2 years and sales planner for a year at a FMCG company. I have strong knowledge about Logistics and Demand/Inventory Planning. I am hoping to connect these two fields and get a SCM entry job! Fingers crossed! Yoshi
Thank you for sharing such a good content. Once I get there in New Zealand and start my course, I'll be troubling you with many doubts in the comment section.
I wanna go into supply chain but i have a degree in industrial design which is more about designing and manufacturing the product itself a bit like product design but a bit more technical. I only have experience in retail but do have a masters in entrepreneurial design management. What part of supply chain would i best have a chance at ? probably not wanting anything primaryily revolved around numbers and finance. You mentioned something about solution design? what is the job title for this part of supply chain industry.
Hello, is this still a good field to go into in 2021? And does this career have good future prospects? I’m having a hard time finding solid information for this field. Good video though !
Woow this was amazing video 🙏🏾thank you thank you. I have an Air Transport Management’s Honors Degree and was looking at transitioning to supply chain and logistics I really need some guidance on this. I appreciate your advice.
Rob, I have an MSc from Cranfield in Supply Chain Management , with 15 Years experience of repair & Sales of MHE (one touch) equipment. Would there be good opportunities in South Australia to enter as middle management withing a warehouse or operations role? If not what state would you suggest in Aus? Thanks Rob.
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.
What's confusing you? Don't worry too much about the subject, think ahead about the type of work you want to do. Have you watched this video? th-cam.com/video/2mXmZfgpyts/w-d-xo.html
Great video. Quick question. I have a bachelor's degree in computer Engineering, worked 1 years in mangment ( marine officer /department manager assistant) and 1 year in a Smart home system start up. But I have figured out that I would like to work in the supply chain operation. from where do I start. Thanks
Would you say military logistical experience helps in standing out/getting a position? Also, how many years of service would be ideal/stand out from the other veterans.
I did work for a French Supermarket called Carrefour. I started as Inventory Assistant, I moved to procurement/purchase (through suppliers already in the system) and KPI controller. 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. I would like your advise on what kind of positions could I start with on an entry level. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing. Such a good content. Your advise is really practical. Start from Warehouse system in charge, no SCM background, graduated in Political science and Arabic language. now I'm working as Supply Chain manager in one of FMCG company in Saudi Arabia. Gain experience,Network, network, all of us has own destiny. Again Thanks for sharing the knowledge. God bless you
That's very interesting. I am from KSA and I graduated computer Eng and I have found out that supply chain is what I'm looking for. I'm still trying to apply and trying to figure out how to get a job in the Supply chain operation
I currently have an associates degree in Business Admin. Is it worth going back to school to get a degree in supply chain management to start my career?
I don't have a bachelors in Supply Chain Management and Logistics nor do I have experience in it. But I've been studying for couple of months on Coursera and other online learning and also trying to pursue a graduate degree in Supply Chain Management and Logistics. Do you think this is a good way to get into the industry/job? My lack of experience in the field seems to be limiting my chances of even getting entry level positions in supply chain/logistics.
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.
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
This is going to sound strange. But whatever job you can find......... That first job will give you a taste of Supply Chain and you can branch out from there. There are so many types of jobs and companies........it comes down to what sounds interesting to you.
I'm working on a Bachelor's degree in Data Management/Data Analytics in Western Governors University. Do you think this can help me get into Supply Chain Management?
I have been doing export documentation for 3 years, I want to go for logistic and supply chain diploma which is for 40 weeks, I am only a high school graduate. Do you think that this diploma worth giving a chance, as I don’t have any background in supply chain. We do freight forwarding
What would be your best advice to a young person fresh out of university with a bachelors in logistics and supply chain management but no work experience?
Hi Rob! Would you rate Diploma of Logistics (Monarch Institute) and/or Apics CSCP as alternative to Tertiary Qualification in SCM to get entry level job?
Thanks very much for the video. It’s helpful. I hold and Engineering Degree and I worked in a super market 10 years ago within the Supply Chain Department. I moved to Australia and I want to get a job in the field. What sort of roll would you suggest to start with? If I want to work in analysis or engineering solutions. TIA.
@Garrett Modesitt I want either procurement or to be a purchaser. What are your thoughts on my qualifications? Will a diploma and 3 or 4 certifications be enough to land me a job?
@@supplychainsecrets I have military experience and gain most of my logistics experience from there. Mostly doing material handling. I do want to be apart of operations side of things. Such as logistics coordination or logistics analyst. Would you suggest I go for my APICS CLTD cert? That’s what I’m leaning towards.
Hello sir, thank you very much for the information, I'm gonna join a Bachelors in Bussines Administration college this year choosing Logistics and supply chain management as specialization and by the end of the degree I want to be placement ready so can you pls guide me how to build a strong CV and what certification courses I should do so that I can stand out from rest of the crowd and get 1st preference at placements and be Industry ready.
I'm not the best person to ask! I've only had 3 jobs in my life and the current one started 23 years ago LOL. Courses? Depends what you have already. APICS and CIPS are good and well recognised.
Hi Sir, I have persued Btech in electronics and communication. Now I decided to study supply chain management in UK. But I'm confused between few Uni's offering courses in : 1. Logistics & Supply Chain Management 2. Operations & Supply Chain Management 3. Global Supply Chain Management Can you please suggest the difference between these & suggest me a better choice?
It really depends what you intend going with in the future career-wise. I'd advice operations and supply chain management. There are just tiny variations from the course content of each. Be warned that this course is very demanding also.
I will be finishing my BA in Psychology in 2 years, is a Masters in Supply Chain Management a good decision with this BA? Thinking of adding a statistics minor to sharpen my math skills.
@@supplychainsecrets I am currently an inventory manager and retail store manager (same place) so I have my foot in the SCM field. My previous manager was an operations manager with a BA in psych and I was an excise duty bookkeeper but started as a packer (got promoted based on my degree, no one else there despite being ten years older were working on higher ed). So the fields are not directly related but they are transferable. Any advice on how to proceed? I feel like an MBA isn't necessary until I'm a bit older.
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?
thank you very much for the information! but i do have another question its a bachelor's degree in logistics and management thats three years what do u think about that? and after that probably take a master in service management and supply chain management do you think the companies would like this? sorry if my english is a little bit rusty not my first language and are writing this in a hurry.
Hi, I have a degree in business and management and wondered the value that would be added by a masters in global operations, logistics and supply chain management as well as possibly doing a college course after the masters in engineering.
Hi,thank you for the information,I am planning to do my online course for Logistic and Supply Chain mgnt for under a year here in a reputive school in Alberta Canada, less than a year is enough to get a job in Logistic? Thank you.

Great video! I’m a fresh graduate, Supply Chain and Logistics in Canada. I’m having trouble of finding what job would be perfect for me. Also, starting to think of just going back to Philippines, will there be a lot of work as well there with the same field? 🤔
It's always hard starting out. I would advise 2 things. (1) get a 'start' on the ground floor if you can, get noticed and you'll soon move up and (2) go where the jobs are......
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.
I recently found an associate's program for Supply Chain Management at one of my local community colleges. I'm really interested in logistics and the transportation side of that, is this something I could eventually get into with having a 2-year degree in supply chain management?
@Garrett Modesitt so I currently work for Costco wholesale and I learned that they don’t even require a degree for any of their positions, even supply chain/logistics. I’m thinking I’m going to ride that train to corporate and see how it goes. I think the 4 year degrees got slammed into our heads in high school so now I’m concerned for no reason with only obtaining a 2 year
I have 12 years of IT experience in Software testing field. I did a part time certificate course in export/import management & learnt abt Supply chain management field. I'm looking to move from Software testing field to a business management field like SCM. Would you suggest it will be a good idea to switch career to SCM(will my 12 yrs corporate work experience help in SCM job although its a software specific experience) or should I continue doing current software testing job.
Hello hoping to reach you somehow, I just started working for fed ex in an entry level role but have the drive to become a supply chain manager. Currently I’m considering pursuing a masters degree in this field and I was wondering if you think it is worth it and if it’s necessary? I do have a bachelors in business management with no concentration but I’m wondering if obtaining a masters in supply chain management is a good next step?
That's my goal working in australia, I have experience in transportation and logistics here in Brazil, but im not graduated, everything I Know is on practice, Can I find some job there?
is it wise to get experience while in military or get a job immediately in my field ? i’m thinking about joining the air force after i get my degree in logistics .
THe Military will give you good experience and skills, but a lot of Military Logistics experience does not transfer that easily to civilian business. I know, I spent 22 years in the Military, and have interviewed and hired many ex Military people..
I would like to know which are the best universities for MBA in supply chain management around the globe? Whether Logistics and Supply Chain Management is better or other options like Procurement and Supply Chain Management are better? I will be pleased to know which are the new essential skills required for in SCM or for having a career in SCM?
There are so many good schools around the World that's a tough question. I went to Cranfield in UK, regarded at the time as one of the top 10, but it doesn't seem to even rank anymore! Personally I would suggest a broader program, as you can get stock in Procurement (it is often regarded as it's own discipline) www.supplychaindigital.com/top-10/top-10-best-supply-chain-masters-courses-worldwide

Hi, the difficulty is always getting a Visa. Not easy sadly. Most people come to Australia as a student and then try to get work after finishing their studies.

But the point is, you really need to be here......to get the job. Good luck.

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.

I was the team leader for my team , I trained them and managed them at the same time. We are the 1st outsourced company that they chose to work with. We do track and trace for them. I miss the job so much ..
Hopefully you'll find another great company and team to work with soon 🙂
Great video i just finished Certificate 111 in Logistic Operations and now studying Certificate 1V in Wharehouse Operations
Nice work! I'm glad you found it helpful.
I'm in school now for supply chain and management bachelor's degree, I was supply in the army and did well and would like to work for DoD so I'm going to school to have a better opportunity. Thanks for the video
Good luck with your studies!
I am looking around to see what the day to day is like as a supply chain manager. I have one more year until I graduate with my degree. I'm worried because I'm more of an introverted, independent worker. Are there positions that are more office-based where you don't deal with a lot of people?
Yes there are lots, don't worry.
@@supplychainsecrets what types of positions should I be looking for that would be more independent-style work rather than people-based?
@@laurachester5217 I too am skeptical as I do not do well with an environment with a lot of people.
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.
I suppose my point is the best network is the work network.
I agree if you are starting off at the bottom of the ladder, recruiting companies, labour hire companies are the way to. Just get a foot in the door!
Most of the questions I get here are from graduates looking for entry level management positions. But for those who just want to get a foot in the door, I agree 100% with you.

I am planning to find a SCM role in Melbourne Australia sometime soon and your video helped me alot to prepare for it.

I wanna go into supply chain but i have a degree in industrial design which is more about designing and manufacturing the product itself a bit like product design but a bit more technical. I only have experience in retail but do have a masters in entrepreneurial design management. What part of supply chain would i best have a chance at ? probably not wanting anything primaryily revolved around numbers and finance. You mentioned something about solution design? what is the job title for this part of supply chain industry.
Solution design is all about numbers and finance. Most of Supply Chain is in reality. 🙁
Really Thank you For sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hello, is this still a good field to go into in 2021? And does this career have good future prospects? I’m having a hard time finding solid information for this field. Good video though !
Yes there are great prospects, Due to Covid, the World now has a greater understanding and respect for those working in Supply Chain.

Rob, I have an MSc from Cranfield in Supply Chain Management , with 15 Years experience of repair & Sales of MHE (one touch) equipment. Would there be good opportunities in South Australia to enter as middle management withing a warehouse or operations role? If not what state would you suggest in Aus? Thanks Rob.
Personally I would pick the two larger States, NSW and VIC. But maybe talk to some recruiters?
You're helping alot. Thank you!
Thank You, that's good to hear.
Glad it’s helpful!
Great advice, applies here in the states as well. Well done.
Glad to hear it. What type of Supply Chain are you involved in?
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.
@@Campers_Anonymous Great advice and feedback!
I'm going to do an undergraduate course next year . I'm a little confused about choosing the subject . I'm interested about SCM .

Sir discuss about Noc B supply chain jobs in Canada
Sorry I don't live in Canada of have experience of Canada. I'd suggest you talk to a migration agent.
Excellent insight. Thank you vastly!!
Would you say military logistical experience helps in standing out/getting a position?
Also, how many years of service would be ideal/stand out from the other veterans.
It can, depending on the job you are seeking. Though it is hard sometimes for the experience to 'translate'. 10 years might be good, 20 can be bad.
Very informative and ice-breaking ...was confused about careers in the Supply chain field. It looked too wide to pick a spot
Just pick a spot and go for it. Getting started in the industry is the main thing!
Tell us about your First Supply Chain related job! What was it?
I did work for a French Supermarket called Carrefour. I started as Inventory Assistant, I moved to procurement/purchase (through suppliers already in the system) and KPI controller. 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. I would like your advise on what kind of positions could I start with on an entry level. Thanks.

That's very interesting. I am from KSA and I graduated computer Eng and I have found out that supply chain is what I'm looking for. I'm still trying to apply and trying to figure out how to get a job in the Supply chain operation
I currently have an associates degree in Business Admin. Is it worth going back to school to get a degree in supply chain management to start my career?
it would certainly help.
@@supplychainsecrets Thank you I appreciate your response!
I don't have a bachelors in Supply Chain Management and Logistics nor do I have experience in it. But I've been studying for couple of months on Coursera and other online learning and also trying to pursue a graduate degree in Supply Chain Management and Logistics. Do you think this is a good way to get into the industry/job? My lack of experience in the field seems to be limiting my chances of even getting entry level positions in supply chain/logistics.
Keep trying, keep applying and I'm sure you get something soon.
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.
@@MAOfights Than You for that great example. Network, network, network............
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
Dublin is a great City! And Yes Supply Chain Chain management is rather an engineering type of subject.
Short but wise! Gotcha! Did already accept their offers, trying to find sources to enrich myself. let's see once we get over this madness
Hello i am new my only one semester left could tell me what can i do for entry level job which position i can apply ? Which kind of company ?
This is going to sound strange. But whatever job you can find......... That first job will give you a taste of Supply Chain and you can branch out from there. There are so many types of jobs and companies........it comes down to what sounds interesting to you.
I'm working on a Bachelor's degree in Data Management/Data Analytics in Western Governors University. Do you think this can help me get into Supply Chain Management?
Certainly.
Thank you for this content.

I have been doing export documentation for 3 years, I want to go for logistic and supply chain diploma which is for 40 weeks, I am only a high school graduate. Do you think that this diploma worth giving a chance, as I don’t have any background in supply chain. We do freight forwarding
Of course. All professional education is valuable.
What would be your best advice to a young person fresh out of university with a bachelors in logistics and supply chain management but no work experience?
Get some experience! As explained in this video. Look for any type of Supply Chain related job to get you started.
Hi Rob! Would you rate Diploma of Logistics (Monarch Institute) and/or Apics CSCP as alternative to Tertiary Qualification in SCM to get entry level job?
Sure, either of those will certainly help.
Thanks for your explanation sir..✌
Glad it helped.
Thanks very much for the video. It’s helpful. I hold and Engineering Degree and I worked in a super market 10 years ago within the Supply Chain Department. I moved to Australia and I want to get a job in the field. What sort of roll would you suggest to start with? If I want to work in analysis or engineering solutions. TIA.
To be honest, see what roles come up! Anything analytical based would suit you.
@Garrett Modesitt I noticed a lot of people in supply chain have engineering degrees. Would I be just fine with a 2-year diploma in SCM?
@Garrett Modesitt Thank you for the reply. I plan on getting my diploma in supply chain with 3 or 4 certifications. I hope this makes me employable.
@Garrett Modesitt I want either procurement or to be a purchaser. What are your thoughts on my qualifications? Will a diploma and 3 or 4 certifications be enough to land me a job?
What’s a good entry level position?
Really depends on your level of education / qualification. Can you tell me more?
@@supplychainsecrets I have military experience and gain most of my logistics experience from there. Mostly doing material handling. I do want to be apart of operations side of things. Such as logistics coordination or logistics analyst. Would you suggest I go for my APICS CLTD cert? That’s what I’m leaning towards.
@@IAMDENNIS_24 APICS will certainly be a good start.

Hi Sir, I have persued Btech in electronics and communication.
Now I decided to study supply chain management in UK.
But I'm confused between few Uni's offering courses in :
1. Logistics & Supply Chain Management
2. Operations & Supply Chain Management
3. Global Supply Chain Management
Can you please suggest the difference between these & suggest me a better choice?
Without knowing the precise contents of each course, and the career you intend to follow, that would be difficult, sorry.
@@supplychainsecrets
You didn't answer his question.
@@ironlake8944 No I didn't. Please read my response. Without seeing the details of each course it would be impossible.
It really depends what you intend going with in the future career-wise. I'd advice operations and supply chain management. There are just tiny variations from the course content of each. Be warned that this course is very demanding also.
I will be finishing my BA in Psychology in 2 years, is a Masters in Supply Chain Management a good decision with this BA? Thinking of adding a statistics minor to sharpen my math skills.
Those are VERY Different fields of study and work! Which one are you more interested in?
@@supplychainsecrets I am currently an inventory manager and retail store manager (same place) so I have my foot in the SCM field. My previous manager was an operations manager with a BA in psych and I was an excise duty bookkeeper but started as a packer (got promoted based on my degree, no one else there despite being ten years older were working on higher ed). So the fields are not directly related but they are transferable. Any advice on how to proceed? I feel like an MBA isn't necessary until I'm a bit older.
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.
Supply Chain Secrets thank you for letting me know
thank you very much for the information! but i do have another question its a bachelor's degree in logistics and management thats three years what do u think about that? and after that probably take a master in service management and supply chain management do you think the companies would like this? sorry if my english is a little bit rusty not my first language and are writing this in a hurry.
Sounds like a great plan!

Hello sir...whts th scope in other country if I graduated in MBA in logistics and SCM from UPES India
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.

There are so many good schools around the World that's a tough question. I went to Cranfield in UK, regarded at the time as one of the top 10, but it doesn't seem to even rank anymore! Personally I would suggest a broader program, as you can get stock in Procurement (it is often regarded as it's own discipline) www.supplychaindigital.com/top-10/top-10-best-supply-chain-masters-courses-worldwide
As for essentials skills, Finance is still one! But now of course add to that AI, big data, analytics....
