I live in the United States. I started as an order puller when I was 17 years old. A couple of years later I got a job as a forklift driver. I went back to school at a community college at the age of 28. I got an associates degree in logistics and supply chain management. Once I got my degree I worked as a customer service rep/order processor. I recently just got a job as an assistant logistics manager, making 20k MORE per year than my previous position!
My suggestion: start somewhere in this industry. (Order puller, inbound/outbound, forklift, dock worker, etc..). Get an associates in business/logistics/supply chain. Find a better paying job. Then work on your bachelors online while working full-time. Then when you get your bachelor's, try to move up!
Yes.. it's a grind. But it's worth it!
Great to hear your story and well done! Yes, start somewhere...........and move up.
Thank you
You are a real role model for Never Give Up Attitude, Sir.
Can I get your Instagram name?
Thanks so much, wish I can talk with you personal
Surround yourself with people in the industry, buy them drinks and invite them to events. Then get insights from them on how to get qualifications

Getting a Job in Supply Chain and Logistics. Please do share your own tips below! Let's help those who are looking.
Thank you sir! This is my first time to this channel and thank you for the information :)
You are very welcome
thanks for an awesome sharing, Sir!
My pleasure
Thanx
Very neat and clean explanation.
Glad it made sense.
great video interviewing today for a supply chain analyst job every little bit of information helps im currently in logistics operations looking to get more on the data side
Glad it was helpful
Also please consider doing a video on soft skills required to enter the field. Like the importance of excel or sap or cargo wise. I am a former Chef currently in my first warehouse job and I ve come to realise the importance of excel. And as a chef I barely used excel. So time to upskill. Please suggest more short soft skills.Thanks and again, great work.
Great idea. I might get some of my team together on a group video........
Excel is easy-mainly learn WMS.
What made you leave the cooking industry?
@@imikec so which WMS to learn as there are multiple companies making WMS software.
Hey! Love the content of the channel. I'm very interested in jobs that could potentially become a remote position in the supply chain area. Could you make a vid on that?
That's an interesting area. So many Supply Chain jobs became work from home in the last few years. Particularly roles like planning.
Sir thank you so much for making this video and I think this video is always helpful for my future career.
Glad it was useful
Thank you for the video :-)
My pleasure!
Hi sir, thanks for sharing this video. I was one of those jobseeker who struggle with unemployment, life, jobs, etc. I used to be unemployed for quite some time. I came from a Science background(Biology). In my country, jobs for science graduate are not that many (but the graduates are getting more & more), even if there is, it requires experience to apply. Then i work for odd jobs here & there, as cashier, barista, factory operator, etc. I can't afford to restart my education background to get another costly degree. Its really frustrating. After applying to so many jobs & industries, luckily, i got a logistics related job. Its like a lifesaving moment for me when so many industries rejected me, but the Supply Chain industry accepted me. Now, its been years working & i plan to get a CMILT qualification. Btw I just realized that the CEO of the company that I work, was of Science background(Neurobiology). He is Frank Appel. I really want to be like him 1 day. Sorry for the long writing haha
Best of luck to you!
How did you step into the door of supply chain. Do you think it is a good idea to start as a warehouse operator picker and packer, if there is no other choice ?
Hey! Can I ask what is the starting position did you get? I am looking to get started also. Thank you
Thank you!
You're welcome!
thanks for the video sir, iam new to this. industry hope i can go far with this to make my future better
Best of luck!
Hi Rob, nice video. Would you consider doing a video on tips to get a job in Australia specifically. Perhaps naming the courses or networking events.
Sure. I might get one of the leading Industry Associations and a recruiter involved in that.
Looking fwd to it.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Dear Rob, thank you for this video. It actually works, and your support and guidance did help me to get a job in Supply Chain. So, I am immensely grateful for your encouragement!
Well done! When are we doing an interview LOL
@@supplychainsecrets whenever you are available))) I would love to meet you again)
This is excellent. I am australian so even more helpful. I want to get into an admin related role in the logistics supply chain industry. There are entry level roles but even they are hard to get into. I would like to start at the bottom in the meantime like you suggested, although most warehouseing roles require heavy lifting and as a small female thats me out straight away ! Im not sure how else i could get my foot in the door though?
There are many warehousing roles, such as order picking that do not involve heavy lifting.
Thanks
hope it helped......
Bba is good for become a supply chain manager🎉
Yes, a good strat......
Thank you for your valuable advices mr Rob!!!! Probably you can also make a topic on how to get first internship in logistics branch? Because I am 19 years old young specialist, who study 2nd course logistics of procurement and distribution in Poland. I have motivation to find it, but I can not do that😞. I study really good (average point 4.95/5 in University), know at least 4 different languages, have attractive cv and always write motivation lists to companies I apply in. But the problem is that I have no result. If it is possible, can you advice me something in comments or make a video about that problem. Again, thank you for your great videos!
Just be persistent and don’t take rejection personally. Keep at it!
Hello Sir. I follow your channel for the great content. Can you do a video on supply chain consulting challenges and tips?
I'm not sure that really fits with our content strategy, but let me think about it.
I agree with everything you mentioned, except a networking networking in my experience, is the biggest waste of time. There’s absolutely no guarantee that you will ever get results in my personal anecdotal experience networking has been a large expenditure of energy with little to no results. Think of it this way if you’re not qualified, no matter how good your networking is, you’re not going to get the position. Instead, focus on qualifications certifications experience, then whether you have network power or not, you are a strong candidate.
I would agree, that if you are not qualified, networking may not be as useful. But if you are not qualified for a role, any job hunting strategy will be tougher. I still maintain, that networking is one of the most powerful ways to secure a job. At least in the countries I have worked in. UK, Australia.
Hello, and thank you very much for the advice. I have a question regarding the industry as we're sort of / kind of coming out of the pandemic. As of today, how impacted is the logistics and supply chain industry by the pandemic for someone, like me, who's looking to get into this field on the side? I have a current job transcribing audio interviews in various industries, and supply chain and logistics has come up a lot, which made me interested in the first place. Will I encounter difficulty in getting my foot in the door in this current time?
I think the Pandemic has thrown the spotlight on Supply Chain in a very positive way. It's now getting a lot more attention and remains a great long term career.
Rob, what i meant by hot skills for example - Sales force is for CRM , SAP ERP SAP S& D and other facets of SAP are a part of supply chain. For australia at the moment for 2021-2022 which skills recruiters are looking in the candidates profile for a supply chain graduate
I think that is really a question for a recruiter. I'll get one on the chanel very soon.
@@supplychainsecrets Thanks rob.
@@supplychainsecrets Any update on this Rob?
Hi Rob. Thank you for the video. I would be graduating soon with MSc in SCM and PM from University of Wollongong sydney campus. I have got 4 years of experience in customer facing role of supply chain . Could you please let me know what are the hot skills for a supply chain graduate in australia ?
I would suggest data modelling and dynamic forecasting.
I have got associte degree in logistik but most employer Only looking for expereince, i dont know what to do h😢😢😢😢😢
That first job is really important to get some experience. Don't worry too much about what it is, as long as it's Logistics related. Packing orders in a warehouse is a start....
thanks so amazing
Glad you like it!
I didn't consider that I could add the 2 years I worked in a warehouse as experience for applying for supply chain management jobs!
It's good 'hands on' experience........
#1 go to school and get a certificate or degree on supply chain.
Yep, that certainly helps. But some ground floor experience will help too
Probably going to go unnoticed but i would like to share my story and my dream.
About to finish my 2 year diploma in supply chain management coming summer of 2024, since 2022 i have worked at the bottom of the supply chain and i still am, currently i am a shipper/receiver for a auto parts store, i have worked jobs like package handler for fedex and other warehouse jobs, after i graduate i will look for a better job ofcourse and i know i will get it… hopefully one day i will be at the top of the supply chain.. and i hope everyone else makes it too… its a grind and a tough one.
Wishing you every success, I'm sure you'll do great 🙂
@@supplychainsecrets thank you so much i will come back to this video and comment section when times have changed.
Thank you very much for your suggestions. but for a experienced logistics manager with more than 10 years of experience in field of Logistics and Supply chain in Iran, unfortunately we have not a wide range of companies who know about the importance of knowledge and experience in this field. and when your knowledge and experience pushes you( to be an immigrant to other countries) to know more and make more values for the world, unfortunately a Stop Sign comes up and say, NO, You Are IRANIAN- you can not Enter, We do not supply you to have Working VISA. for more than 4 years I tried to change my region and after more than 100 application I have sent with cover letters, there is no acceptance for the first online interview.
Sorry to hear of your difficulties. Don't give up!
I'm starting up a trucking company. Who do I speak with within a company to haul their goods ?
My focus is on the Healthcare industry.
Same answer. The contact will vary from company to company. Depends on size, industry, structure. Could be procurement, logistics, transportation or in small companies the warehouse manager.
What's a good leap from scheduling and planning in an unrelated industry? I manage both resource and tasks to meet deadlines for an end to end process. I'm already in a senior position though my salary is low - around 28k. Can I jump in sideways or will I still have to start at the bottom?
Generally you should be able to jump 'sideways' to a different industry. Many do.
I recently moved to USA.I have been going to interviews and i have been consistently told I am over qualified. its been frustrating. I have a Masters in Procurement and Contract Management, Bachelors in Purchasing and Supply Management and CIPS Certification.
Maybe apply for more senior roles?
Started my job as a Junior Logistic Officer from a BA Degree next week. Is there any advice for me to give the "right" impression to the people I work with?
Looking for to hear your answer
Listen more than you speak 🙂
As always very precisely explained.
But Sir, only 1 question. Networking is no doubt one of the strongest links in a Job Hunt.
But how not be presented as a job beggar, how do preserve self-respect? As most people treat it as doing an obligatory favor for job seekers.
Networking is not about self promotion. It's just about meeting people. And maybe casually mention the type of job you are looking for. Maybe ask for some advice?
NOW IT IS ALL ABOUT CONNECTIONS, QUALIFICATIONS DOES NOT COUNT EVEN IN LARGE ENTERPRISES AND FIRMS, this is the fact and reality.
I would say that qualifications help you get the interview and get shortlisted. And relevant experience of course. But networking helps you find out about jobs before they are even advertised.
I will be starting up a 3rd party logistics warehouse,with a focus on Healthcare.
Who do I speak with within a manufacturing and/or shipping company in order to ship their goods ?
Same answer. The contact will vary from company to company. Depends on size, industry, structure. Could be procurement, logistics, transportation or in small companies the warehouse manager.
Hello...thank you for the video that's really amazing. Great appreciation. I would like to know whether having banking experience in international trading and master's degree will be suitable to switch the career to supply chain ?. Your reply means a lot to me.thanks again.
It will help, but I would add some Supply Chain related education if you can. Even some short courses.
it would help me in procurement
Best of luck!
Are there any books that you would recommend that provide great insight in the supply chain management?
It's a very broad topic. Are there any specific aspects that interest you?
Hello , i am one of the those who really like your videos and watching them , thank you for the professional explanations, BUT as i am working for NGO which is non profit organization, do you have any videos in this regards.
An NGO Supply Chain and Logistics operates in just the same way. With a focus on maintaining good service and reducing costs.
Where in Canada is the best place to get a job in Supply chain? I am looking into schools there to do a 1 years supply chain management program and I would also like to live there afterwards
Maybe ask a Canadian? Sorry I don't live there.
Sir Could you please explain me what are the duties usually delegated to supply chain management undergraduates during their internship.
That's an impossible question. 🙂 Depends on the company, industry, department and what they would like you to help with. Don't panic. I'm sure it will be interesting!
@@supplychainsecrets Ok sir got it.Thank you 🤝
Hi Rob. I have been binge watching your videos. Great content! I have been in supply chain for about 10 years and am looking for advancement. Most positions I like require experiences of large data set analysis and hands on knowledge of ERP such as SAP, both I am not able to acquire from my current job. What would you advise I could do to overcome this?
Are there any short courses you could do? Or get another part time job that gives you this experience?
Hello, im an italian student 26yo syudying a technical course (not in university) on logistics and supply chain operation managment....
I'm looking forward to move in melbourne after getting my degree, could you please give me advise on how to find a job in this industry as a foreigner entry level??
I'm sorry but I'm not able to give 1 on 1 coaching or advice, as I'm not a recruiter or Visa expert and every case is different, but you should find some good tips in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLAI2rbd3NwK5tgIQeNNkNAe47GDOqyqpb.html
Is an undergraduate degree in SCM useful for finding a good job right out of university? Places like in Calgary, will there be enough demand?
You would need to talk to recruiters i that market.
Hai I have experience in customs clearance and fright forwarding in logistics how can I apply jobs in abroad
Getting a Visa is a major challenge. Maybe try getting a job wit a local Multi National and then apply to transfer?
Can u give an idea on the avg entry level salary of a supply chain professional in austrailia
Not really. It depends on the industry, the role...
Hello professor..currently i am working in a trading company in logistics. I know what kind of documents we need to get shipment cleared in customs and about freight etc. Could you please suggest me a any course or any website for finding better job?
I have to confess that is not my area of expertise but I will see if one of my team can answer for you. For job hunting I always recommend networking with local industry associations and also of course, reach out to people on LinkedIn.
Hello sir which one is a great course between business administration and procurement purchasing and supply chain degree.
Sorry that is too broad a question and really depends on what type of jobs you want and what the market requires in your area.
Hii sir. Im currently pursuing mba supply chain management. Can you please tell me what softwares should i learn to get my first job easily please😢
Be great on spreadsheets and Power BI is a popular tool
regarding qualifications, do you think that the APICS CLTD certification is of value for your resume?
Yes, it's well recognised.
@@supplychainsecrets okay thanks! do you think it would be something attractive to have on my resume as a 1st year college grad?
Hello Rob. Thank you for all the videos and efforts. I have done my masters in Int'l SCM in Rotterdam. And its my 6th jobless month since I finished my internship. I am actively applying but nothing returned. I started to feel expired although I am being interviewed and approached by recruiters, but still no luck. What skills do you suggest to develop in order to gear up my qualifications in the job market during this time in the world? Any other advice?
Thank you Rob.
Just keep applying. Maybe do practice interviews with some senior people you know and get some feedback?
Don’t be afraid to apply internationally!
Hyy bro did you find any job and how's the carrier in SCM as I'm looking for this course to pursue in supply chain management and what do you think 🤔
@@warfire2299 yes its my 6th month now. A supply chain planner in an international chemicals company in Europe.
Try to get hold of the practice and applications that you learn from school..
@@adnanal-sakkaf1205Congo for job bro,and thnx for your positive suggestions bro,and what extra skills do i need to learn because I have some leisure period of 6months prior to starting my course,so what's skills should I learn like Excel,sap anything you could suggest which would be helpful to me a lot,and what's your current salary bro 🤔
Can you guide me with Recruitment agencies in USA for logistics senior positions please
I'm sorry I don't know any in the US.
@@supplychainsecrets no problem..thanks 😊
How does getting a six sigma black belt help? I am software developer and have always wondered if getting this would help
It could. All depends on what the potential employer is looking for I guess. What other business qualifications do you have?
@@supplychainsecrets I have an Engineering degree
Would you say that a degree in Management Information Systems will supplant a Supply Chain degree?
Depends if you want to work in IT or Supply Chain?
I want to start this course of Supply Chain and logistics as well, Can someone tells me more about it ? Am I going to face many calculations? Or it’s a pure theoretical one?
Which course are you referring to? Generally studying Supply Chain & Logistics involves a lot of calculation / analysis.
How far can someone with just a certification from APICS get in this field? Is there a chance to get a good paying job with just the certification and no degree?
I would say Yes, it's possible. Obviously depends on the region, country, industry etc
Hello sir thanks for the content but i wish to take this course supply chain shipping management and logistics and I'm a high school graduate please what will be your advice to me
I'm not sure what your question is. If you want to take that course, find a local course and do it.
Hi Sir. I have a bachelors degree in accounting and an MBA , I have been working as a financial analyst. I would like to switch my career path to supply chain management, What is your advise for me
I'm not sure what advice you are looking for sorry. If you want to switch, try applying for Suply Chain related jobs and see how you go.

Hi sir, thank you for the amazing content. I am currently put in between choosing an undergrad degree in Supply chain management from university of Wollongong and university of Griffith. I know that a degree is just that basic basic thing to get you started but as an international student, I truly want my money to be well invested, so I would deeply appreciate your advice, like which has better employability, better reputation among employers and such. Also, should I study bachelor's Honours or go straight to a Master's degree? Thank you so much.
Hey june, do you study at UOWD by any chance?
@@contentfarm5297 it's UOW australia sir
Very hard to advise with a detailed knowledge of each University, the current programs, and how they are regarded by industry. I would pick the course and University that 'feels' right for you. What's in the program, the location, all of it. Re Bachelor v Masters? Most would do Bachelor first, get some experience and then do Masters. I never had the opportunity to read for a Bachelor degree and ended up doing a Masters later in life.
@@supplychainsecrets you're amazing. thank you so much💚
Hi, I just graduated from Griffith Uni in Supply Chain. I love the courses and the teaching team there, but I actually still feel that what I've learn regarding Supply Chain is too broad and general, and I'm still kinda struggling to find a job after graduation now
Hi mr.rob, I have one question.. Any other bachelor degree ( mechanical or civil) can apply for logistics and SCM job ... How could you see this in your vision as a supply chain management person
It will depend on the company and role. If I was looking for a Supply Chain person and I had 5 to pick from, and 2 have a Supply Chain degree, it might influence me to look at them more favorably. Might...

Hi I’m a sophomore college looking to become an international supply management I wanna know if I’m going be traveling with a bachelors degree or you recommend me to get my master degree for a better opportunity to travel
Take it step by step. You need to balance qualifications with experience. All the degrees in the World are useless if you can't apply the knowledge.
Can I do global supply chain management of 1 year graduate certificate after doing international business management. Is it good way to becom successful in Supply chain and logistics. Pls reply sir .,🙏
One of those impossible questions really. Too many factors to consider. Industry, country, past experience, future plans. Go with what 'feels' right to you.
Hello sir, I am a graduate in Bachelor of Commerce and I have been working as a warehouse assistant for 7 months now. I would like to know if it is better to do a Bachelor's or Master's in SCM with my qualification. Thank you in advance.
Rather than another Bachelor Degree, why not go for a Masters?
@@supplychainsecrets Thank you Sir for your speedy response. I got admitted into the Master's program but I am confused if the program will cover everything from scratch and also some of the modules look completely new to me, for example: Big Data, Game Plan, etc. Please advice. Thank you.
Hi Sir, I am planing to pursue MS in SCM at UTD, I have done my Undergraduate in Mechanical engg. But I don't have any experience in Supply chain field. So should I go with MS in Supply chain ?????
Maybe try to both. MS and experience.
I'm a student pursuing Master's in global supply chain management at Brunel University London I can know what to do sir I'm confused some people advices me to Go look for jobs in technical like SAP or SQL some people ask me to study and score good marks ...

Yes, it can be very confusing and there seem to be so many options. But a career is for a long time. So go with what 'interests' you rather than what others tell you.
I completed MBA in retail marketing. so can I join in logistics
Sure. But maybe get some kind of qualification or certification in Logistics too.

*What we do in supply chain?? ? ?*
Just look at some of the other videos on the channel. Like “What is Supply Chain”?
I really don't understand why everyone sees influence over talent. Many talented people might not have influence or network. I believe they should be given a chance to prove themselves but they end up getting an automated email from the company.
Yes, it's really tough isn't it? I have to say when I advertise a position, 90% of the applicants don't meet the clear criteria as advertised. that can be a bit frustrating for the employer too. But I think common courtesy requires a decent reply! (not an automated one). Regarding talent / influence / network, I still maintain that networking is really important. It's about making 'connections' in the industry, not really influence.
@@supplychainsecrets I agreee on networking, but a lot of people are really not willing to help, they would not reply as people don't have any connections. I have 900+ connections in linkedIn still people would not reply to a post when I say I need a job.Some of them are international though.
Hello Mr Mob! My Name is Sasi Kumar, from South India! I'm 27 and have bachelor's in mechanical engineering with a 5.5 year's good industrial Experience in the supply chain(sourcing, procurement and planning) in the automotive industry and now am going to pursue MSc in Supply Chain Management in Aston University Birmingham UK., After master's can i head back to engineering job's! In January I'm going! So while studying i should be prepared! What's your take and what skills should I have process extra!?. Please reply
Just one question. If you want to get back into Engineering, why are you studying Supply Chain?
@@supplychainsecrets I've worked in a automotive industry, 99% of the components outsourced and my role is to ensure the quality standards with minimal cost from best suppliers. So i went into master's in supply chain& engineering management course
With engineering knowledge can work out the cost, specifications and certain decisions. So , in this contemporary world, multiple discipline skills are required for a sustainable growth, companies are cost cutting with firing employees, so a multidisciplinary skills are needed, so that's why? Anything wrong?? What's your take?

I am going to college for a 4 year business admin degree. I am currently debating on focusing on supply chain management.
In America I’ve discovered the software SAP Materials management is huge for this line of work. It has given me the impression though that this line of work will be a lot of screen time doing data entry in the SAP software system.
Is this true for entry level positions?
After promotion to a supply chain manager, in general how much do you think they spend in the SAP software? Or whatever software it would be.
It seems like an exiting career in that you are involved in a wide aspect of the business.
Thanks for your time!
I think most 'management' jobs involve a lot of screen time these days. It's a large part of how we communicate and monitor the business. Don't overthink entry level positions though. Things and your interests will change during your career. Getting started is the key. (SAP is only one of the popular systems used)
I m MBA in supply chain form India..can I get job in Canada or Australia?
Thanks rob
You really need to get professional Visa advice. It's hard. Please understand there are thousands of locals in those countries already with the same qualification.
And need a little bit luck:)
Very true!
I want to talk with u if u can?
Feel free to reach out via LinkedIn. Though I can't help with finding jobs, sorry. I get a lot of requests for that!
You forget references.
I'm a bit 50/50 about references. Any references that a Candidate provides, will be good ones. I tend to use my own network to find other references...
Thanks
My pleasure
