Tomorrow I am going to a campus-wide job fair with hundreds of big name companies being present there. I'm a supply chain management student and I'm proactively seeking an internship. For those who work in SCM or in a corporate setting in general and do hiring, do you have any suggestions for me on how to stand out and get an email back/interview? I know how to dress, act, etc. but am looking for pointers on what to say about myself.

Also, are there any logistics or similar companies in Charlotte who are looking for interns? Can't find anything with my job searches other than the firm SCP works for.

Know the company you are talking to. Companies want to see that you want to be a part of their organization and that you fit. They don't want the general "I can do this job for ______ company" mentality. They want to know why you are a fit for them and what you are going to do to make them proud if you receive an internship.

 

Aside from that, be confident and don't be afraid to stop talking. A big mistake interviewees make is talking excessively. Many interviewers will even sit in silence for a second just to see if you are going to try to fill that silence.

I work in system delivery of supply chain solutions and I think one nuance you may want to emphasize is the ability to leverage systems  to glean and analyze information.I think when possible try to be well rounded.   I don't hire but generally think a lot of the HR folks at these things don't know anything about SCM even if they say they do. 

 

Good luck

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
