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

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
