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

      That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.

      The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit.
