-: A bachelor's degree in business, in communications,
those are critical foundations.
Those are skills that are transferrable into any industry,
but specifically looked for and sought after
by recruiters and HR for supply chain organizations,
particularly the one I represent, JB Hunt Transport.
To go to the upper levels and to really step into
that next level role a master's
in business administration is critical.
It allows you to have exposure
to the financial side of the business,
an appreciation for business management skills
at a much more refined level,
advanced techniques for data analysis,
crunching those figures.
But they're not only just looking at an Excel spreadsheet.
Being able to take that and create deductions
for business leaders to implement everyday at the boardroom.
Go online and do some market research.
Find those organizations that are the leaders
in the industry and do your homework.
Learn what that organization's doing.
Where have they been?
A great place to go is their 10K.
You can learn a lot about a company in their 10K.
Make sure that your LinkedIn profile is updated
and best reflects what it is you'd like to offer.
And remember that the interview's a two-way street.
They're interviewing you to see if they're a fit,
if you're a fit for their organization,
but you're also interviewing the company
in a sense that you want to best make sure
that you're a fit as well,
that you could be happy and thrive there.
So culturally, what's their organization look like?
And one of the ways to find that out
is simply by asking at the end of an interview.
