Searching For A Supply Chain Job: Our Top Tips

When you’re looking for a new job in the Supply Chain industry, you need a strategy that will help you make the most of every opportunity. Writing a good resume and sending it out to potential employers is part of the process, but it should not be the only way you engage with the search for your ideal role.

Here at CareerWise, we know that searching for the perfect job is easier if you take a multi-pronged approach. Talk to us about making the most of your experience and skills, and let us help you to find great roles that are ideally suited to you. Here is our guide to getting the most from your Supply Chain job search strategy:

How To Secure Your Ideal Supply Chain Job

Look at what you’re already doing. Look at the way in which you have been pursuing your ideal job so far and make a plan to develop this for the future. You should have specific, measurable goals that you constantly refer back to, and an action plan that allows you to track and record these goals.

Focus on your profile. The profile you share publicly on LinkedIn and other online platforms is vital to your networking success, and you should focus your efforts here. Seek professional advice on optimising your profile, and actively participate in groups and discussions that are relevant to your field.

Research potential new roles. It’s highly unlikely that the perfect job will fall into your lap, so take the time to research the companies you would like to work for and the positions you are interested in, and set up email job alerts in as many places as possible so that you will be contacted as soon as a good match appears. Working with a recruitment agency can help to connect you with the best new jobs more effectively, so talk to us at CareerWise today.

Be persistent. The old adage about ‘who you know’ isn’t entirely unfounded, and making yourself known to the companies you want to impress can only be a good thing. Call to introduce yourself and find out more about any potential employment opportunities, and take the chance to build a connection and ensure that your name is recognised for all the right reasons when you apply for a job in the future. The same advice applies to networking via professional associations and directories, so don’t undervalue the benefits of this.
