Mark Doherty is a Director of Alexander Chapel Associates. A specialist sales recruitment company with a focus in IT sales jobs, logistics jobs and supply chain recruitment.
The supply chain job market in the UK has become more vigourous over the last decade. UK businesses across all industrial sectors are expanding into national and international markets. This pattern of growth means that all companies need to develop dynamic and mobile supply chain programmes. In order to facilitate the movement of raw materials and finished products, UK firms need to hire bright minds to fill their open supply chain vacancies. The job market is not only becoming broader, with more industries getting involved in the expansion of supply chains, but deeper with the rise of more middle and upper management positions.
The growth of the supply chain job market does not make it an easy market to break into, however. Graduates interested in working the supply chain need to be aware that there are high expectations for all of these positions. While sales and marketing professionals provide the public face of the corporate world, supply chain professionals keep the heart pumping full of new products. As such, graduates need to learn how to stand out from the crowd and land the best supply chain jobs available to them.
During the application process, there is a lot a young professional can do to ensure consideration of their credentials. Supply chain aspirants need to gear their responses and their application materials to the particular industry they are working within. If an application asks for relevant experience, applicants should not put down everything they think might be relevant to the general supply chain field. Instead, young professionals can put down their best job experiences and shape the language to fit with the goals of a potential employer.
A complete and comprehensive application is a demonstration that an applicant is capable of handling large amounts of information while having an attention to detail. The interview process, however, is where an applicant can shine. These sessions, whether they are one-on-one or within a group, allow a supply chain professional to demonstrate their logical thinking skills and their ability to communicate with diverse groups. As well, an applicant who has thought through possible questions about their past experience or why they feel they are uniquely suited for the job will have a better chance of landing the job after the interview. Finally, a supply chain applicant should be prepared to ask questions about the corporation or the potential job they would work within. An inquisitive and active mind is critical in supply chain positions and questions demonstrate competency to a hiring manager.
