Hello Everyone, im a full time student going for my BA in Finance. I am expected to graduate fall of 2025. I’m trying to pivot into a procurement / supply chain entry level role.

What tips would you recommend to get me a head start in that industry? I currently work in back office / transfer operations at a brokerage firm. I really would appreciate any insight/advice. Thank you in advance.

Your resume focuses too much on responsibilities. It should capture accomplished and have more numbers/metrics/KPI’s.

Thank you for that feedback! I think thats a great idea, im still a newbie so i appreciate that. What resposibilities do you think i can include metrics for? At my current job im measured by call quality, call adherence, resolution, and i am meeting/exceeding expectations but not too sure how to implement it in the resume.

Supply chain rocks! What do you want to do in supply chain / procurement? Material planning, supplier management/contracts, logistics, etc? I think it depends on how to word your resume.
