Absolutely, it's a key part of the Supply Chain process. I worked in Logistics and warehousing before becoming a Supply Chain Planner.

You’re already in it! 😄 Once you have logistics & warehousing experience, a lot of supply chain specialist/associate/analysts roles require that experience, so you could apply to those

Of course. Warehouse experience can help you develop skills in organizing and tracking inventory, which are important skills for SCM roles.

Awesome! Looking forward to making steps toward switching roles within the next few years. Is there any advice you could offer?

Of course! It's always helpful to be familiar with every step of the supply process. Personal experience in warehouse work is a huge benefit!

Yes, it’s highly sought after experience for roles like: supply chain operations specialist/analyst/associate. You’d be able to apply after 1-2 yrs. I’d suggest during this time to get your excel skills down (YouTube) since SCM is usually very focused on numbers and reports.

Absolutely! Super valuable experience! Helps provide a better understanding of warehousing and logistics capabilities and challenges experienced at these locations.

Great! I thought it would be useful to know what it's like to work on this side of the process if I ever made the switch

From my experience, I’m not sure why to add, but it hasn’t helped me. I’ve been applying to hundreds of jobs and I have over 2 years of experience. I have nothing but rejections in my inbox.

It makes sense. I’ve been trying to leave my current company and applied to over 1K jobs and I got rejected to every single one.

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
