What do you spend more time doing for work, answering/making phone calls or answering/sending emails? To be honest, I am beyond tired of both.

Lol this is kind of the job we signed up for in logistics right? I guess I just don't think any other logistics job would be different.

funny

I feel so bad because I know you guys are busy and my job is to harass you over the phone and ask how you’re handling your logistics to try and win business lol

I actually hate that my work is like this but I'm in meetings 7 hours a day on average 😂. I need to then actually work. .

Working and then barely squeezing in enough time to answer phone and emails.

I feel like I'm constantly on the phone or writing emails. I'm sure many people can relate. Just yesterday, I spent my entire day going back and forth between calls and emails. It was exhausting and I'm ready for a break.

That's Logistics for you. I've been getting a lot of traction doing emails and media is a big help. But I understand your feeling a break is always needed to come back refreshed I wish you the best!🏁

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
