Customer Obsession is key 👀

funny

"Obsession" lol... gotta love it

Know the industry. It makes no difference how skilled you are at your work. You won't advance very far if you can't attach it to the business's bottom line or apply it to how to make it better.

You don't know what you don't know. You won't actually be aware of the gaps in your knowledge unless they are pointed out to you, so make sure you are open to learning everything you can.

Be nice to everybody. Particularly in writing. It's impossible to predict who will be connected to whom, what information you'll need, or who will be speaking with the hiring manager at your next dream job.

Choose your circle. Avoid interacting with or being connected with unpleasant and whiny people. In addition to the effect on career, it promotes negativity at work. Associating with negative people makes working more unpleasant than it needs to be.

Beginning to feel at ease at work typically takes a year. Remember that no one ever understands everything right immediately, and simply keep learning.

The best piece of advice I have been given regarding work in the logistics industry is to be organized and stay focused on the task at hand. The industry is fast-paced and can be overwhelming if you don’t stay on top of things. Keeping track of deadlines, details, and schedules can be the difference between success and failure.

Trust your gut. If something doesn’t feel right but you are being told to do it anyway, have a paper trail for backup.

Tommorow i have l1 round of EXL for business analyst profile. Please suggest me what should i prepare the most? How is BA interview in exl

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
