I was going to say my paycheck, but that would be everyone's motivation. Aside from that, the sense of accomplishment I suppose. I do feel a bit of pride when I get a lot of things done. It's difficult at times though because I feel like I'm hitting the dreaded burnout.

Yes, of course money is always first for me as well but yes I would say that accomplishment would be in my top 3 choices as well.

I like the way this job solves problems in making sure everything gets from Point A to Point B on time and in the right quantity. It is a critical piece of the overall puzzle. Helping the drivers have productive runs by finding additional loads for the return trip is also very satisfying.

Oh nice!!! That seems like a rewarding/fulfilling job right there!

Mine is the passion I have for my job. It took a lot for me to rise up to the position I have now, and I take great pride in it. That pride provides a lot of motivation for me.

Good job! You should take pride of what you have accomplished to get where you are today.

And I would say for myself the biggest motivator is helping out the clients/customs with their products coming in and out of our facilities as fast as possible. Some days can be brutal but I just stick with it and push through.

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?
