Mike “Ace” McCarron’s Post

Posted 1 day ago, this job has 0 applicants, despite being promoted. Why? Because it’s an entry-level warehouse “picker” role. That’s it. It’s no different than every single other warehouse picking role in the world. Why are companies trying to church up role titles thinking that’s going to get candidates in the door? Meanwhile, no salary info. No shift info. Vague benefits info. Literally not one shred of information a rational job-seeker would want to see before applying (and I would bet their application process isn’t a breezy one). Am I the only one who finds these entry-level roles being “otherwise titled” extremely annoying?

When my Post Graduation got completed, my most of the batch mates got placed few of them with good organization. But I was struggling to get the job and my confience was getting down day by day I was job less for almost 9 months, was applying the jobs through different job portal. But was not getting calls from the manufacturing organisation, was making cold call to know about the available opening No company was calling even to appear for interview, Few calls I was got but it was for the sales domain for service sector I was not interested for sales domain, my interview was getting over on 2 questions “Kitta Layega aur Kaise Layega” after attempting few interview calls I came to know that Sales is not made for me. My friend informed me about short duration programs run by chamber of commerce (COC) for core profiles With the help of COC program I got my 1st job in my domain of Purchase and Supply Chain, In that organization I worked very hard, learned many new skills of procurement and vendor development still those skills helping me in my day to day #carrergrowth #struggle #storytelling #positivemindset

Wouldn't you agree...? Back when I was running a business and was responsible for promoting open positions within the company, reviewing applications, vetting qualified candidates, scheduling interviews and handling all of the onboarding and training, I had almost no time for all of the other responsibilities that came with running a business! If I had only known how easy it could have been to have someone handle the recruiting, vetting and initial interviews for qualified candidates so that I only had a small number of great candidates to review.

It has been a while since I have seen published supply chain job data so it would seem appropriate to share some findings as you: 📌 Prepare your job search. 📌 Ask for a raise in your current role. 📌 Do any kind of career planning. Some key takeaways from the article: - Purchasing managers have the highest median salary of supply chain jobs reported: $131,350. - The average median salary for supply chain jobs (regardless of level in the U.S.) is $90,812. - Logisticians have the highest 10-year projected growth rate (18%). - The supply chain jobs with the most openings are general and operations managers (35,000 job postings). - New Jersey, New York, and Washington offer the highest average salaries for supply chain jobs. - Vermont, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Minnesota ranked amongst the top for number of job openings by state per capita. There are interesting takeaways to get from this data based on where you live, future growth based on job title and the number of job openings by role.

Interview Preparation Tips for Warehouse Team Lead, Supervisor, Senior Supervisor, and Assistant Manager/Manager Position: 1. Understand the Company: Thoroughly research the company, whether it's a 3PL or a retail business. Understand their business model and tailor your self-introduction to align with their operations, highlighting relevant experiences from your previous roles. 2. Know Your Team and Targets: Be prepared to discuss the exact number of team members you've managed. Justify the number of employees in relation to daily targets, from inbound to outbound processes. 3. Confidence and Presentation: Present yourself confidently and maintain eye contact with the hiring manager. Avoid nervousness to make a strong impression. 4. CV Optimization: Ensure your CV is concise and relevant. Remove unnecessary information and focus on your roles, responsibilities, and achievements in previous positions. 5. Handling Unknown Questions: If you don't know the answer to a question, respond honestly without hesitation. 6. Warehouse Knowledge: Have detailed knowledge of your warehouse layout, including the count of pallet locations in each aisle. For e-commerce interviews, be familiar with your Turnaround Time (TAT), average orders processed/dispatched per day, and the bucket size of each order. #warehouseoperation #worklifebalance #Interviewtips

Me: So tell me about your experience working on a Top 4 Supermarket, negotiating JBP's & Promo Plans? Candidate: Oh, I have never worked with a supermarket or done a JBP. But I have lots of transferable skills. My experience lies within Project management of large scale construction projects. Me: 🙄....   Transferable Skills are great and an essential mix of any new role but literally everyone has them. What most hiring managers want are specific skills and experience that relate to the role, especially in sales and national accounts where relationships and customer dynamics are a key aspect.   Recruiting is about managing risk, in the world of consumer goods things move fast and new hires need to be able to get up to speed very quickly. If you are asking for £75k to manage the Tesco account which could be worth over £100m a year and you have less understanding of the dynamics and tactics than the £30k a year grad who does your admin you're not going to be anywhere near as desirable to a hiring manager as the lady who has done the job for 5 years at a peer company, has a detailed understanding of the customer, long standing relationships and is technically expert in the operational aspects of the role.   If your recruiter consistently sends you CV's with little to no relevant experience, maybe it's time to find a new one!

Why Did ALDI Turn Down My Wife for Stocker Role? What Went Wrong? Answers: https://lnkd.in/gc9dVS5v #JobSearchStruggles #CareerChallenges #SupportEachOther Hey there, everyone! 🌟 I wanted to share a tough experience my wife faced recently. She applied for a stocker position at ALDI, and while she seemed to get through the first screening round, unfortunately, she was turned down during the second interview. The feedback was that her skills just didn’t match what they were looking for. It's really disheartening to see someone you care about put in so much effort and still get rejected. I've faced my own share of job struggles in the past after being laid off, and I know how it feels to be in a dry job market. The only work I've managed to find lately has been through Taskrabbit, which has been decent for me, but it’s also not stable. Here are a few things I’ve noticed about the current job climate that make it so tough: High Competition: Many qualified candidates are vying for the same positions, which can lead to tough rejection after an interview. 💔 Skill Misalignment: Sometimes, even if candidates have great potential, hiring managers look for specifi...
