Looking for jobs in the logistics industry can be challenging, but if it’s your dream, there are ways to make it happen.
At Ignite Industrial Professionals, we help logistics workers find their dream jobs every day.
This field can be challenging and rewarding, and there are some industry specific things job seekers need to know.
Here are a few ways to land your logistics industry dream job.
- Update your resume. A top-notch resume is the best way to get yourself noticed and show employers all the skills and experience you bring to the table. This is why you should not just list past employers; instead, discuss your role with the company and be specific about it. Now is the time to brag as well. Talk about times you were a leader, teams you managed or money you helped save. Have certificates or other accomplishments? Definitely include them!
- Know the lingo. If you’ve been around logistics, you know there are specific terms and lingo used. The more of those you can include in your cover letter or resume the better!
- Prepare for the interview. Don’t just peek at the company’s website for 5 minutes before your interview. Make sure you can answer questions based on the job description provided and prepare yourself to show how your skills and talents would bring value to the company. Make sure you are on time, engaged and responsive.
- Consider utilizing a staffing agency like Ignite. The fact is, staffing agencies can help you get your foot in the door at your dream company – giving you a chance to show off your skills and get hired full time. If you are looking for a new job, consider temporary work because it often leads to permanent positions.
At the end of the day, a good staffing agency can help you find work you will love to do.
