Aight, so I'm about to graduate soon from uni with a degree in supply chain management and operations and I need to find a job. Does /biz/ have any recommendations on what to do?

For instance, what kind of skills should I mention on my CV, what kind of skills should I focus on, what should I be aware of etc.?

I'm an europoor so it might differ for the amerifriends

wtf do you even learn in supply chain management? What skills do you actually have?

Just put a bunch of buzzwords in your CV

I got a degree in Biochemistry cause I planned to go to medical school, but instead I got a job as a buyer, aka supply chain.
It's mostly learning how to manipulate your company's system for tracking shipments/supply.
It's very easy and there will be upper management beside you to fix any fuckups.
Include that you're a 'team player', you are 'quick with computers', you 'are a good mentor' etc.
Shit that makes you sound like NOT an autistic spastic.

I mean, it's a lot of technical shit. It's not a meme degree by any means. I also live in the Netherlands so this is a hotspot for logistics. I was just looking for some advice to improve my chances of getting a comfy job.

Like, popular softwares I should look into, coding languages that are sought after stuff like that

Could you be more specific? What are some popular buzzwords for logistics employees?

That sounds comfy tho. How can I get into it? I am obviously looking for an entry position so what should I look out for in order to get some career progression?

Companies don't care about what you know nearly as much as they care about how you show it.
You want to convey social competence on your CV.
You graduated uni, they know you're not a dummy.
Prove you are a PERSON rather than an emotionless robot.

>intuitive, autonomous, independent, determined, active, helpful, curious, logical
Don't forget who is reading your CV.

Mine is entry level, and it is very comfy.
You have to play the boomer game.
Think of all the memes about boomers, then sell yourself to them on your CV.

topkek. Thanks anon, that's unironically great advice! Is linkedin a good way to find jobs? (europoor here)

>> No.18300198

>>18300138
Yes I used LinkedIn to find my job.
I filtered to just see 'easy apply' and spammed my CV out to probably a hundred different postings.
Had plenty of interviews and chose the best offer.
Also, if you have ANY connections, ie. adults working in companies that you're interested in, reach out to them asking about hiring and include your CV.
Worst that can happen is they say we're not hiring right now.

The job hunt sucks, but keep trying and eventually someone will take a chance on you.
Don't disappoint.
