SPOTLIGHT ON A CANDIDATE…

IT’S NOT NECESSARILY GLAMOUROUS.  IT IS HARDWORK…BUT IT’S FUN!

Phew, listening to Mary, who has been in the industry for awhile, makes you want to get into a relatively unknown gem of the workforce – the freight industry…

Mary has been both an employer and a Team candidate and has worked for a number of companies within the industry, in international and domestic freight forwarding and logistics – so she’s seen it all.  It was clear from speaking to her how passionate and articulate she is about the industry and it’s easy to see why!  She had heaps to say about Team too which we haven’t shared (otherwise it might look like we have a really big head!)

Here are some of the highlights of being in the industry according to Mary!:

• No two days are the same, so you never get bored
• You really get to learn about a variety of businesses and business issues, so you get the benefit of getting to know about commerce
• The industry pays well
• Awesome training ground and quite a few courses are on offer
• It is an industry that promotes from within rather than externally
• Real opportunity for advancement
• It’s Fun dealing with overseas companies and you learn about different currencies and exchange rates
• Opportunities to transfer and travel internationally
• Fast paced, so really exciting

Geez, thanks Mary – it is kind of good to be reminded as to why we are all playing in this field!
