Supply Chain Manager

The interviewer is trying to find out your key interests and whether the job offered has responsibilities you will dislike. Focus on what you particularly enjoyed in your last role and what you learned from it, drawing parallels to the new role. When addressing what you disliked, be conscious not to criticize your last employer. Choose an example that does not reflect on your skills (such as company size) or which reveals a positive trait (such as your dislike for prolonged decision making).

The interviewer is trying to find out your definition of 'difficult' and whether you can show a logical approach to problem solving. Select a tough work situation that was not caused by you. Explain the way you approached the problem, including the actions you took and the solution you applied to overcome the problem. Give your answer with the air of someone who takes setbacks and frustrations in stride, as part of the job.

The field is growing, and it's all still being figured out. Prior to my position, there was no supply chain analyst at Quality Bicycle Products. It's a growing field and it's becoming more of a necessity because everyone is trying to reduce waste and reduce their environmental impact. They are doing things that are good for the environment, but also good for the company's bottom line. Because of that, more and more colleges are now offering majors in logistics and supply chain planning, which wasn't as common when I was in school. I think these types of positions are going to continue to grow in the coming years.
