    "The term "financial skills" covers a range of activities that a professional buyer or procurement executive needs to have if they are to deliver value for money and manage commercial risk for their organisation. However, these skills are not always covered by conventional training which means that a buyer could be creating needless exposure both for themselves and their career as well as their organisation."

    * If you can't speak to how you calculated a certain number on your resume, leave it out. Better safe than sorry. 2) Size Matters - Every supply chain is different, especially in size, scope and complexity. Likewise, every supply chain job is different, in size, scope and complexity. As a Supply Chain Recruiter, I'm not just looking for someone that meets the basic and preferred qualifications contained within the job profile I'm recruiting against. * To play it safe, be sure to include this critical information in your resume. 3) Top & Bottom Lines - We absolutely love to read how you've improved service levels while lowering costs for your employers or customers. Positively impacting the bottom line is typically a top focus for supply chain professionals. We also love to read about the things you've done to help improve the top line of an organization. Enabling growth is just as important as cutting costs, and for many high-growth companies, it's even more important. Be sure to detail what you've done to improve both bottom and top line performance from a supply chain perspective, and don't forget to quantify your results. 4) End-to-End - It's very important these days to convey to Supply Chain Recruiters and Hiring Managers that you possess knowledge and/or experience that spans across multiple functions within the supply chain. This doesn't mean that you need to physically work in a different job within each and every department of your company's supply chain. Whether you choose to be a specialist within one area of the supply chain, such as Transportation for example, or a generalist is totally up to you.

  • The United States is saddled with a high unemployment rate and many experienced people are seeking jobs right now. Even so, companies will confront a serious shortage of supply chain talent, warns the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Center for Transportation and Logistics in a white paper titled "Are You Prepared for the Supply Chain Talent Crisis?"
  • The supply chain talent shortage will stem from a combination of layoffs and a changing skill set needed for the job. Companies that shed staff during the depth of the economic downturn may soon need to rehire practitioners, some of whom will have found work in other areas or at competing firms, analysts wrote.
  • The report notes that finding qualified individuals remains challenging, even though the supply of candidates has grown due to the increase in more specialized supply chain management programs at colleges and universities. One way to help address the talent shortage, the report's authors suggest, would be to raise the level of awareness of the profession in order to encourage more young people to enter the field.
