How to get hired as a supply chain and logistics manager in 2025

99% of people apply for supply chain jobs the wrong way.

They update their resume.
They apply for 100+ jobs.
They hope for the best.

And then they wonder why they’re not getting interviews.

Here’s the truth:

Getting hired as a Global Supply Chain or Logistics Manager isn’t just about applying.

Let me share what I learned with you after
- researching active SCM jobs on here
- speaking to hiring managers

It’s about positioning yourself as the perfect candidate.

The problem?

Most people don’t know how to:

❌ Highlight the right skills that hiring managers look for
❌ Prepare for interview questions that test leadership and problem-solving
❌ Differentiate between supply chain and logistics roles to target the right career path

That’s why I created these cheat sheets.

They take years of supply chain research and boil it down into bite-sized, easy-to-use resources.

Reframing Risk Management

Risk management isn't about avoiding risk; it's about sharing it strategically. Many businesses approach risk management by:

- Trying to handle everything alone
- Panicking during crises
- Depleting resources on unexpected events
- Becoming vulnerable when they need strength

Smart leaders build resilience by:

- Creating strategic partnerships
- Distributing risk systematically
- Maintaining capacity during crises
- Emerging stronger when competitors falter

Reinsurance is about sharing responsibility, like sharing the risk of a giant ice cream cone falling or a sandcastle facing the tide. By distributing risk, businesses can build strength and resilience.

Let's rethink risk management together.

Drones can be a valuable addition to transportation options, particularly in areas where traditional transportation methods are limited or inaccessible. They can be used to transport small packages, medical supplies, and even food to remote or hard-to-reach areas.

However, as i mentioned, drones are not capable of transporting humans, which limits their use in search and rescue operations or medical evacuations. They can, though, be used to quickly transport medical supplies, blood, or other essential items to support emergency response efforts.
