It was such an honour to get to present some job search strategies and insights with these students at SAIT. The future of Supply Chain Management in Calgary looks bright.
Yesterday, my Supply Chain students at SAIT got something rare. Not just a guest speaker. A gift!! Christine Martin walked into that room and gave them something most people spend years figuring out on their own. She shared a 5-step strategy for finding work in supply chain that was practical, actionable, and real. No fluff. Just a clear path forward for students trying to break into a competitive field. Then she opened the data. 1,351 unique supply chain job postings in the last 12 months. The top 50 companies actively hiring. Titles. Trends. Patterns. The kind of market intelligence that usually lives behind paywalls or in HR departments students never get access to. And then she stayed. She reviewed resumes. She gave honest feedback. She talked about interviewing and networking like someone who actually wants these students to succeed, because she clearly does. Christine, thank you. Your time is valuable. Your expertise is hard-won. And you chose to share both with a room full of people at the very beginning of their careers. That’s the supply chain community at its best.
