Supply Chain Intern

June - August 2018 • Fort Worth, TX

What I liked

I loved the freedom that I had to seek out ways to add value in structured and unstructured ways. The people treated me really well.

What I wish was different

I wish that my internship had had a little more structure. I never had a central project to sink my teeth into.

Advice

Independent of your situation, you can make a difference as you strive to add value. You add value as you make things better, faster, cheaper, more efficient, less labor intensive, etc.

I worked directly with Clients on building the set up of the data hall.

What I wish was different

Coworkers, professionalism isn't always there. Other than that, loved it.

Random jobs you find on Ziprecruiter could end up with being asked to come from one of the clients and work directly for them.
