As of the early summer of 2018, the U.S. had racked up 92 consecutive months of job growth. That suggests a wealth of opportunities for college graduates seeking a career in supply chain. Nevertheless, it can be a challenging world in which to find a foothold. What kind of college degree carries the most credibility? Which skills are companies looking for? Which ones, exactly, are looking to fill supply-chain positions? These and many other questions are answered on this episode by Tisha Danehl, vice president of Ajilon, the staffing and recruitment firm. She offers expert insight into how young people can break into the supply-chain field, a discipline that remains unfamiliar to a large section of the general public. Even today, the rules for excelling in that area are changing. Danehl explains what job candidates need to know get hired. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Managing Editor of SupplyChainBrain.

Look for a new episode of the podcast, which can be downloaded or streamed, every Friday on the SupplyChainBrain website and iTunes.
