Competences of the ideal candidate
Employers expect from a potential employee, first of all, a very good knowledge of a foreign language (English and other than English), fluent use of MS Office programs, experience in the same or a similar position, higher education, knowledge of SAP R3 or GBS. The candidate should be characterized by openness, communicativeness, willingness to continuous development and learning, commitment to entrusted tasks and reliability. The key is good organization of own work, independence, readiness to perform several tasks at the same time, the ability to make quick decisions, the ability to work in a team, focus on achieving goals and the ability to think analytically
The demand for all services related to transport is constantly growing. Therefore, logistics is a field that will continue to develop. Proper preparation for the profession is extremely important, so every future specialist in the described field, instead of asking how much a logistician earns, should think about what qualities a good employee in this field is characterized by. It should be noted that the lack of predisposition does not mean that the road to practice the profession is closed - adds Agnieszka Grzegorczyk, Team Leader, Antal Engineering & Operations.
