Objective: apply skills and competencies learnt in this class to jobs in the field. 1. Find a job posting related to Supply Chain Management (doesnt have to be local) - preferred to find something you are interested in. Examples: a. Procurement/Sourcing Coordinator/Specialist/Agent b. Logistics Coordinator/Specialist/Agent c. Inventory Coordinator/Specialist/Agent d. Supply Chain Coordinator/Specialist/Agent e. Distribution/Fulfillment Coordinator/Specialist/Agent 2. From the job posting, identify 3 competencies required and relevant to the role (can be technical or behavioral - please choose at least one of each). Examples of competencies related to roles on Scorecards in Moodle. 3. For each of the 3 competencies, explain: a. Your experience with those skills (can be directly related to another work related role you have held, experience as a student with that skill) You can add these skills to your future Cover Letter! Your cover letters should be specific and relevant to the job you are applying for. Sometimes your previous work experience isnt directly applicable to the job you are applying for, but your cover letter enables you to showcase the fact that you still have the skills required to do the job. The scorecard examples provided in Moodle are real case examples of employee performance. These scorecards are used in the hiring process - once a scorecard is generated for a role, specific questions are created for each of the outcomes and competencies so that you are able to compare different candidates against each other.
