What general advice would you give to a Logistics Consultant?
Warren Beeler: 1. Work hard, 2. be a good listener and learn. 3. be a team player
What Logistics Consultant skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Warren Beeler: 1. Communications or social skills, 2. a knowledge of logistics (tracking and traceability)
What will help Logistics Consultants increase their earning potential?
Warren Beeler: Be a good example, team members are measured by their effort, passion, knowledge and positive attitude. The example you set by doing things you don't have to is why projects are successful. That example gets notice. Enthusiasm and a positive attitude are contagious with co workers and make the work place productive and gets noticed. Success is earned. Earn your money and salary bumps should follow..
How do you envision technology impacting Logistics Consultants in the next 5 years?
Hilary Walrod: I envision that continual technological development - and widespread use of digital technology - will yield increasing opportunities to apply art and design skills in the field of interactive design.
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Logistics Consultants to find work opportunities?
Christopher Blake Ph.D.: If you had asked me last year, I would say that several places a graduate could find ample work opportunities. Any city with a Federal Reserve Branch Bank is a safe bet for those interested in public policy. The private sector is always looking for qualified economists to help with data analysis, modeling, and strategy. While there is still decent demand for those with strong communication, modeling, and data skills, the movement to more remote work makes it more likely a graduate can find a job anywhere. This may be one of the few positives from this job market cycle, relative to last year's, as there will be many jobs that no longer ask that one moves to the job's physical location.
Digital "places" are then perhaps more critical. For academic and research jobs, always keep an eye on the Job Openings for Economists list through the American Economic Association website (https://www.aeaweb.org/joe/listings?). A handful of other sites are devoted to academic and research jobs, though these are used less frequently (EconJobMarket comes to mind: https://econjobmarket.org/). Outside of academic and research positions, the world is truly your oyster - as they say. Remaining active on job boards, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms, and even checking specific large company websites can all prove valuable sources to find work opportunities. There will always be a demand for strong candidates who can understand the plethora of data collected these days.
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Logistics Consultants to find work opportunities?
Elizabeth Gordon: Almost every type of organization, whether a corporation, a non-profit, or a government entity, needs an accountant. So, there will be opportunities for accounting majors throughout the United States. Regions that are growing will be particularly good places in the United States to find work opportunities after graduation.
