What skills stand out on Order Analyst resumes?
Pooyan Kazemian Ph.D.: OR Analysts are expected to be conversant with a variety of analytics methods, including descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics, as well as mathematical modeling and computer simulation. These methods are essential to better understand available data and make more informed decisions.
Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Order Analysts?
Robyn Brouer Ph.D.: Yes, in that it will impact the world of business. The landscape of working for an organization is going to change drastically. I suspect that many jobs will remain remote or partly remote. Rather than dipping a toe into remote work options, organizations were forced to adopt them whole. Many will realize that remote work is more cost effective. This same impact will be felt for jobs that used to include travel. Many organizations have seen how easy it is to use online meeting tools and will not go back.
What technical skills for an Order Analyst stand out to employers?
Robyn Brouer Ph.D.: Employers can train on technical skills, what they routinely ask for are "soft skills"- they want graduates who can think critically, effectively communicate, can work well in teams, and do so in a professional manner with a strong work ethic.

Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Order Analysts?
Carolyn Cousin Ph.D.: I think the impact on our graduates will be no greater than the impact that the pandemic will have on the Nation or the world as a whole. Making use of technology for interactive activities is cheaper and suitable to a degree but I have not found it totally satisfactory. A virtual meeting is not tantamount to a face-to-face meeting and our students have indicated to me that they have felt this difference. Also, I, as an instructor, have felt the difference and have tried to correct this but have not been successful. The University of the District of Columbia is known for its nurturing quality and virtual communications does not allow for the face-to-face association that most nurturing protocols required. I have only been able to achieve this relationship when I can sit with a student in the same room, listen and serve as a mentor.
I am able to relate my knowledge and assess my mentee's conversation couple with his/her body language and this allows me to determine my success or failure. Further, I have found it very difficult to almost impossible to hire a person in a position of authority or one in a position that I have to supervise, without a face to face meeting. This may be possible, if I interview the individual several times. Possibly then, I can get a better assessment. Personally, I feel that face-to-face interactions allow for better assessments. Further, I have had to change my research focus during the pandemic and I look forward to helping my students perfect their research skills which could not be enhanced via the internet. Observing a protocol performed is not the same as doing it yourself. This is, especially, true in our electron microscopy laboratory where perfecting ultramicrotomy is impossible to teach without close interactions.
