What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

The projects and the autonomy to take them in the direction that I feel best suits the business is a great thing about my role at DHL. I am given the responsibility and the accountability to learn, achieve and succeed (and fail) - I do not feel all grad schemes and companies allow the grad to have value-added projects where an outcome is expected.

Worst

The official training and transferrable training is a downfall in my opinion. Six Sigma would be better as opposed to First Choice as this is DHL specific. Prince 2 would be better as opposed to PM101 as this again is DHL specific and non-transferrable. Train your employees so other employers want them, value them so they stay...

Starting salary: I'd rather not say

Current salary: I'd rather not say

What hours do you actually work, on average?

What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

The process is quite extensive but this is to make sure you are right for the company and on the flip side of this, the company is right for you. You need to make sure that you are joining a company where your values and expectations match that of your employers, this justifies the numerous stages if the application process.

Do you have any interview tips?

Be yourself and do not over articulate your approach. You are a person, not a robot - show that. In any organization and especially logistics you have to be a people person, the skills can be taught.
