@powerfulbadeeu My school offered economics instead. That used to be my favourite course in High school.

Sad I had a B2 in WAEC when I was so sure of an A.

This is for the person who has been trying for longer than they expected.
Sending applications into silence, sitting in interviews that don't lead anywhere. Watching others move forward while you're still waiting for your first yes.

What you're going through is not evidence that you don't belong here.
It's evidence that breaking in is genuinely hard and that you haven't stopped trying despite that.

The ones who eventually break through are rarely the most talented in the room. They're the ones who stayed in motion when staying in motion felt completely pointless.
The preparation you're doing right now is not wasted because it hasn't paid off yet.
It's accumulating.
And that day will come sooner than it feels right now.
So keep going.🤍

If you've broken into accounting after a tough journey, what would you tell someone still in it? Drop it below 👇

When my boss told me to make enquiries and confirm prices for Cutix cable, I thought the sales rep didn’t understand what I meant😂😂.

What do you mean by 4mm cable being over 100k for just one bundle??

I approved one wiring material procurement this afternoon and I wan go mad.

Even though I knew the answer, I was still asking "Is fitting cost included in this?".

Finishing stage of projects will wound you.

Electrical finishing of a property has 3 stages:

1. Piping (usually before plastering)
2. Wiring (after plastering)
3. Fittings (mostly after painting)

Each with its costs.

@WithBukky Supply chain management

Between Supply chain & Tech.

I heard people talking about Supply chain waves as if Supply chain is in itself a new niche, but that’s by the way.

During the Tech wave, you’d see people specializing in Cybersecurity, Data analysis, product development, DevOps & so on. It’s very uncommon that you see anyone being a specialist beyond one or two.

In Supply chain, we have different specialty as well, such as Demand planning, Material planning, procurement, Logistics, production planning, Distribution requirement planning & so on.

But unlike Tech, I can be an expert in Demand planning & be hired for a senior position in procurement, I can be an expert in Supply planning & be hired for a role in production planning, the roles are so interwoven that once you’ve mastered one very well, you can be relied upon to be trained in the other within 1-3 months & you’ll get the concept effortlessly.

When people ask me which niche of supply chain should they focus on; I always tell them to choose one & excel in it, with that, you’ll find it easy to sidestep into others if need be.

I have by the grace of God work as a supply chain professional in 3 Fortune 500 companies in different roles.

1) Distribution requirement planning
2) Demand planning
3) Material planning.

The first company trained me, The second company hired me with only my knowledge of number 1 & the third company hired me with only the knowledge of number 1 & 2; different positions, yet, only with the knowledge of being a Supply chain expert.

Talk to me, what are you still waiting for, wouldn’t you want to explore this career path too?

Another thing is, supply chain has not been so popular because it was/has been broken down in different companies as warehouse, inventory, fleet management, purchasing, operations, etc.

@Unilee13 @powerfulbadeeu You forgot to add Project management & transportation(I’d guess you added it as logistics)

Thanks to @powerfulbadeeu for the insights on those CSCMP courses we took last year.

@Adeshola54 @ubonanalyst I’m not in a rush, bro. Personally, I know there are firms that take Pre-NYSC interns. I can’t just find them in my location.

I’m looking forward to getting experience early enough. Cheers!
