Employer 30	Asking questions, being ready to work.
Employer 31	APICS certifications.
Employer 32	Cite examples of adjusting/ changing well established processes during times of panic or emergencies.
Employer 33	Their ability to multitask and learn on the job.
Employer 34	A general understand of the impact covid is having on different areas of supply chain (logistics, purchasing, mfg, etc) as well as an understand on its impact on global markets and economies. Also, an understanding of what could change in the business world as a result of covid.
Employer 35	Creativity working in new ways, and not letting the external environment to impact their individual effort.
Employer 36	Seeing students that have been active during this time and used it to further education in the field or shown some sort of drive to improve during the lockdowns would be impressive.
Employer 37	What types of new software skills they have been trying to learn during these times?
Employer 38	When interviewing potential employees, I like to see someone that is a go-Getter and that is eager to learn and is able to identify opportunities along with proven results (senior capstone project).
Employer 39	Work experience, regardless of the industry is important. You can also stand out by highlighting your work ethic, having a positive attitude and show you have done your research about the company and role you’re interviewing for.
Employer 40	Roll up your sleeves and do the dirty work. These are precedented times and there may be less opportunities than you had pre-Covid. Every opportunity you get gives it 110% because they may be fewer and farther between. Like Thomas Edison said, “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work”.
Employer 41	A wide variety of working experience (Purchasing, Logistics, and Data Analytics).
Employer 42	Great excel and presentation skills.
Employer 43	Work ethic, problem solving.
Employer 44	Self-directed/driven. Always having a critical eye on terms of opportunities for improvement. Strong leadership capabilities. Strong public speaking/presentation skills. Able to associate costs/returns. All this of course on top of the skills one would expect a SC or IE professional to have.
Employer 45	Same answer.
Employer 46	Keep yourself organized and be slow to react when others are in a frenzy. Just because you work with people older than you doesn’t mean that they have all the answers, or that they know how to control their emotions during tough times. Being able to do this yourself will help you shine.
Employer 47	Presentation both verbally and dress.
Employer 48	A WMU degree is impressive! Seems many strategies have shifted, I’m not sure there is anything that could have prepared businesses for what we are seeing. All changes Iâ?#8482;m seeing are often driving additional supply chain cost and not many companies would have bought into these concepts prior to Covid.
Employer 49	Persistence to achieve personal and career goals. Strategic development of one’s own skills and interests. Desire to exceed expectations. Maintaining a sustainable work-schedule and performance level (self-avoidance of burning out).
Employer 50	Some practical experience or case studies that would represent situations like this.
Employer 51	Being in the healthcare industry, a student with a supply chain internship in the healthcare industry would stand out to me especially during summer 2020. Other than Internship roles, I also see value in students who minor or dual major in CIS. Students who are genuinely interested in CIS and have a drive to continually learn technology/systems are of extreme value to me, especially in the “new normal”.
Employer 52	Supply chain emergency planning and error reduction skills.
Employer 53	No difference compared to pre-COVID good experience (internships), communication skills and solid GPA.
Employer 54	Contract experience.
Employer 55	Process improvement knowledge, since covid has shown the importance of trimming down instead of acquiring new business.
