There are three important things to have when you are applying for a job in any field. First, you should have a degree in whatever field that you are trying work in. Getting hired by a serious company is impossible if you aren't qualified. Next, having some charm and good interview skills are important. Leaving an impression on the interviewer is a great way to set yourself apart from competing candidates. Lastly, and what we are going to focus on today, having a strong resume is essential when attempting to get hired in a field that is as competitive as supply chain.
Let me put it this way, after you leave an interview the only thing that the hiring committee has left of you is your resume. When you leave a resume behind, you are leaving a snapshot into the kind of person you are. A strong resume is everything.
When speaking about supply chain specifically, it is important that you have a clean and concise resume. Bullet points that efficiently show interviewers what you have to offer their company. Nobody enjoys reading long and drawn out paragraphs, so a concise and efficient resume is the way to go. Additionally, having buzzwords for the supply chain field is essential. Employers are looking for potential employees to have backgrounds in things like 'logistics', 'analytics', 'planning', and 'management'. These buzzwords will help to catch the attention of the hiring committee and set you apart just that much more.
Now go out there and make some money.

I really like the way you wrote this post. The format of it is very nice to read, not too long, and also, not too short. Of course, it is also very informational and interesting because being someone who has had a few jobs already, i understand the importance of a well put-together resume. Another thing that I really like about your post it the purpose comment at the end. Love this!
