CH Robinson!

CH Robinson presented Women in Business with a fresh perspective on the supply chain industry at their event on September 13^th. CH Robinson is a “business to business” third-party logistics company with the largest network of motor carrier capacity in North America. Michael Atkinson, Kate Pederson, and Dannit Schneider represented CH Robinson at the event.

The presentation they gave was lively and interactive; Michael, Kate, and Dannit spoke enthusiastically about the CH Robinson internship experience. In fact, they said that the jobs performed in their internship program mirror the work that entry-level sales representatives are given. They also emphasized the benefits of Robinson, including internal promotion, opportunities for continuous training and professional development, and incredibly high employee retention rates. Whether or not we in the audience were thinking about careers in supply chain management before, we are definitely thinking about them now.

Women in Business had a great event with CH Robinson!

The greatest universal takeaway from the presentation was the interviewing tips; as recruiters themselves, Michael and Kate disclosed what they really like and really don’t like in an interview.  “CH Robinson shared a lot of useful advice about interviews, especially their advice on second round,” said sophomore Nisha Boyington, “I will definitely be looking back at what they said before every interview I have.” And whether it is for CH Robinson or any other company, their universal tips are sure to make a positive impact.

We want to thank Michael, Kate, and Dannit for speaking with us and we in WIB hope to see them and CH Robinson again soon!
