00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:01.830
>> My name is Lindsay Wildes.

00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:08.950
And I am inventory supervisor for a third
party logistics company called Exel.

00:00:08.950 --> 00:00:16.020
A company decides that they're really good at
what they do, but maybe they're not so good

00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:23.290
at the logistics portion, meaning getting their
product from point A to point B effectively.

00:00:23.290 --> 00:00:30.280
So as a third party logistics provider, we
not only figure out where is the best place

00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.910
to warehouse their product
but how to get it from point A

00:00:33.910 --> 00:00:36.310
to point B in the most effective manner.

00:00:36.310 --> 00:00:44.130
And it just depends on the customer that we have
as far as how in-depth we go with our services.

00:00:44.130 --> 00:00:48.900
Well, right now I'm kind of
transitioning into a new role.

00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:54.250
But I can go through my previous-- I was
a quality supervisor so I would come in,

00:00:54.250 --> 00:00:58.280
answer e-mails, see what's
going on throughout the day.

00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:04.040
I worked directly with operations so I kinda
see what the goals are for the day, you know,

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.920
how many units we need to get
out of here and figure out--

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.880
tailor what I'm going to do based on that

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:15.090
because everything is kind
of honed around production.

00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:20.740
And then setting processes, making sure
that I-- like I said I was in quality,

00:01:20.740 --> 00:01:23.870
so auditing the guys and making sure

00:01:23.870 --> 00:01:26.510
that they were following the
processes that we put in place.

00:01:26.510 --> 00:01:31.580
And then coaching them, you know, letting
them know that, "Hey, you made a mistake.

00:01:31.580 --> 00:01:33.130
This is why you made a mistake.

00:01:33.130 --> 00:01:36.480
And this is how we can do better next time."

00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:43.140
And then really just monitoring the
operation as a whole and making sure

00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:44.770
that everything is running smoothly.

00:01:44.770 --> 00:01:50.600
As far as what we're looking for with
Exel, we are looking for ambitious students

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:54.240
that are willing-- that understand that it's--

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:56.080
they're going to have to
work hard out of college.

00:01:56.080 --> 00:01:58.140
You don't get something for nothing.

00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:04.450
And that they have that initiative,
that drive that they want to reach

00:02:04.450 --> 00:02:06.880
out before someone tells them to reach out.

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:09.200
They're enthusiastic.

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:15.340
They're excited about what they want to do
and the work that they're going to get done,

00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:20.820
and really somebody that is a
people person in the sense that--

00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:26.140
not just they're able to talk to people
because that's kind of a given but able

00:02:26.140 --> 00:02:28.300
to communicate effectively with people.

00:02:28.300 --> 00:02:36.100
And, I guess, get people to buy into their ideas
because what we're looking for are leaders.

00:02:36.100 --> 00:02:41.670
And as a leader, you have
to be able to lead people.
