A Visit with Joselinne, Brandon, Corey and Tony on Planning and Advancement
Welcome to
Week 51 of 2018, Marty here with you at Warehouse and Operations as a
Career! By now ya’ll know how excited I
get about this time of year, not just with the holidays and the festive times
with family, friends and co-workers but it’s time to reflect on the year for
me. In our professional lives or work lives
we get to reflect on what we want to do in the coming year. A lot of people make a bunch of new year’s
resolutions, I think the reason many of them fail is we put very little
planning into them. I try and keep it
simple myself. I want to be a better
person next year, I want to learn new things, I’d like to help others in one
way or another and I want to earn more money!
Not that money is happiness by no means but by earning more I know I’m
advancing, moving forward and doing more.
WAOC is all about our Careers and finding a position that makes us want
to get up every day and get to our jobs, I don’t even call it a job, I’ve
always wanted a position where I enjoyed every hour that I spent there. I was very fortunate and blessed that I found
that with my 3rd job. I did
the restaurant scene for a year, definitely wasn’t going to be for me, then I
went into retail, working at a shopping mall, dealing with people, wasn’t going
to make it there at all, and then I moved into the back of the building, to the
unloading docks. Loved the physical aspects
of the job and the constant challenge.
That was about 38 years ago and I haven’t felt like I’ve worked a day in
my life since then! Today we have a few
guest with us that are planning to achieve the same. We’ve talked a lot about planning and goals
this quarter and how we honestly control our destiny’s, maybe not our destinies
but definitely our own Careers. Today we have a few individuals on the phone
with us that’s been working off of a plan, I think they’ve each goal for their
careers and there with us today willing to share a few experiences and thoughts
with us. Let’s see, where to start, I’ll
kick off with Brandon, ok
Brandon
leads a crew of about 17 at a distribution center in Pennsylvania, he’s in
charge of all the inbound freight, I guess you could say he’s the President of
the front and controls that first 35 ft of the docks. Brandon, thanks for calling in and visiting
with us today Sir!
So how did
you land in operations, could you tell us a little about yourself?
And we have
Tony on the line from Chicago, thanks for calling in my friend! Share a little
of your work history with us please?
And I’d like
to welcome Corey back on the show this week , Corey’s shared a few of his
advancements or promotions with us here at WAOC before, how’ve you been doing?
A wrapping
up todays guest list, we have Joselinne on the phone, now I’ve had the pleasure
to work with Joselinne before, I guess I’ve known you for about, what, 5 years
now? I actually offered her a Recruiting
position once and she turned me down to go work at a beauty supply place. How are you doing mam?
SO Joselinne
tell us a little about your work history, you’re a little younger than all us
Op’s guys, how’d you get into the light industrial field?
OK, today’s
show is all about Advancement, Planning our career paths and those long term
careers. You’ve each experienced a
promotion or two this year. How’d it
come about, was it something you planned for or a part of a much bigger goal? Let’s
start with you today Brandon.
What about
you Tony, is your present position a part of an overall plan and what step of
that plan are you on?
Corey, I
know your about to take that next step towards a long-time goal of yours. Could you share how your planning came to be
Sir?
And
Joselinne, I’ve seen your paths change several times, always with upwards
mobility. Has this been a well-planned
out strategy or road to a Goal or have you just been fortunate? Care to share that goal with us or have you
even formulated the ending yet?
I think
Planning, and as each of you have just described, is so important in our career
strategies. It’s so easy to fall in that
trap of taking a position for X number of dollars an hour. But I feel in doing that we’re just accepting
a job. That’s not really identifying a
career. When I was on the receiving
docks at that shopping mall I was unloading the trailers. I’d never been in a warehouse environment before,
but I quickly figured out that all the other positions around me paid more so I
started watching them, learned what they were doing and then went and asked the
boss how do I get to be a pallet runner like so and so. That was kind of my first step, next I wanted
to be a receiver, then a forklift driver etc.
Tony why is planning so important?
Brandon – Am
I incorrect or is planning what we should be doing to retire as we’d like?
Joselline,
you’re a little younger career wise than us, what’s planning mean to you?
Cory, any
parting words of wisdom you’d like to share with us Sir? And what’s your next step?
Tony, where
are you heading from here, what’s your next position in your plan?
Joselinne,
you see people every day, do most of the have a plan or are they just looking
for a job? Are you able to help them
regarding goals or plans for the future?
Brandon, what’s
the next piece of your puzzle?
What should
we be doing to help our associates realize their plan?
I want to
thank each of you for joining us here at WAOC today, we learn so much from all
of our guests, we appreciate you taking the time!
And I’d like to thank each of you for listening
in today, I hope we covered something that interested you today and helped you
in some way! If you haven’t subscribed
as of yet, please do so, it’s absolutely free and that way you’ll never miss an
episode. Next week we’ll be having our 4th
quarter roundtable with a few executives in our industry and wrap up the year
with a few of their thoughts on the industry! I’m certainly ready for 2019
myself, until then please be Safe, it’s important to ourselves, our companies
and most importantly our Families!
