What does Supply Chain & Customer Service Graduate do?

Be a part of, and gain an understanding to every department involved in the production of Coca-Cola drinks. This includes Quality Control, Distribution, Engineering and Operations to name a few.

From there, it was four months of aggressive job hunting on sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, until I came across GetMyFirstJob and found this one.

How did you end up in this job?

Signed up for GetMyFirstJob and this job was the first that I saw advertised. It was a long interview process, an online interview in November, in person assessment in March and one further panel interview in May. Two weeks later, it was June and I received a phone call confirming I had the position.
