3 Interview Types a Manager Should Be Ready For!

Job Interview Do’s and Don’ts!

Every manager would be expected to know how to carry out a traditional job interview for a new position. However, in every company, a manager should also feel confident to know that there are different interview types and how to carry out interviews for other purposes.

The person in charge should know what an exit interview is, what an investigative interview or inquiry is about, and how the style of delivery should differ with each.

Therefore, this is what you need to know for different interview types.

It’s a Candidate’s Market in Supply Chain!

How to Become a Supply Chain Game Changer! RateLinx Interviews Mike Mortson!

When the COVID-19 pandemic began, hiring slowed to a crawl. Companies were forced to adapt to a radically different working environment on the fly – changing to remote work, navigating a host of supply chain disruptions, working to secure PPE for front-line workers, among many other immense challenges.

Preparing Business for the Digital Supply Chain! Oracle Interviews Mike Mortson!

Imagining the Supply Chain of the Future!

Mike Mortson was recently interviewed by Oracle as a part of the Oracle Global Supply Chain Influencer program. This article was posted on the Oracle Supply Chain Management blog.

Supply chain professionals are hiking their spending on supply chain innovation—substantially. Ninety-five percent said they plan to spend more this year than last, and 60 percent will spend more than $1 million over the next two years on disruptive technologies such as robotics, automation, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT). 

As digital transformation confronts supply chain leaders, Oracle caught up with Mike Mortson of Supply Chain Game Changer to discuss the current state of the supply chain technology landscape—including how the easiest path forward, in many cases, may involve embracing a supply chain-as-a-service model to benefit from cutting-edge technologies and first-rate digital supply chain management skill sets.
