0:06 my name is Robin Duncan Jones I
0:08 graduated from UWF May 2015
0:12 I did get my two-year degree right out
0:15 of college for liberal arts and then I
0:17 went into retail management and I
0:20 quickly realized that's not where I
0:22 wanted to be yeah I took dr. Keller
0:25 supply chain management class one of my
0:27 first classes I'm at UW F and I
0:30 instantly fell in love with it dr.
0:33 Keller's passion for supply chain is
0:35 infectious the education really does
0:37 have the big influence on on what I do
0:39 day to day there isn't anything that I
0:42 haven't learned here that I don't use
0:45 throughout the day which is surprising
0:48 because a lot of the times you hear
0:49 people I think oh you know it's not it's
0:52 not like how it is in real life real
0:53 life is completely different well not
0:55 really with what they teach us here I
0:57 use a lot of what I learned at UW I
1:00 think my current job a lot of it and so
1:02 data dumping is not really wasn't really
1:05 an option for for what I do
1:09 I wanted to be more involved because I
1:10 know that that's kind of the leg up on
1:13 resumes is how involved you were in the
1:16 university and what experiences you have
1:18 and I saw about the F CLA went to these
1:22 businesses went to these places that you
1:25 can actually see a real life industry
1:27 and speak to real life people and that
1:30 are within the field to me it was an
1:32 experience that you don't get with any
1:33 other just by reading in a book or or
1:36 just by looking on the Internet
1:39 always have a five-year goal and that's
1:42 one thing that's stuck with me ever ever
1:44 since I took the class it's always have
1:46 a five-year goals in the event that I am
1:48 NOT a novel EPS in five years ask
1:50 management cuz that's the current goal
1:52 now then I would like to stay within the
1:54 aerospace industry and become a manager
1:56 within the aerospace industry either in
1:58 purchasing or splushee management
2:03 - I like being able to work with a group
2:04 of people I like being able to make sure
2:07 that a project is seeing through all the
2:09 way through and like interacting and
2:12 just making sure that things are done
2:14 and so that's kind of where the
2:16 leadership roles is driven and why I
2:18 want to stay in management from here on
2:20 out
2:22 I'm being president you know if there
2:24 are some snacks when it comes to members
2:27 because I mean they're they're paying to
2:29 be in your program and in your club and
2:32 if they're not happy then what are you
2:35 gonna do you have paid members aren't
2:36 happy so one of the things that I like
2:38 to do personally is just kind of talk
2:40 with everyone and talk to the
2:41 individuals and see you know really what
2:44 what the root of the issue is like are
2:46 what are you not unhappy about what
2:47 would you like to see and then trying to
2:49 incorporate that into into something
2:52 that where it works for everybody and
2:55 everybody is is happy
2:56 for example we we weren't doing as many
2:59 like field trips to other vendors as we
3:02 were in previous years and so what we
3:06 did was created more positions within
3:08 the club for you didn't have one person
3:11 Joe that was completely solely dedicated
3:12 to setting up the trips and everything
3:15 and so that worked out to where we were
3:17 able to have one dedicated person
3:19 responsible for booking all the trips
3:21 and doing all that stuff because that
3:22 position previously wasn't there before
3:27 I think so I think being able to
3:29 delegate is a hard skill to come by i
3:32 thing that I definitely learned that
3:33 here you know yep and that specific
3:36 instance as well is being leadership
3:39 driven it's hard to not want to do
3:42 everything yourself but learning that
3:44 have a little bit of humility that you
3:45 can get help and that you can tell they
3:47 get it out and not take all the stress
3:48 on yourself as something I definitely
3:50 learned here
3:52 that's absolutely true I mean especially
3:54 when it comes to the place that I work
3:56 with now all my cohorts and people that
3:58 I work with are extremely smart they're
4:00 very very smart and they're very
4:02 knowledgeable of what they do and that's
4:04 key to our success is having a good team
4:07 and a good group of people who are smart
4:09 and that means because people hire them
4:12 that you're looking
