coolsecret,
I think it's best you stay on with your current company and see
what they have to offer for your career path.
Switching job right now is not going to do you any good
considering your current qualification anyway.
You need to start going to courses in logistics to upgrade. Get
the certification, diploma, degree and masters.. all these are
available in Singapore.
Check with your HR to see which courses are relevant to your
work. Just because you have no opportunity to do documentation in
your current job scope does not means you cannot take up EDI
classes.
You can perhaps negotiate with your current company for them to
help you pay for these upgrading.
Hands-on and/or on-site experiences are highly valuable in the
logistics industry.
So work hard and work smart... going lateral is also good to
expand your logistics knowledge and make you a more valuable worker
in your company.
SAP experience is well sought after. So do what you can to get
onto the SAP team.
Good luck.
Hi jojo, thanks for replying. My weakness of my working experience
is that I only do pick and pack for shipment. It doesnt help in my
job hunting for higher paying job.
My company is willing to subsidise for courses relevant to work
through SPUR programme. I did not sign up for it last September as
I plan to resign this year.
One of the management offered me to be in a workgroup( logistics
module) of the SAP commitee.It can be a valuable exp like an
extra-curricular activity, but It does not enable me to do main
logistical work like , preparing import and export documentations ,
generating delivery orders, coordination or any other duties
of a logistician. I am doing 100 % physical work.
About 1.5 year ago , they gave me the reason that I do not have
a tabel and a PC cos' my job is maily physical. When I submitted my
resignation letter , they told me that they are preparing to
implement SAP , thus they think it is pointless for me to touch the
current system, I can accept this but what about after the
implementation of the SAP , it takes time to fine-tune the system.
They told me they will see how then. No matter how good the system
is , someone still has to do the physical work. I dread the idea of
still having the same level of skills and knowledge after 1 - 2
years later. Age older liao, still got little working
experience.
Budd, thanks for your advice , I will consider them
seriously. I thought by not resigning , I will have more time to
better position myself and to look for a better job. I dont feel
good having a paycut in my new job.
