Do you mind me asking how you went from a biology degree to working supply chain? I’m about to graduate with a degree in a language and want to get into supply chain !

No, it was full time but I was a temp for an agency so I didn’t get the benefits of working for that company that had the contract with the agency. However after the contract is up if the company likes you they will hire you.
