LifeWork Search (www.lifeworksearch.com) is an MRI Network affiliate (www.mrinetwork.com), the world's largest management and professional search firm with over 600 offices in 36 countries. Our office specializes in Supply Chain within Consumer Goods and has been consistently ranked in the top 25% of our offices globally.  We are located in Westport, MA 02790.

Overview of the internship objectives:

The intern will be heavily involved in internet research, identifying and calling Supply Chain professionals, entering information into our database, and posting information to certain websites, and ultimately be a huge part in our team in helping to advance the careers of Supply Chain professionals around the country.  At that same time, they will gain valuable insight to Supply Chain and/or Recruiting as a profession. 

Primary duties and responsibilities:

This will be an “on the phone” role (training will be provided).  The majority of phone interaction will be based upon updating outdated records.     

• Calling professionals in our niche market to update their contact information.
• Maintaining accurate computer records for each conversation.
• Identifying their background achievements thru intelligent, mature, business like dialog.
• Scheduling calls between our senior recruiter and the industry professional.

We are looking for students who:

• Have a proven above average work ethic.
• Have an outgoing, type A personality with good strategic planning skills.
• Have good communication skills.

What will the student learn from this experience?

The student will get a good understanding of both the Supply Chain and Recruiting industries.  This position will help to better the student’s interpersonal, organizational and research skills. The intern will also get an in-depth look into the professional world.  As we help supply chain professionals take their careers to the next level, the intern will learn the ins and outs of the job searching / interviewing process – giving them a much better understanding of exactly what employers are looking for.  This internship can be a great stepping stone into a Supply Chain, Recruiting, or Sales career.
