b'Welcome to Week 51 of 2018, Marty here with you at Warehouse and Operations as a Career! By now ya\\u2019ll know how excited I get about this time of year, not just with the holidays and the festive times with family, friends and co-workers but it\\u2019s time to reflect on the year for me. In our professional lives or work lives we get to reflect on what we want to do in the coming year. A lot of people make a bunch of new year\\u2019s resolutions, I think the reason many of them fail is we put very little planning into them. I try and keep it simple myself. I want to be a better person next year, I want to learn new things, I\\u2019d like to help others in one way or another and I want to earn more money! Not that money is happiness by no means but by earning more I know I\\u2019m advancing, moving forward and doing more. WAOC is all about our Careers and finding a position that makes us want to get up every day and get to our jobs, I don\\u2019t even call it a job, I\\u2019ve always wanted a position where I enjoyed every hour that I spent there. I was very fortunate and blessed that I found that with my 3rd job. I did the restaurant scene for a year, definitely wasn\\u2019t going to be for me, then I went into retail, working at a shopping mall, dealing with people, wasn\\u2019t going to make it there at all, and then I moved into the back of the building, to the unloading docks. Loved the physical aspects of the job and the constant challenge. That was about 38 years ago and I haven\\u2019t felt like I\\u2019ve worked a day in my life since then! Today we have a few guest with us that are planning to achieve the same. We\\u2019ve talked a lot about planning and goals this quarter and how we honestly control our destiny\\u2019s, maybe not our destinies but definitely our own Careers. Today we have a few individuals on the phone with us that\\u2019s been working off of a plan, I think they\\u2019ve each goal for their careers and there with us today willing to share a few experiences and thoughts with us. Let\\u2019s see, where to start, I\\u2019ll kick off with Brandon, ok
\\nBrandon leads a crew of about 17 at a distribution center in Pennsylvania, he\\u2019s in charge of all the inbound freight, I guess you could say he\\u2019s the President of the front and controls that first 35 ft of the docks. Brandon, thanks for calling in and visiting with us today Sir!
\\nSo how did you land in operations, could you tell us a little about yourself?
\\nAnd we have Tony on the line from Chicago, thanks for calling in my friend! Share a little of your work history with us please?
\\nAnd I\\u2019d like to welcome Corey back on the show this week , Corey\\u2019s shared a few of his advancements or promotions with us here at WAOC before, how\\u2019ve you been doing?
\\nA wrapping up todays guest list, we have Joselinne on the phone, now I\\u2019ve had the pleasure to work with Joselinne before, I guess I\\u2019ve known you for about, what, 5 years now? I actually offered her a Recruiting position once and she turned me down to go work at a beauty supply place. How are you doing mam?
\\nSO Joselinne tell us a little about your work history, you\\u2019re a little younger than all us Op\\u2019s guys, how\\u2019d you get into the light industrial field?
\\nOK, today\\u2019s show is all about Advancement, Planning our career paths and those long term careers. You\\u2019ve each experienced a promotion or two this year. How\\u2019d it come about, was it something you planned for or a part of a much bigger goal? Let\\u2019s start with you today Brandon.
\\nWhat about you Tony, is your present position a part of an overall plan and what step of that plan are you on?
\\nCorey, I know your about to take that next step towards a long-time goal of yours. Could you share how your planning came to be Sir?
\\nAnd Joselinne, I\\u2019ve seen your paths change several times, always with upwards mobility. Has this been a well-planned out strategy or road to a Goal or have you just been fortunate? Care to share that goal with us or have you even formulated the ending yet?'
