Vianna Hennig: Sunday Spotlight

Read below for an interview from @vianna_hennig , our former External Vice President, as she details how @msucra helped her get where she is today!

Q: Where will you be working and what is your position?
A: At the end of September I will be starting as an Inventory Analyst for @target . Originally, I was planning on moving to Minneapolis but for now it will be virtual. Simply put: I’ll be working with buyers and planners in a business unit making sure consumers/stores have the products they want, when they want it.

Q: How has CRA helped you prepare for this role?
A: As a supply chain major, @msucra helped me identify career opportunities and how different retail companies are operating their supply chain. You learn technical skills in class, but in CRA you’re able to learn from people living it day in and day out. On top of that you meet amazing friends, mentors, and recruiters by being a part of it.

Q: Do you have any advice for those looking for a job in retail?
A: My advice - connect with people. Build relationships that are more than just transactional. Understand your specialty and your talents, and don’t be afraid to pursue jobs and opportunities that make you uncomfortable!!
