Q: Progress in the company - first position to that of Team Lead.

A: I did my internship in the International Division when I was finishing my Transport Logistics Technique. When I was hired, I was assigned to a position in the OTR (Over-the-Road) division as a customer service agent given the bigger volume in the department and was there for two years. After a stint in pricing and inside sales, still in the OTR division, I returned to the Ocean department in the international division, where I am now.
