Therefore, I had an interview with my tutor whom is Mr. Jalil Ebrahim as he has worked in the Logistics field before joining Bahrain Polytechnic. This report is going to elucidate an interview, and it is going to provide a research about the job and an analysis of both the interview and the research. Findings Interview I had a meeting with Mr. Jalil Ebrahim, the logistics tutor last week in his office at Bahrain Polytechnic campus. In this interview I have asked Mr. Jalil some questions about the job that is going to help me in the foreseeable future. The following paragraphs are going to be some of the questions that I have asked him along with his answers: Describe the nature of your work.The position was the head of the cargo operations at Bahrain airport services (BAS), this job requires many responsibilities such as: aircraft schedule, work distribution, staff activities in bound and out bound, documentations of cargo, dangers goods items, responsible for the equipment used and purchasing a new equipments and renewing cargo master plan. Identify the generic competencies required by employer in a chosen industry. The skills required for this position are: IT, Management and HR skills and to the ability to handle the work load. Describe how educational achievements and life experiences relate to occupational opportunities. The required educational qualifications for this position are: logistics degree or administrative degree, also some industrial certificates are required such as; dangers goods, human factor and geography. In term of experience, you need a 10 years of experience to be a head of cargo operations and a one year to be a normal staff. How did the person get the job?He saw an advertisement at the newspaper and he applied for the job and he get it. Research The head of operation is responsible of supervising the daily cargo operation of the airportCITATION Rob \l 1033 (Wagner, 2014), minimize baggage mishandling by making sure that the baggage and passenger arrive together, continuously improve operational performanceCITATION air \l 1033 (airport services manager, 2012) in addition, other responsibilities are, distribute the cargo in case of no space available, calculate the load weight of the cargo before departure, solve the problems and making decisions, inspect equipments and buy new equipments if needed and identify the needed of training for the staff (cargo operations manager carrer,n.d). To be a head of cargo operation in any airport or airlines you should have a logistics degree, an up dated IT skills, special load handling certificate, dangerous goods certificates and live animal handling. Those qualifications are similar to most airports but some airports may have a few different requirements CITATION Emi14 \l 1033 (Emirates sky cargo , 2014 ). Furthermore, air cargo transport is estimated to be around 35% of the world trade, so it is very important to have a strict rules and a very qualified people to ensure the flow of the operations CITATION IAT14 \l 1033 (IATA, 2014). What did you learned about the job, the required competencies?I learned from the interview and the research I’ve done that to reach this position I should work hard and I should be patient, because it is difficult and impossible to obtain this position since the beginning of joining the company. In addition, this interview encouraged me to finish my degree and to get extra certificates that are related to logistics sector, because those certificates will help me a lot to reach my dream job. For example, when I was working in TOYOTA service center as a receptionist, I always wanted to be a service advisor as I was very interested in car inspections, when my manager saw my interest he registered me in a workshops to know a basic things about cars, after that he allowed me to work with my colleagues as service advisor trainee. In other words, it is not easy to get the position that you want in the beginning of your career. Analysis After the interview and the research I found that the answers that Mr. Jalil gave me about the job are similar to the research that I have done. In other words, the required certificate, skills and responsibilities are almost the same in every airport as I mentioned above. In addition, the reason of having the same of responsibilities is that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) is responsible to run a different programs such as: safety, security, cargo, airline distribution, passenger, operations, infrastructure and environment where as 240 airlines is a member in IATA which is estimated to be around 84% of the air traffic, therefore, IATA established the rules and the requirement CITATION IAT14 \l 1033 (IATA, 2014). Conclusion To conclude, this report elucidate an interview about a job that I may get in the future, also a research and analysis have been done to identify the requirements for this job. In addition, I would like to thank Mr. Jalil for sharing his experience that showed me one of the most superior jobs in logistics and to encourage me to do my best to be one of the high qualified people in this sector.
