How Meta Carrière helped me find my role in logistics

  • Blog

Logistics is a world that is always on the move. Trucks run day and night, warehouses never stand still, and everything revolves around one thing: making sure products get to the right place on time. For many people who start through Meta Carrière, logistics is a first step in a new direction. Exciting at first, but also an opportunity to find security and structure in work that is always in demand.

 

The first introduction

"I honestly had no idea what it would be like to work in logistics," says a candidate who recently started through employment agency Meta Carrière. "During my first interview, they asked me what I thought was important: fixed hours or just flexible, being physically busy or preferring more of an overview. That interview made the difference for me. I felt that I was listened to and looked at what suited me."

That's exactly how we do it: together we look at what role in logistics suits your needs and capabilities. From order picker to forklift driver and from warehouse worker to team leader, the sector offers many different roles and entry-level opportunities.

 

What a workday can look like

A day in logistics often begins with unloading trucks. Goods are checked, scanned and prepared for shipment. Orders must be accurately collected so customers get exactly what they ordered.

 

One candidate says, "The first week I had to get used to it. Everything goes fast, and you really have to stay sharp. But already after a few days I felt part of the team. The nice thing about logistics is that you see immediately what you do: at the end of the day everything is ready to be taken away. You see immediate results from your work."

Sometimes the work requires physical effort, for example when loading and unloading. At other times it is all about overview and planning. That makes it varied and instructive.

 

Guidance and security

Working via Meta Carrière means that you are not alone. We take care of everything from day one:
✔️ a fair salary, always paid on time
✔️ vacation pay and days off that are accrued neatly
✔️ guidance during your first days on the job
✔️ a contact person to whom you can always turn with questions

 

As one candidate says: "It gave me a lot of peace of mind that I could always call someone. Whether it was about my schedule, vacations or just how things were going at work, I got a clear answer quickly."

 

Opportunities to grow further

Logistics is not only an industry with a lot of work, but also with many opportunities for advancement. Many people start out as order pickers or warehouse workers, but can progress to foreman, planner or even team leader. At Meta Carrière we think along with them: together we look at what fits and what steps are possible.

The pace is fast, but that makes the days short. And because the industry is indispensable, it gives a sense of security, now and in the future.
