GIX Logistics
Tuesday, Nov. 3rd, 10am-1pm CDT, Virtual via Zoom: https://go.unl.edu/employerinresidencezoom
• GIX's mission...mission isn't strong enough...our life's purpose (maybe too strong, but we're going with it) is to become the place where everyone wants to be. To do that we have to acknowledge certain things. Money isn't everything, it's a lot, but it isn't everything. Flexibility is important. Understanding that it's okay to push away from your desk and enjoy an office event or competition is important. Feeling valued, being a part of a team, gaining transferable skills, and did we mention the office atmosphere? Those are what we can offer.
• More about GIX Logistics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3qjT27o3Ek&feature=youtu.be
• Zoom Instructions for Virtual Meeting: Students will be able to talk one on one with a representative. Once you click on the zoom link you will be entered into a waiting room. Once the employer host is ready they will admit you into the meeting.
