"Get it in writing!"

What do you like about working at DHL Express?

"I was excited to reenter the express package industry having left a DHL competitor several years before on a voluntary severance. I was hired for a two-year project to restructure the US domestic market. It was the challenge I had been looking for and I really enjoyed my peers and the contractors and managers we were working with."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If someone offers you a position for a specific period of time, get it in writing. I accepted this position on the word of management that the project would last two-years and that after that, I would have to apply for other positions in the company. I turned down a position with the USPS based on this promise. Don't make the same mistake I made, if a similar offer is extended to you, where you are being hired for a specific project for a specific period of time, get it in writing. Having said that, I truly enjoyed my time with DHL and understand the world economy did plummet, but these past 9 mos. have been difficult in the unemployment line when the alternative was a secure position with the USPS."

What don't you like about working at DHL Express?

"As the project progressed, the scope of the project kept changing and the level of service we were allowed to provide the contractors and managers was no longer adequate to fully implement the recommendations we were making. The US and world economies were in a free fall and after only 4 months of this two-year project we were laid off."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Management needs to be more conscious of their decisions to hire and quickly change course with little or no regard to the employee. The initial plan would have been successful had it been rolled out several years earlier. It was clearly a case of too little too late. Management needs to do a better job of forecasting, especially when others livelihoods are at stake."
