I have been the Recruitment Director for TLS since December
2007 and love what I do! I am graduating with an MBA degree
with concentration in Logistics in April 2009. I had no clue
what logistics was about until last year but I always liked the
word "efficient". I guess I was destined for this career... After I
almost lost some body parts in the freezer of Wal-Mart
distribution center during a TLS tour, I felt I just had to know
how this whole system works.
