Response 1:
It hasn’t been until recently that I have been thinking more and
more about what my ideal or dream job would be. It has been
quite invigorating thinking about what profession truly makes
me happy and how I can find a way to make good money doing
it. I am approaching my military retirement and now is the time
to consider what that dream job would be and how I would set
myself up to attain it.
My dream job in a nut shell is owning and operating a bed and
breakfast. I don’t think I ever would have thought this would
be my dream job looking back but I started thinking about all
the things that I love to do and what makes me happy. A few of
them being: cooking for others, entertaining, meeting new
people, the vision of owning my own business and being my
own boss. One day as I pondered on these things it came to me;
a bed and breakfast. To be honest, it was that and the litany of
lifetime movies and romcoms I have seen in my lifetime.
If I was able to own and operate a bed a breakfast I would be
able to tap into the local community for an abundance of items
and contribute to the community as a whole. I would source all
of my toiletries and home items from local small business that
make soaps, lotions, oils etc. I would tap into the local artists
realm for advice on style and wall art to decorate the home. I
would source most ,if not all, of the food & beverages used for
the mini restaurant and bar from local farmers, wineries,
breweries etc. I would also collaborate with the local
entertainment and events coordinators to promote local
business, food and bars scenes to all of the visitors who came in

green energy and also use it as a catalyst for education and
conversation. The bed and breakfast would be more than just a
place to stay while visiting a new city but a place where you
didn’t want to leave because the city came to you.

Response 2:
A supply chain manager is a lucrative job position that I greatly
admire. Most supply chain managers work in industries such as
defense, manufacturing, aerospace, and energy. As a profession
in the supply chain department, I would prefer working in a
company like iPhone. This is because of my passion for Tech.
iPhone is a company well known for developing, designing, and
selling computer software, electronics, and equipment. As a
supply chain manager, roles include inventory control,
transportation, management, analysis. communication, and
planning. Inventory control involves generating day to day,
weekly and monthly reports, and submitting them to
stakeholders to provide actionable insight and data. It also
involves conducting a risk assessment on things like supply
trends, product perishability, and demand factors. Management
involves, measuring and reporting on the effectiveness of each
department’s operations and activities. It also involves
maintaining safety work standards and procedures. Supply
managers develop strategies that improve employee efficiency,

3. service quality, and interdepartmental communication (Supply
Chain Manager, 2020).
To make decisions in a socially responsible way a supply chain
manager needs to have accountability and transparency while
carrying out his work. He/ she needs to be compliant and
constantly improving his services. A supply chain manager must
ensure that the activities of the companies comply with the laws
of the local authorities in the area. A supply chain manager
must have personal integrity. Integrity entails possessing
characters such as morality and honesty. A supply chain
manager's social and civic responsibility in the logistics and
transportation industry includes Ensuring that companies
dispose of chemical waste properly. Improper disposal of
chemicals can damage the environment. Supply chain managers
must also engage stakeholders during this process of ethics (Our
commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), 2018).
Response 3:
or this week’s assignment I first consider my dream job when I
was a child, after further consideration I realized that I am
currently working in my dream job. My job involves a good
combination of office and field work to multiple countries. As a
Quality Assurance Representative working for DLA, I am the
government representative and subject matter expert at
refineries during multimillion-dollar purchases. In addition, I
help supply bases, ships, aircrafts with good sources of fuel in
the United States and abroad. I previously worked on locations
all over Europe and Africa, I am now working in locations in
South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
In my current position, I’m not directly involved in making
decisions in a socially responsible manner, but my agency is
continuously looking for environmentally sensible ways to cut
waste and build efficient sources of energy. A colleague of mine

4. introduce a practice to recycle used oil and it was highly
commended by the agency. Ever since I started working for the
US government’s largest supplier of fuel, I noticed my agency
is constantly looking for environmentally conscious ways to cut
waste, maximize supply chains and build efficient sources of
energy.
There are often social costs and benefits to alternative fuels
such in the case with biofuels and ethanol. Whatever the fuel of
the future is from solar to hydrogen it is important to
contemplate the social and environmental consequences of such
alternatives. Going forward, I will be more considerate about
the lessons learned during this week and think more about
social and civic ways to be responsible.
