Welcome to the Working in Ag Podcast where we dive deep into how we can create a more sustainable labor force for the future of agriculture by cultivating great leaders and employees within the industry. Join me as we talk with guests from all different sectors of the industry about what they do, how they got there, and the most rewarding and challenging parts of their careers.
Andrew is a regional sales lead at Keystone Cooperative based out of Michigan. He gives great insight as to what some key characteristics are within a sales position as well as explains his process for recruiting and hiring great people. We talk specifically about his interview process, and how he tries to focus more on having a conversation with the candidate rather than asking specific interview questions.
Andrew looks for people with great communication skills, integrity and a passion for continual learning. Having a background in chemistry and education, he provides unique insight on his transition into the ag industry; but also points out that if you are good with people and willing to learn, you can be successful in agriculture. Hope you enjoy!
