DHL's Gateway

An Investment of €4 Million by DHL Express Indicating Their Trust in Turkey

In the current period when many enterprises are ceasing their investments or laying off their workers due to the crisis creating worldwide effects, the international logistics and express transportation company DHL Express made an investment of €4 million in Turkey. In the Gateway (the new operation facilities), established by DHL Express in an area falling within the boundaries of the Gate B of Istanbul Ataturk Airport, 10 airplane containers will simultaneously be both loaded and unloaded thanks to the moveable conveyor support with a total length of 55 meters.

While DHL was cutting jobs in America, DHL Turkey keeps on investing. This is why I don’t let myself down. I hope that I will get the job despite everything.

The Name DHL and DHL History

The name DHL comes from the first letters of the last names of the three company founders, Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn.

In 1969, just months after the world had marvelled at Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon, the three partners took another small step that would have a profound impact on the way the world does business.The founders began to personally ship papers by airplane from San Francisco to Honolulu, beginning customs clearance of the ship's cargo before the actual arrival of the ship and dramatically reducing waiting time in the harbour.Customers stood to save a fortune.

With this concept, a new industry was born: international air express, the rapid delivery of documents and shipments by airplane.The DHL Network continued to grow at an incredible pace. The company expanded westward from Hawaii into the Far East and Pacific Rim, then the Middle East, Africa and Europe. By 1988, DHL was already present in 170 countries and had 16,000 employees.

Deutsche Post World Net and DHL

At the beginning of 2002, Deutsche Post World Net became the major shareholder in DHL. By the end of 2002, DHL was 100% owned by Deutsche Post World Net.In 2003, Deutsche Post World Net consolidated all of its express and logistics activities into one single brand, DHL. The DHL brand was further strengthened by Deutsche Post World Net's acquisition of Exel in December 2005. The DHL expertise is pooled from a number of companies acquired by Deutsche Post World Net. The companies are;

Exel: at the time Deutsche Post World Net acquired Exel in December 2005, it had around 111,000 employees in 135 countries. Exel primarily offers transport and logistics solutions for key customers.

Deutsche Post Euro Express: in operation since 1997 through internal growth and investments in leading European companies, network for parcel and express services in more than 20 countries, market leader for business customers in Europe.

Danzas: founded in 1815, based in Basel, Switzerland, acquired byDeutsche Post World Net in 2000, world leader in air freight and ranked second in ocean freight. Overland transport and supply chain management complete the Danzas service portfolio.

Air Express International: largest American air freight provider, integrated into the Danzas group in 2001.

DHL to cut 9,500 U.S. jobs

I mentioned how I am unlucky in one of my previous posts. While I was expecting to be hired and work for DHL, the damn global financial crisis popped up. I was mistaken., even though I pointed out in my research (which I will talk about it later) that the logistics sector was not affected by the previous financial crisis in all over the world,

According to CNN report, Global delivery company DHL announced Monday that it was cutting 9,500 jobs as it discontinues air and ground operations within the United States.

"DHL said its DHL Express unit will continue to operate between the United States and other nations. But the company said it was dropping "domestic-only" air and ground services within the United States by Jan. 30 "to minimize future uncertainties." .DHL spokespersons said the cuts would take place nationwide and will not be concentrated in any one location.

"We see [a] significant shortfall in the U.S. part of our express business due to the fact that the economy has weakened deeply," said Frank Appel, chief executive of DHL's parent company Deutsche Post World Net. "We have taken a massive action in the U.S."

The company also said it was shutting down all ground hubs and reducing the number of its U.S. stations to 103 from 412.

DHL said it was making the cuts to improve profitability and "to prepare the company for the economic challenges ahead."

The company said this latest action would add $1.9 billion to its restructuring costs, for a total of $3.8 billion over two years, most of it during 2008. The company said the cuts would reduce the annual operating costs of DHL's U.S. unit to less than $1 billion, from its current cost of $5.4 billion."

Up to now, there is no negative news about DHL Turkey and job cuts in Turkey, so I am still hoping to get the job. All I have is “Hope” right now and I know that “Hope” did not kill Barack Obama.

DHL Discover Logistics

About 8 months ago, DHL Express launched a stimulation called “discover logistics”. This is an on-line game which gives the participants particular goals to be achieved.

The prizes of the game stated below;

"Attractive prizes with a total value of over 50,000 Euros await the winners: Management trainings, travel vouchers as well as VIP tickets to Formula 1 races or the IMG Fashion Weeks. All finalists will have the opportunity to establish contact with top managers of the global logistics leader at the group headquarters of Deutsche Post World Net and experience DHL close up as a potential employer. They are invited to attend exciting social events in Bonn and Berlin, including a reception at the German Foreign Office."

DHL Discover Logistics stated “Logistics is a truly global business with excellent career opportunities for highly-qualified graduates and professionals from all backgrounds.“Are you entrepreneurially-minded? Do you thrive in an international, fast-paced environment? Are you keen to take on new responsibilities and challenges?DHL invites you to experience this dynamic industry in Discover Logistics."

My major at the university was not about logistics, however this quotation encouraged me and I signed up to get more knowledge about the process of logistics. I was able to see how the process works and how the company takes decisions. Unfortunately, I could not make it to the main level due to the fact that there were so many professional participants. But this never discouraged me and I wanted more to be a part of DHL.

Here is the link of the stimulation;

Unknown Phase of the Process

While the HR Department was on my references, I was the unluckiest man because the global financial crisis occurred. I wouldn’t have felt very unlucky if I had not quit my job. Yes, I know. I should not quit my job before getting the new one, but how could I know that the global crisis was coming?

HR employees answered my questions and I am very glad that they did. But they did not know what to do either and they said that all the job applications have been frozen. They did not give the exact answer, however anyone can guess that this was caused by the global crisis.

Second Phase of the Interview

After one month, they called me for the second interview and I met one of the supervisors of the operations department.

It was a quite impressive interview, because I wanted so badly to work for DHL. He took notes about me and HR told me that they would get to the third phase and call my references to get information about my business career.

First Phase of the Interview

I can’t remember the exact date, it must be the end of July I guess, I had an interview with one of the employees of HR Department.

Firstly, I took two tests; the English test and the general ability test. I believe that I made a well-done score in the both tests.

After the tests, I had the interview which lasted 30 minutes and the interviewer told me that they would call me again to meet the director of the operations department.
