A new-grad-friendly posting typically says it accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships toward that threshold, or lists a portfolio or coursework as an acceptable substitute for full-time work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level assistant logistics managers?
Entry Level assistant logistics manager roles concentrate in Education, Chemicals & Materials, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026.
