Dupli empowers customers, employees, families to achieve more

Dupli was a small four-person envelope jet house when Kemper Matt, Sr., purchased the company in 1980. The company has grown over the years because of the dedication and hard work of Dupli employees. A culture of continuous improvement and focus on the customer is ingrained in all of Dupli’s staff. This culture is who they are.

Mission

Dupli’s mission is to be a world-class team empowering their customers, company and families to achieve more.

Vision

The company’s vision is to help their customers promote human connections.

Dupli’s basic beliefs

Dupli President J. Kemper Matt, Jr., said the company is run on the belief that everybody counts.

“If you want to fix a problem, ask the person doing the job,” Kemper said, adding that this was “a concept my grandfather taught my father.”

Kemper said it is essential to have a

positive attitude, since “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t ... you are right.”

He also said a key belief is taking ownership.

“Taking responsibility of what we do as a company or as an individual is fundamental to any relationship,” Kemper said.

He said this should be done while also having fun and striving for continuous improvement.

“We always need to be getting better,” Kemper said, adding that they strive to do their best every day.

“We have six company pillars that allow us to have unique production capabilities. With this we can ship thousands of orders every day,” Kemper said. “At Dupli, our mission is to help our customers eliminate wasteful overproduction. Our technology and production infrastructure enables our customers to only order what they need when they need it.”

Keys

a job opportunity due to a failure to follow directions.

Recognize the use of aTS.

Many employers utilize an applicant tracking system (ATS) to help whittle down the applicant pool to the best qualified. ATS may use keywords that coordinate with skills desired in applicants. Be sure to mirror keywords used in the job listing on your application to further your chances of the application being flagged for consideration.

Have your resume at the ready.

An application likely will ask you to fill out fields regarding your work history. Refer to your resume to fill out this portion. Some applications also have an optional tool that will

auto-fill job information from an uploaded resume. Therefore, it is handy to have an updated and proofread file available. Use a professional email address.

Employers are judging everything about you. Present a professional front by using an email address that is clear and to the point, rather than something clever or controversial. Avoid email addresses like KissyFace123@email.com or ManCave456@email. com, opting instead for FirstName.LastName@ email.com. Do not give employers any reason to reject you based on perceptions from something as silly as a lighthearted email address. Proofread everything.

Be sure to look over your application and make sure that everything is spelled correctly and that your grammar is perfect.

If the application makes it through,

the employer may ask you to participate in either an in-person interview or an online interview.

Some companies rely on a third-party application for you to upload a statement or answer predetermined questions. Make sure all technology is working for these next steps, and consult the hiring manager with any issues. Always dress and speak professionally when doing interviews of any type.

If you are offered the job, the hiring manager may send further digital correspondence that will link to their onboarding system. This system will collect more information - possibly conducting a criminal background check - and ask that you fill out tax and payroll forms.

The job application process has changed in recent years due to an increased reliance on technology. Applicants should know what to expect to land their dream jobs.
