Q: Do you need training for documentary?
Answer: Training belongs to the management content outside the normal functions, and it is a complex system engineering. Effective training requires strict organization and planning, and requires serious and rigorous thinking. A merchandiser is a person who follows the product (service) operation process and supervises the execution of orders based on customer orders, and is one of the basic talents in foreign trade business of various production enterprises. Because the applied training content for this post in the current foreign trade academic education system is relatively backward, a large number of people without vocational training greatly increase the risk of foreign trade business.
Maybe you will ask, I am in foreign trade and have many years of work experience. Can I just register for the exam and not take part in the training? Years of work have certainly accumulated a lot of experience, but these experiences are not necessarily good. Some experienced workers may receive irregular training and may have formed bad work habits, which must be overcome through training and combining with the crux of your previous experience. Moreover, experience is a summary of the past and society is moving forward. Our training is to sum up the past, combine the present and look forward to the future, and conduct all-round and systematic training for merchandisers.
Q: As a person who has never been a merchandiser, can I attend the training? Do you need a foreign language foundation?
A: Yes. Anyone with a high school education or above or with some work experience can do it. Nowadays, foreign languages are indispensable in all walks of life, especially after China's entry into WTO, which will become more and more common in exams, but don't worry about your relatively weak English. Documents and letters involved in merchandiser training have a specific format. What to write or what kind of format each line will definitely be explained in detail by our teacher in class. As long as you know every document and letter the teacher has said, the English involved in the exam is not a problem.
Q: How to arrange the specific courses?
Answer: Documentary duty, export-oriented enterprises' documentary mode through foreign trade companies, self-operated export enterprises' documentary mode, factory management process, material procurement documentary mode, production process documentary mode, export goods documentary mode, import goods documentary mode, cargo transportation documentary mode, business letters, documentary and customer management, documentary work strategy, documentary communication and documentary management. It is recommended to arrange 80 class hours.
Q: What are the prospects of merchandisers?
A: The merchandiser who follows the product (service) operation process and urges the execution of orders is the basic talent for foreign trade enterprises to carry out foreign trade business. With the vigorous development of China's foreign trade industry after China's entry into WTO, at the end of 2004, China's trading enterprises obtained the right to operate import and export through filing with the industrial and commercial departments, and the right to operate import and export is no longer the patent of state-owned trading companies.
This means that at present, a large number of foreign trade enterprises' export agents will be dispersed to various production enterprises, which will export themselves, and each enterprise needs several full-time merchandisers to handle its foreign trade business. Without this link, enterprises cannot operate.
This also means that in this year, the social demand of merchandisers will increase exponentially with the growth of foreign trade enterprises.
Q: Why is the merchandiser qualification certificate issued by the National Association of Commercial Technicians and the National Commercial Technical Qualification Appraisal Committee?
A: Since the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission has been abolished, its functions and powers are divided into the Ministry of Commerce and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the department that issued the qualification certificate for merchandisers belongs to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The China Commercial Technician Association and the National Commercial Technical Qualification Appraisal Committee will issue the national general cargo clerk qualification certificate to the students who pass the examination.
