Let me be specific.
Specifically, international freight forwarders should have the following quality structure:
First, ideological and political quality.
Conscientiously implement China's foreign policy, pay equal attention to economic benefits and social benefits, pay equal attention to export earnings and profit benefits, adhere to the principle of giving priority to benefits and giving consideration to fairness, pay attention to contracts and keep promises, and maintain a good image in performance.
Second, the professional quality
1, professional theoretical knowledge
We should be familiar with China's foreign trade policy and theory, international market, foreign trade rules and practices, import and export transaction procedures and contract terms, international contracting and labor cooperation. In addition, because the two sides of international trade are located in different countries and regions, with different political systems and legal systems, different cultural backgrounds and different values, international trade practitioners are required to be familiar with international trade rules and international economic, financial, political, legal, social and cultural conditions.
2. Professional skills
For foreign trade enterprises, international trade is dealing with all kinds of foreigners, and the transaction situation is very different, which requires employees to have rich experience. Many students majoring in international trade have mastered theoretical knowledge but lack practical skills, and most graduates majoring in international trade have to enrich their positions in the field of foreign trade and engage in specific import and export business or other related work, such as customs inspectors, customs declarers, inspection inspectors and so on. Many foreign trade enterprises, especially those newly granted import and export rights, hope to expand their international business in a short time, so skilled talents are given priority in recruitment. When recruiting talents, these enterprises often adopt the way of business assessment, or require to write English letters and telegrams, or explain the problems existing in letters of credit. Few graduates can really pass these business challenges. Facts have proved that only a diploma is not enough, and skilled talents are becoming more and more popular. Practice-oriented qualification certificate plays an increasingly important role. These qualifications include: exporter's certificate, customs broker's certificate, international business engineer's certificate, international freight forwarder's certificate and so on.
3. Foreign language communicative competence
This ability refers to the ability to use a foreign language as a language tool to communicate with foreign businessmen in a timely and effective manner, including written communication (correspondence) and oral expression (oral communication and negotiation). You can't just look at the diploma (CET-4 and CET-6 certificate), the key is to apply what you have learned. It is necessary to say that you can speak and write just right.
Third, professional quality.
1, professional
2. Responsibility
3. Personal cultivation
International freight forwarding is an external activity, and business personnel are the window to the outside world, representing the corporate image. Business people should strengthen their self-cultivation, overcome bad habits and pay attention to making their manners conform to international etiquette.
4, innovation ability
There are many business wars and fierce competition in the international market. If we want to be invincible in the fierce competition, we must have the ability of continuous innovation. Keep a clear head, sharp thinking and quick response. We should always pay attention to the signs, trends, situations and problems of foreign trade and capture international trade information and good business opportunities in time. We must dare to innovate, explore new ways and create a new situation in order to win a surprise in the shopping mall.
Fourth, the quality of social cooperation.
The quality of social cooperation refers to the ability to coordinate and cooperate with departments and other personnel in the group and with society. In international trade, the two sides of the transaction are far apart, and there are many intermediate links in the transaction process, which involve a wide range and need to deal with many departments. Therefore, business people should have strong communication and cooperation skills, be good at dealing with all kinds of people, be good at optimizing interpersonal relationships, mobilize all positive factors, and engage in foreign trade with high quality and efficiency.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) physical and mental quality
