Problem description:

I study marketing, but I want to engage in foreign trade after graduation. What professional qualities do I need?

Analysis:

In fact, in the recruitment process of foreign trade enterprises, English proficiency and foreign trade-related work experience are the main factors, followed by computer proficiency. Generally speaking, there are proficiency restrictions on English, mainly oral English and translation ability. If you can show your advantage in the interview, your level is not important at this time. The main purpose of enterprise's grade restriction when publishing recruitment information is to improve the quality of candidates and the success rate of recruitment. Work experience is another key point. Enterprises hope that such people can get started when they enter the company, and don't want to spend too much money and manpower to train new people. The main reason is that foreign trade personnel are highly mobile, and people who have spent a lot of energy to train themselves may quit their jobs for some small reasons, followed by computer operation ability, because now the export business is done through two channels: the network and the traditional exhibition, and the network accounts for an absolute large proportion. So you can at least skillfully use all kinds of office software and forms, be familiar with some commercial websites at home and abroad, and be able to use these websites to find buyer information related to the company's products. With these, there won't be much problem. For example, some international business practice and some operation details can be obtained online through communication with foreign trade friends.
