What does the logistics major do?

Career path: operator → middle manager → senior manager.

Analysis of salary level (taking Shanghai as an example)

Operator: The salary is different for different positions. Applicable to customs declarers, freight forwarders and so on. The average monthly salary is about 2000 yuan to 3000 yuan. Marketing personnel include sales and customer service. Because of the importance of their positions, their salaries are relatively high, reaching more than 4,000 yuan, and some are even higher than ordinary managers.

For operators, those with relevant certificates, relevant work experience and above CET-4 will have higher salary and more room for improvement. For the same position, the monthly salary of a large logistics company is higher than that of a small company 1000 to about 2000 yuan. Those who have working experience in a big company can also get a certain promotion by changing jobs to a small company.

Middle managers: department heads or managers, including business managers, production managers, operation managers, etc. The general requirements are college degree or above, more than three years working experience, familiarity with the operation process of this department, and working experience in large logistics companies will be very popular.

At present, the salary of talents in Shanghai logistics enterprises is about 3,000 yuan per month for business executives, 5,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan for department managers, and some of them can reach more than 1000 yuan. The annual salary of senior logistics managers can reach several hundred thousand yuan.

Senior management talents: executive directors of enterprises, vice presidents of companies, senior executives, etc. These talents stand at the top of the pyramid of the logistics industry and are scarce resources that are hard to find at high prices. For this kind of talents, in addition to high basic quality and master's degree or above, they should also have rich industry experience, excellent planning and organization skills and good communication skills.

The salary ranges from 6,543,800 yuan to 6,543,800 yuan. According to the nature and scale of the company, generally speaking, Sino-foreign joint venture logistics enterprises have the highest salary, and the annual salary can reach more than one million yuan. In addition to salary income, some companies will also provide some shares to these executives and get dividends at the end of the year.

Analysis of employment direction

As far as employment direction is concerned, logistics jobs are mainly distributed in internal logistics and third-party professional logistics companies. The former focuses on internal procurement, warehouse management, material protection and coordination. The latter focuses on the external and flowing process of goods.

Logistics jobs within enterprises: Logistics graduates often go to retail chain enterprises, such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Gome. Their competitive advantage lies in low logistics cost: centralized procurement and efficient logistics system. ...

Professional logistics job responsibilities should include procurement, production, storage and transportation, sales and even upstream supplier and customer service, that is, supply chain management. But in fact, at present, most enterprises lock the responsibility of logistics posts in the storage and transportation links.

Purchasing position: when the purchasing department of a retail enterprise recruits assistants, newcomers generally have opportunities. What they value is mainly communication ability and adaptability. A human resources supervisor of Suning Appliance said in an interview, "In terms of computers, the use of WORD and EXCLE must be proficient." These tools are necessary for data analysis, report writing and business letters. If you want to go to a foreign-funded enterprise like Wal-Mart, good English literacy is essential. Wal-Mart's powerful logistics system is based on the global procurement system. If you can't read English labels, it's hard for you to get their jobs. Special reminder, learn to use a statistical and economic market analysis tool software (method), such as SPSS, which is very helpful for gaining the favor of the human resources department of retail enterprises.

Storage and transportation post: this is a post with relatively low entry threshold. Make full use of your professional advantages and theoretical basis, and be more professional than others to make yourself have strong competitiveness. The so-called "specialty", specific to warehousing and transportation, is that you should master theoretical knowledge from the aspects of warehouse location, warehousing principles, inventory control, transportation route optimization principles, order processing, etc., which are all tasks that must be completed when studying at school.

Then, analyze your target enterprise. For example, if you want to enter Suning Appliance, the logistics distribution center of that company mainly has two positions: warehousing and distribution, and their main inventory goods are electrical appliances. Then you have to find out the precautions in storage and transportation of electrical appliances, and even get familiar with the texture of various packaging of electrical appliances in advance-what kind of packaging has the maximum load bearing capacity, and are there any special requirements for storage ... In short, the saying that "many things grind" is true, although it is very rustic.

Master some knowledge of cost accounting. The most direct definition of logistics is "to control the cost to the greatest extent under the premise of customer satisfaction." Therefore, companies generally require employees to have good cost awareness and even let you participate in cost analysis and control. Recommended research: Microsoft office XP-MAC

Professional logistics company

Express delivery and other third-party logistics companies. The main positions are customs declaration, freight operation, shipping operation, procurement, warehouse management, witness, customer service, sales staff and so on.

Here, I strongly recommend that students learn English well so that they can enter foreign logistics companies after graduation. There, you will get perfect and systematic training and accumulate the best experience faster.

The four major international express delivery companies attach great importance to the training of new employees: before taking up their posts, the new employees of DHL in Sinotrans will take turns to enter various departments for rotation internships to ensure that they have direct experience in all business links of the company and know all professional knowledge before taking up their posts; UPS will train front-line operators in detail, such as truck drivers, and instruct them which finger to use to hold the car keys, so as to be safe and fast; FedEx, on the other hand, through 50 hours of training, enables new employees to know the development history, long-term planning and corporate culture of the company in a short time, and to understand the responsibilities of their posts. In the future, each employee will receive no less than 50 hours of course training every year.

Such a career development environment is undoubtedly the best for students who want to become the legendary "golden collar" in the logistics industry.

Internship as a student can not only familiarize yourself with the working environment, but also increase the weight for finding a job in the future. General students will come into contact with terminal operations such as warehousing, transportation and order processing during the internship, but don't think that this is "handyman" and do things carelessly. In fact, for you who want to be a senior logistics planning and management talent, it is your familiarity with these basic operations and processes that will make you handy in the planning or operation of large-scale logistics schemes in the future. It is conceivable that if you are not familiar with transportation routes, traffic rules and even stacking methods, how can you reasonably allocate your storage and transportation resources?

Logistics marketing: I am very familiar with the logistics operation system of the company and industry, and can effectively answer customers' questions about solutions. This kind of position also needs a certain professional foundation in marketing. Therefore, it is suggested that students find some materials in this field to read. In addition, they can also find some trade magazines on logistics. The above exercise plan is helpful for you to understand the boring theory in the textbook. Recommended certification: exporter qualification, marketing personnel, etc.

Logistics operation: there are mainly customs declarers, merchandisers and warehouse keepers. After graduates enter the logistics industry, their first contact is usually this kind of work. Recommended certification: customs broker, documentary, etc.

Logistics management and planning: middle and senior managers, mainly responsible for the operation of logistics system. Before entering management positions, newcomers generally need 2-5 years to accumulate experience in grass-roots positions and be familiar with the process and operation principle of logistics operation positions. The post of logistics planning is mainly responsible for the design and planning of logistics operation system. Recommended certification: ILT, logistics professional manager certification, logistics professional qualification certification.
