I realize many of the posters on this site live in Vancouver, Seattle and LA (port cities) and I suspect some of you may be involved with trade/shipping logistics. This is an industry I am passionate about and desperate to break into.
I just graduated (Dec. 09) with a degree in International Economics and have internship experience with the Department of Commerce - International Trade Administration at the local level and at HQ in DC. I am familiar with most export documentation and am considering getting my Customs Brokers license (is a license advisable or necessary?). Willing to relocate.
Would anyone currently in this line of work please offer some advice of how to break into it? I am willing to take an internship with the possibility of a job if that is what it takes. What are typical entry-level job descriptions (export documentation manager??) I am most interested in Freight Forwarding or a Customs Brokerage firm.
Thanks!
