As an export coordinator, you prepare cargo and shipments for ships heading abroad. Your job duties include maintaining shipping records, keeping accurate documentation, and interacting with freight agents. Communication skills are a must, as you interact directly with clients on a daily basis. Additional qualifications are experience in the shipping industry and knowledge of the export business, including administrative regulations. Although your employer will most likely provide on-the-job training, a bachelor’s degree can help you gain the analytical and organizations skills needed for this career.
