Account Executive Resume Example

I handled all aspects of ocean export shipments. From the time the shipper/customer calls to the closing of the file. Whether the shipper is calling to lets us know the shipment is ready or needs a rate quote. From there I arrange trucking to pick the container up. (If it is a full container load opposed to LCL) I make a booking with the steamship line and have the container delivered to whichever port it is sailing out of. I then start to gather all the necessary paperwork. Commercial invoice, packing slip, and whatever documentation is required by the country the shipment is going to. I prepare the house bill of lading and send it to the steamship line. I file the schedule B. When I receive the master bill of lading I prepare all the documents that will be sent to our agent overseas so they can prepare for the shipment to arrive. I then close out the file after the vessel has arrived and prepare a house invoice to bill the customer for our services, trucking, and ocean freight costs. I also prepare any documents that the country requires. Such as fumigation, certificate or origin, or if it is a letter of credit I arrange all the documents and bank draft according to the L/C. Some documents require legalization so I would handle those. I also track all my shipments to keep the customer updated on the whereabouts and progress of their shipment. I then send all the paperwork to our agent overseas so that they can begin the process of customs clearance and delivery to the consignee.
