Customs declarers are also called enterprise declarers and enterprise declarers. The following are common questions in the interview of customs declarers. Let's have a look.
Frequently asked questions in customs broker interview.
Please introduce yourself.
Comments: In fact, introducing yourself is a way to examine your expression ability, and it also gives you an opportunity to further reflect your work experience around your resume.
2. Have you ever done customs declaration?
Comments: In fact, you don't have to be a "customs broker", especially a self-operated customs broker, as long as you have relevant working experience in foreign trade enterprises. If you only have the experience of acting as a customs agent, you don't seem to have much advantage in self-care customs declaration enterprises; On the contrary, it is of little use to take care of the experience of customs declaration enterprises when applying for customs declaration agents. But it's not that there is no job opportunity without work experience. As long as you know the job well, you don't need to talk about it with Kan Kan. At the critical moment, "hitting the nail on the head" is the greatest success.
3. Why did you choose the job of customs broker?
Comments: This problem is usually encountered in the case of a large career change, and it is not excluded to ask similar questions to some non-international trade graduates. When you answer, the key is to express your career plan and your views on this industry. If your personality is not suitable for this position, or the fresh graduates do not have a complete career plan, then there will be training risks for enterprises. Human resources departments usually try to avoid spending time and energy training a person before he can leave his job at any time.
Because of the different nature of work, these two types of enterprises will also have some more targeted problems.
Among them, in the customs declaration agency, we may encounter the following situations:
1, on-site written test
Comments: I once did a written test in DHL, including commodity classification and tariff calculation. As a comrade who has passed the exam, don't tell me you can't!
2. What car have you driven?
Comments: In the customs declaration agency, driving skill is an essential skill for every customs declarant. Some companies will not ask if you have a driver's license, but what car you have driven. Because in the customs broker, it is impossible to assign a driver to each customs broker, and you have to drive yourself to and from various places. In self-care customs declaration enterprises, there are few opportunities to drive by themselves, and generally they have to apply for a company car to go out.
3. What should I do if I encounter a bribe from the customs?
Comments: This is a very challenging question, and everyone needs to think about it.
In self-declared enterprises, we may encounter the following situations:
1, or written test
Comments: Different from the agent customs declaration enterprises, if the self-care customs declaration enterprises urgently need new people to take over the work immediately, then there may be a procedure for you to explain the procedure. I once met a Taiwan-funded enterprise, and they only gave me a blank sheet of paper, asking me to list all the documents needed to revise the manual.
2. The contribution of previous work experience to the current position.
Comments: This is also a very challenging question. Anyone who really knows customs declaration knows that even if you have been engaged in customs declaration, worked in a customs broker or worked in an enterprise that produces other kinds of products, it seems that you can't make the greatest contribution to winning your present job. For example, customs declarers know nothing about the work of enterprises, bonded warehouses are unfamiliar with processing trade, and airlines are unfamiliar with shipping. ...
Practical problems in the interview of customs declarers
Please introduce yourself.
Answer Tip: Most people answer this question too many times and only say their name, age, hobbies and work experience, which are all on their resumes. In fact, what enterprises want to know most is whether job seekers are competent, including: the strongest skills, the deepest knowledge field, the most positive part of personality, the most successful things they have done, the main achievements and so on. These can have nothing to do with learning, but they can also be related to learning, but they should be positive. Enterprises attach great importance to a person's courtesy. Job seekers should respect the examiner and say "thank you" after answering every question. Enterprises like polite job seekers.
2. What do you think is the greatest strength of your personality?
Answer prompt: calm, clear-cut, firm and tenacious.
Helpful and caring, adaptability and sense of humor, optimism and friendliness. After one or two years' training and practical project of Beida Jade Bird, plus internship, I am suitable for this job. I believe I can succeed.
3. What is your salary requirement?
Answer tip: If you ask too little for salary, you obviously belittle your ability. If the salary is too high, it will make you overweight and the company can't afford it. Some employers usually set a budget in advance for the positions they apply for, so their first job is often the highest price they can offer. They only ask you to confirm whether the money is enough to arouse your interest in the job.
Answer sample 1: "I don't have a rigid requirement for salary." I believe your company will handle my problem in a friendly and reasonable way. I focus on finding suitable job opportunities, so as long as the conditions are fair, I won't care too much.
Answer Sample 2: I have received systematic training in software programming and don't need much training. And I am particularly interested in programming myself. So I hope the company can give me a reasonable salary according to my situation and the level of market standards.
Sample 3: If you have to say the specific figures yourself, please don't say the broad range, then you will only get the smallest figures. It's best to give a specific figure to show that you have made a survey on today's talent market and know what kind of value employees with academic qualifications like you have.
4. What do you think of overtime?
Answer tip: In fact, many companies ask this question, which does not prove that they must work overtime. Just want to test whether you are willing to contribute to the company.
Sample answer: I will be forced to work overtime if my job requires it. I am single now, without any family burden, and I can devote myself to my work. But at the same time, I will also improve work efficiency and reduce unnecessary overtime.
5. Tell me about your greatest weakness?
Answer tip: This question is likely to be asked by enterprises, and they usually don't want to hear what are the shortcomings of direct answers. If the job seeker says that he is narrow-minded, jealous, lazy, bad-tempered and inefficient, the company will definitely not hire you. Never be smart enough to answer "My greatest weakness is to pursue perfection too much". Some people think that such an answer will make them look better, but in fact, they are already in danger. Enterprises like job seekers to talk about their own advantages, add some minor shortcomings in the middle, and finally turn the problem back to advantages and highlight advantages. Enterprises like smart job seekers.
6. What is your career plan in five years?
Answer Tip: This is a question that every candidate doesn't want to be asked, but almost everyone will be asked. More answers are "managers". But in recent years, many companies have established special technical channels. These positions are usually called "consultants", "participating technicians" or "senior software engineers" and so on. Of course, you can also name other positions you are interested in, such as product sales manager, production manager and other positions related to your major. You know, examiners always like enterprising candidates. If you say "I don't know" at this time, you may miss a good opportunity. The most common answer should be "I am going to make a difference in the technical field" or "I hope to develop according to the company's management ideas".
7. What do your friends say about you?
Answer hint: I want to know about your personality and the problems of getting along with others from the side.
The sample replied, "My friends all say that I am a trustworthy person. Because once I promise something to others, I will definitely do it. If I can't do it, I won't say yes easily.
Answer sample: "I think I am an easy-going person and can get along well with different people." When I get along with people, I can always consider problems from the perspective of others. "
8. What do you think should you do if you make mistakes in your work and cause economic losses to our company?
Answer the prompt:
My original intention is to work hard for the company. If economic losses are caused, I think the first problem is to find ways to make up or recover the economic losses. If I am unable to take responsibility, I hope the unit can help me solve it.
② It is a question of responsibility. Distinguish responsibilities and perform their duties. If it is my responsibility, I am willing to be punished. If it is someone else's fault in a team I am in charge of, I can't gloat. As a team, I need to help each other finish the work, comfort my colleagues, help them find reasons and sum up experience.
Summing up experience and lessons, one can't make mistakes all one's life. It is important to learn from your own or others' mistakes and avoid making similar mistakes in future work. Review your own working methods and analyze whether the depth and intensity of the problem are not enough, leading to avoidable mistakes.
9. What will you do if you are hired by our company through this interview, but after working for a period of time, you find that you are not suitable for this position at all?
Answer tip: There are two situations, and I find that my job is not suitable for me for a while:
1. If you really love this profession, you should keep learning, learn business knowledge and experience from leaders and colleagues with an open mind, understand the spiritual connotation and professional requirements of this profession, and strive to narrow the gap.
If you think this career is dispensable, you'd better change your career as soon as possible and find a career that suits you and you love. Then your development prospects will be even greater, which will be beneficial to both units and individuals.
10, when you finish a job, you think the way required by the leader is not the best, and you have a better way. What should you do?
Answer the prompt:
In principle, I will respect and obey the work arrangement of the leader, and at the same time find opportunities to express my thoughts diplomatically in private to see if the leader can change his mind.
(2) If the leader doesn't adopt my suggestion, I will finish the work seriously according to the requirements of the leader.
(3) There is another situation. If the way the leader asks violates the principle, I will resolutely raise objections. If the leader is still stubborn, I will not hesitate to reflect to the superior leader.
