FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Do I need English for this job?

For domestic work A2 to B1 is usually fine. But if you want to join an international company or handle EU and Asia routes, B2 is the floor: carrier negotiations and shipping docs are mostly in English.

How do I break into logistics coordination from zero?

Most people start as a logistics assistant or dispatcher and move up in 6 to 12 months. A short course on foreign trade and Incoterms plus solid Excel gives you a real edge at the interview.

Should I list specific TMS systems on my CV?

Absolutely. Recruiters often filter CVs by system names like SAP TM, Oracle TMS or NetSuite. If you worked on an in-house tool, describe its features and the data volume you handled.

How do I show results if I haven't led shipments solo yet?

Quantify the volume you supported: shipments processed, documents prepared, carriers managed. Volume metrics matter to recruiters, not just budget savings.

Is moving from logistics into operations management realistic?

Yes, it's the standard track. After 3 to 5 years of coordination with team and budget exposure, you're ready to step into an operations manager role.
