Experienced Export Coordinator Seeking New Opportunities
About Me – Professional Profile
I currently work at Norel, an animal nutrition company, as a Coordinator for the Export Department.
My role is varied and involves sales and service support, administration support, order processing, and liaison with manufacturing and service divisions, including direct customer support.
I follow up on sales and service opportunities to secure business, create customer quotations, manage order processing, carry out export control checks, coordinate international logistics payments, and liaise with freight forwarders/couriers regarding letters of credit, transhipments, etc.
Experience and Motivation
Why This Position?
I feel that my skills and experience match the position. Ntro. Prod. Estrella is similar to an MMPP, and it’s essential to optimize stock, both in sales forecasting for future purchases and current rotation, as the price constantly varies.
Therefore, it’s crucial to understand the supply chain and collaborate with purchasing, production, suppliers, and customers.
Customer service is key to providing excellent service, identifying issues, and offering solutions.
Prioritizing with schedules is also important.
Internal client liaison with different departments, clients, and suppliers is a significant part of the role.
Top Duties in Current Position
Provide proactive, high-level customer service within tight deadlines.
Reason for Leaving Current Position
The company is losing money, and there are no advancement opportunities.
Knowledge of This Company/Position
It’s one of the leaders in the market, is going through fast growth and expansion, and has a proven record of financial stability.
What I’m Looking for in a Company/Job
What Motivates Me
- Satisfaction of solving complex problems
- Creating order out of chaos and confusion
- Helping people with service needs or questions
- Seeing that your efforts make a difference in the lives of others
Strengths and Weaknesses
Handling Stress
I manage it well.
Greatest Weakness/Strength
Strength: Reliability. My superiors and supervisors know that I’m always ready to assume new assignments if required. Of course, that means I can achieve those goals because of my determination. I never say “no” to a new responsibility. I am a good team builder and organizer; the team is my natural environment.
Weakness: Getting impatient with people if deadlines are missed.
Career Goals and Salary Expectations
Five-Year Plan and Career Goals
In five years, I would have contributed significantly to the company and be capable of taking on new responsibilities and challenges.
My first goal will be to meet or exceed your expectations in the position I’m applying for. After that, I would enjoy the responsibilities of management. I’m patient with others and like the challenges of leadership.
Current Earnings and Salary Expectations
I’m pretty flexible and open. I’m sure you will make me a fair offer. It depends on the value of the entire package – benefits, 401K, bonus – and the excitement level of the job. My current base salary is $75,000. It would be ideal to get a reasonable increase over my current base, but again, it depends on the entire package.

Biggest Mistake and Lesson Learned
A few years ago, my Manager conducted interviews to evaluate the work environment, and I suggested better internal communication. I had learned that our account number had changed, but neither the Export Department nor foreign customers were informed. My Manager agreed, but the chief accountant was not pleased, and it took time to regain their confidence. This taught me the importance of considering the impact of my suggestions on others.
Management and Teamwork

He treats people with courtesy and respect, allows me the freedom to do my job with minimal supervision, and is available when I need him.
