About the role
This interview covers the full freight-forwarding cycle, from quoting and booking to customs handover and final delivery. The panel wants evidence that you can control detail, make sound routing decisions and keep clients informed when plans change.
How to prepare
- Map the steps, documents and parties in one ocean or air shipment you handled from origin to delivery.
- Prepare examples of solving a booking, documentation or customs handover problem before it became costly.
- Review how you compare freight rates, transit time, reliability and likely destination charges.
- Practise explaining a delay to a client with a clear recovery plan and realistic next update.
- Refresh your knowledge of common freight terms and the responsibilities they allocate between buyer and seller.
Common mistakes
- Treating a low freight rate as the best option without discussing transit risk and destination costs.
- Giving vague shipment updates without an owner, next action or update time.
- Blaming carriers or agents instead of showing how you recovered the movement.
- Overlooking document checks until cargo is already at the port or airport.
