I think the skills required by overseas marketing positions are open communication, analytical skills, understanding needs in the market, cooperative taxes with various departments, big data utilization skills, and the ability to deal with the enterprise resource management system (ERP).
For a year, a manufacturing company called TOPFIELD, Australia worked with various departments for marketing planning, purchasing and overseas business. In this process, we developed the needs for collaboration and communication skills with other departments. Even though it was my first company, my first job, I had my opinion that I added functionality to the product, received incentives for increased sales revenue in the region, and had a reference from my boss. In addition, foreign companies have developed their operational capabilities and analytical skills by identifying customer needs and analyzing the relationship between suppliers and competitors. And, the ability to analyze the strengths and weakness of subcontractor has been developed by purchasing the parts of the subcontractor.
When, I came back to Korea, I received a second-class inspection from a foreign export specialist on auto parts operated by the Korea International Trade Association. Learning about trade, process system, and overseas sales and marketing plan, I have been trained to enter the current job right away based on my knowledge. I’ve won the best award in export and import simulation, which was the most impressive project. Due to the lack of resource management in the company, the company failed to export its products overseas, but it was more valuable as the most accurate and analytical award.
Through this process, I felt the needs for knowledge of the enterprise-wide resource management system. So, I’m taking classes at AJOU University Graduate School of Business as an ERP major on weekends. Even, after the result I received from the Korea International Trade Association, I have been trained because I believe it will help me to perform my company’s business by acquiring and SAP international certificate.
To become a competitive new employee with analytical skills, collaborative skills, and ERP system, I will enter the company with the spirit to make creative use of my experience and challenge passionately.
