Agribusiness in a Global Environment Lesson 10
Lesson 10 Activity - Careers


Now that you're an experienced exporter and have demonstrated that you know the business (at least in a classroom, theoretical situation), it's time to get into the REAL world. You've explored through various activities many of the aspects, and therefore job opportunities, of the export industry. This last assignment is to decide which of these opportunities appeals most to you, and to find a real-life job opening.

Look online, in trade journals, newspaper ads, or other sources and find a "help wanted" type advertisement for a job related to the export industry. Then, get some more information about this job. Find:

  1. Job Requirements. These may include:
    Education level

    Experience needed

    Language(s) fluency

    Specific certification

    Or other requirements

  2. Salary

  3. Promotion Opportunities

  4. Responsibilities

  5. Major Company Operations

  6. Location of Main Offices

  7. Normal Travel Required

  8. Any other pertinent information.
Make a list of the information you've found, along with why you want this job and any personal traits you feel would be advantageous. Turn it in to your teacher. Or, if you're really looking for a job, send your resume to the proper person. Who knows - you may be the next millionaire exporter!
