James Ndung
Nairobi
Summary
As an Import and Export professional with a diploma in Computerized Clearing and
Forwarding from Nairobi Aviation College, I have amassed 10 plus years’ experience from
working at various freight forwarding companies. This has enabled me to develop
specific customer service experience and add valuable transferable skills necessary for
this industry. I possess mastery of customs clearance of goods, port operations and
insurance of imports; which would come in handy in achieving your organization’s goals
and objectives. Currently am out of work due to the Covid- 19 negative effects on
economy and am looking for a Clearing and Forwarding representative position to
improve operations, increase profitability and enhance growth. Looking forward to
working in a challenging position in an industry where I can utilize my knowledge, talents
and develop a career that will be mutually beneficial to the Organization and myself.
