its a sunset industry. we are looking to get out and i dont know why theres still people trying to get in. there are better jobs out there that commands better pay. the norm now is at least a Degree in any major, gift of the gap, LOOK PRESENTABLE and street smart.

it may look glamorous, but take into account you have to standby ur work handphone in case of disputes. (even on holidays). be damn good at drinking and sociable. there are nights where u need to drink 3rd 4th rounds in a night.

do consider other jobs, its a sunset and sinking industry.
we "trade" via Yahoo Messengers. the main bulk of work comes during 1630 local time, this is where the market is "active". prices get passed to buyers. buyers will "counter" a lower price to the trader/broker, in turn, will relay the price back to the supply house(supplier)

so ding and dong, price settled. operations take over to ensure on time delivery of cargo. being said, that is the norm. there will be ****-hit-the-fan moments. you will learn it along the way .
