As a Cargo Reservations agent , I was responsible for answering phone calls and taking reservations from customers for Air Freight shipments. Then I would book those reservations on the computer. I also advised customers if we had room on a certain flight and did my best to accommodate them or come up with an agreeable alternative.

I was also responsible for finding missing shipments and getting them where they were supposed to go through the computer by sending emails and making phone calls.

I also filed airway bills and made sure they were in order and kept in an orderly manner.
