What is it like working as a Purchaser?
September 2017
I want to know all the process on how to be a good Purchaser.
Purchaser

I will advise him/her to be specific on the item you want to purchase. Be a quality, cost, wise and reliable purchaser. Prove to other that you can do your job even your boss is out of the office.

Multitasking To The Next Level.
Purchaser
:
For stress level, I would suggest they pay well.If you have to do 5 other jobs at the same time and not get paid, would highly not advice. The amount of years you do this job can net you many contacts and wealthy connections for future work.

Overall experience, the perks and the lows.
Purchaser
:
Pros: I like the purchasing experience. I enjoy the negotiations, the challenge of purchasing at the right time for the best prices. We deal with hundreds of suppliers which is a challenge, but I enjoy it. I also get to travel to buying shows which has brought me to many places I probably would have never gone before.
Cons: It can be quite stressful at times, trying to balance inventory levels and dealing with the staff, making sure everyone is happy. I spend a lot more than 40 hours a week most of the time. I also do customer service which really cuts into the time I need for purchasing.
