Question: What is the single, most valuable piece of experience I could get that would help me have a successful long-term career in the Purchasing Management industry?

Answer: The Purchasing Management Profession offers so many valuable experiences and this is what makes it such a fascinating field in which to work.  There are rarely two days that are exactly the same to most Purchasing Management Professionals.  Also the exposure to different facets of the industry is another valuable piece of experience.  A Purchasing Management Professional, unlike professionals in other fields, can experience working with external customers and understanding the needs from a customer’s perspective.  The Purchasing Management Professional can experience working with other departments within the organization and understand their needs in order to be a successful part of the organization. There is probably no single piece of experience, but a conglomeration of experience from various departments that can benefit the long-term Purchasing Management career.
