My career goal has always been to become a buyer that is why I went into business. The entire process intrigues me and I would like to learn and be part of it. I enjoy meeting new people and establishing relationships. To have an opportunity to do so with vendors would be great. Trader Joe's has provided me with opportunities such as writing orders to fill our stores. I would like to have the opportunity to do things on a larger scale.
