Personal Note:
I understand a Purchase Manager needs to be cost effective while also
dealing with other factors such as sustainability, risk management and
ethical issues.
Purchasing and supply management is an important role for any business or
organization. More than two-thirds of revenue can be spent on buying the
products or services, meaning the Purchase Manager can make a real
difference in cost saving and profit.
Thank you for your time and review of the resume, and I look forward to
speaking with you on this opportunity.
