The latest career advice from people with this job:
Buyer Jobs
Making the workday pleasant
Buyer - (City withheld for privacy), Texas, United States
Having a "good" job which makes you happy should provide 4 things, and that's really it:
-A sense that you are producing something meaningful
-Clear and frequent performance feedback from superiors
-Pleasant coworkers whom you respect(whom you can at least tolerate)
-At least 2 "close" friends at work
ANything more than that makes it not a "job," but a lifestyle, which is fine if that is what you really want in a job.
