Buyers Job Overview
Buyers, often called purchasing agents, buy items for a living. They work for a specific organization, purchasing goods or services
the organization requires. These goods are then used by the organization, or resold to third party customers. Buyers can be either
retail buyers or wholesale buyers. Both types of buyers purchase goods such as clothing, food, electronics, stationery, and other
similar items. The only difference is that retail buyers purchase goods in small quantities, as per requirements, while wholesale
buyers always purchase goods in bulk.
Buyers Schools and Degrees
Educational requirements of buyers vary according to the organization that they work for. Most large stores and distributors prefer to
hire buyers who have completed at least a bachelor's degree in a commerce related field. Some manufacturing firms may require the buyers
to have additional certifications or degrees in the fields related to the firm, such as, applied sciences, engineering, economics, and
business. In order to reach the top levels in the field, a master's degree is essential. Additionally, certifications such as Certified
Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) are extremely helpful in ascending ranks quickly.
Job Requirements
Qualified buyers need to complete training programs, which can last for any length of time between 1 to 5 years. During this time, they
have to report to experienced buyers and have to learn how commodities are handled, prices are negotiated, market fluctuations are predicted,
and so on. Trainee buyers usually start off by working as sellers of merchandise, and supervisors of sales workers. They also have to update
records of remaining stocks of goods, and have to check and record invoices of goods received or purchased. As they gain experience, they are
assigned additional duties, along with considerable increase in salary figures.
Buyers have to be proficient with word processing and spreadsheet software, and must be able to use the Internet to look up information about
market rates, find out about new suppliers entering the market, and keep tabs on competitors. They must also be able to analyze business data
pertaining to proposals made by suppliers. Good communication skills along with strong knowledge of mathematics, and accountancy, are a must.
Buyers must also have a clear idea about the functioning of supply chains, and be able to analyze financial operations of a company.
Experienced buyers may ascend to the levels of merchandise manager, or other managerial professionals. They may also switch careers to become
sales personnel for manufacturers, or even start their own business as independent wholesalers.
Nature of Work
Buyers have to purchase goods in either wholesale or retail basis, for the organization where they are employed. It is their job to make sure
that only goods of the best quality are purchased, and at reasonable prices. In order to be successful in their line of work, buyers should
acquire good technical knowledge about the goods and services that they buy.
Buyers often have to work for more than 40 hours every week, in order to meet production deadlines and special sales programs. They usually
work in comfortable office environments, but some projects may require them to travel to wholesale markets and independent retailers, in order
to get the best price for goods that they purchase.
Buyers Jobs and Outlook
The rate of employment of buyers is expected to rise to a very small extent over the next ten years. Candidates with bachelor's degree or
master's degree in the fields of commerce or business will have an edge in the job market.

Buyers by Metropolitan Area (city and its surroundings) In the table below, a Job Density near 0% means the area has an average number of people in this occupation, for its population. A higher or lower Job Density (e.g., +22% or -45%) tells you there are that many more or fewer workers of that type there than in the average US metro area. So, the higher the number, the more common the occupation. Alabama | City and Area | Median Salary | Employees | Job Density |
