I just saw this job ad and have some comments. Please, begin reading...
Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Travel
PURCHASING AGENT
Entry level purchasing agent position for individual with basic procurement or contract skills.
Okay, stop there. "Entry level" should be hyphenated, no?
Keep that thought in mind and keep reading.
Provide support to the Purchasing Department by managing and monitoring purchase contracts ensuring compliance with contract terms. Issue competitive solicitations including Request for Quotes, Request for Proposals and Requests for Qualifications as needed. Resolve contract performance and payment issues, manage third party contract interface, and maintain related purchase orders, contracts and catalog items. Responsible for the routine procurement of goods and services including freight, cellular phones, food products and equipment as well as potential involvement with campus-wide and multi-entity initiatives. Assist with negotiations of on-going contracts for the entire campus. Evaluate and recommend appropriate methods for procuring requested goods and services. Ensure compliance with Federal and State Laws, Regents and University policies and procedures and the University's Strategic plan, plus departmental and divisional mission statements.
Requirements:
• A Bachelor's degree in Business Administration or a related field, or the equivalent combination of education and experience is required; a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree is preferred.
And there it is. This is an "entry level" or "entry-level" position and in order to qualify, you need a MBA. Makes no sense.
As for me, I'm not going ANYWHERE!
