Procurement forces you to think out of the box on many occasions.
Pilar González
EMEA Contract Lead
I wanted to take on new challenges, and certainly, the Procurement world offers lots of them. Every day is different and may vary from receiving new suppliers, an urgent request to be resolved, or any amendment to execute to existent contracts, etc. Procurement forces you to think out of the box on many occasions.
Respect, tolerance, and open-minded approaches, in general. Clear and effective communication, proactiveness, and being a team player.
I would say that my most useful talents are my great attention to detail and my open-minded approach to any difficult situation.
With regard to my most useless talent, I have an innate talent to remember useless things very easily, such as song lyrics, outfits I wore at certain events in 1996, poems I learned in literature lessons at high school, etc.
When performing my daily tasks at work, I need to listen to ‘nature sounds’ such as waterfalls sound, singing birds, etc.
