One of the all time greats in retail marketing (including buyer/purchasing managers) is Proctor and Gamble. Here's a link to an open job they have for purchasing manager in Cinci - not too far from you. https://pg.taleo.net/careersection/10000/jobdetail.ftl?job=PUR00000968 Given you are open to moving - there are a ton of purchasing manager positions around. Remember getting that right gig is a numbers game. Apply to 2-3 each day and follow-up each one and I am sure you'll have success in landing the right one this fall. You should be able to find good leads in our jobs section - we gather over 6 million listings a day and we also give you the ability to include listings from good job boards like Indeed and Careerbuilder as well. Good luck, Jill. You've got a lot of Jobcasers rooting for you! Fred
