February 2015
Senior Buyer:
After you gain experience and build your leadership profile, you are ready to begin your main role of associate development. Once you have built your Carmax resume of achievements and milestones, you should periodically evaluate your workload and level of responsibility and how valuable you are to the company. Then honestly ask yourself if you are being compensated fairly for the what you do for the company as well as your team/store/region.

Leadership - Level Two.
Senior Buyer:
Pros: My profession is my passion. The fact that I can execute my job function with the leadership tools and skills I currently have - for this reason I can say I am on a level two leadership lever and striving to get to level three. Striving give the impression as it being difficult and complicated. No, on the contrary, I am loving my current job profile as it give me the opportunity to take on responsibility and accountability for my job function. As an individual I set my own personal short term goal (and being a goal driven woman) and enjoy he challenge in achieving those goals in my career. The interaction with my internal & external customers is vital for my job function to give the added value on our projects.
Cons: People mind set on change. It is much easier to change systems then to get people to let change begin within themselves.
