Is a Career in Contracting for Me?

Do you like to make improvements, solve problems, or take corrective action when problems arise?

Can you picture yourself negotiating with individuals or organizations to resolve conflicts, disputes, or grievances?

If so, this career is for you!

Imagine making strategic business decisions on behalf of the world's largest buyer, the U.S. Government. Your skills will help the Government find the very best ways to spend more than $400 billion a year, on everything from information technology to defense and homeland security, to the environment, transportation, biomedical research and education. In short, you will be providing the Government with the goods and services it needs to serve the American people and the world. No wonder contracting professionals enjoy an exciting career with many opportunities and activities.

• Because of changes in the workforce, your career is in high demand throughout the Federal Government. That means a wide variety of positions at every level as well as career paths where you can move and grow.
• Your career will have the value of being mission critical to programs authorized by Congress, which translates into meaningful work and personal job security. Furthermore, the post 9/11 world has called for an unparalleled effort to discern and acquire the very best technologies and systems to protect our Nation and the free world.
• If you like to travel, you'll find opportunities throughout the continental United States and every corner of the globe.
• The training you'll receive as an acquisition professional will help you wherever you go in your career, across Federal agencies or into private sector purchasing positions. When you've worked for Uncle Sam, employers know you have applied the most rigorous approach to buying goods and services anywhere. And you'll continue to receive professional development throughout your career.

Being an acquisition professional makes you a strategic member of a team. You'll collaborate closely with program and technical managers trusted with key projects. You'll also work with world renowned leaders in the acquisition field both from other agencies and private sector contractors. Most important, you'll be in a pivotal role from day one.
