Considering the wealth of knowledge here about spoons and related products, I thought I'd get some good advive on my prospect career move.
After 10 years as a business consultant and 10 more years as an international business development manager for a small civil engineering company I am interviewing for a position as an international business development manager for a company that manufactures military ammunition (bullets, bombs, grenades, mortar rounds, etc.).
I have the last round of interviews this coming week and still have some doubts about how armies buy their ammunition. I have asked a couple of military friends and they have told me that the buying process is through public tenders, which makes it similar to how governments procure engineering for roads and railways (my current job). Since I would be selling in international markets I imagine each country would have its own process.
I am also worried that the industry is some kind of an "ex-military club" where you can only get in if you have served in the army (which I have not). I do not have any direct experience with guns not have fired one in my life, although I love military history and know about the different systems, calibers, etc.
Finally, I am a bit concerned about the future but I think that all military-related expenditures will grow in the foresseable future.
Well, thanks for reading. Any advice regarding the industry and its future will be much welcome
