Amy the Retail Buyer

Hello everyone,

my name is Amy, and I love to shop. That is why I believe that my job as retail buyer is perfect for me.


As the name implies, my job consists of buying. I select goods to buy for specific companies. My area of expertise is clothes, because that is my favourite thing to buy. I work for a department store in my local mall. I have to keep an eye out for trends and try my best to meet people's interests, because my decisions as buyer directly affect the store's sales. I must make sure to buy merchandise that will be sold.

I think that one of my qualities is how observant I am. When I see a new trend coming in and an old one going out of style, I take note of this in my black notebook I carry everywhere. This helps a lot for my job because what I buy for the store is affected by my observations.

One thing I like about my job is that I get to travel. Since my job is related to fashion, I get to visit famous fashion capitals, such as Paris, Milan, London and New York. I also work with different people everyday, which is something I enjoy, because I am a very extroverted person. I think that my great communication skills are a bonus for this job.

I can choose to either order the merchandise online or go to the stores myself, which is what I prefer doing because I love to be able to see the product myself.

I also enjoy the fact that I get free clothes as bonuses every once in a while.

I have to go make an order, see you later!

Amy

Sometimes I attend fashion shows
