Jobs that interest me..... Visual / Brand Experience Manager: This job is for someone who is excellent in customer service through visual presentation, merchandise placement and merchandise handling logistics. They must have the ability to provide customers with an optimal shopping experience. You must be able to work in teams and complete tasks as a leader and also have the ability to drive sales performance and related metrics on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. While working at this job some of your top responsibilities other than providing a clean, well merchandised store is to provide training to new employees, oversee and execute markdowns, perform stock transfers, handle shipment receiving and processing, and many other responsibilities. This job interests me and would be a good fit because I’ve always liked the idea of being a manager, and having the visual aspect combined with it would just be a dream. I enjoy customer service, but also managing tasks and overseeing other people so I feel it would really work with my personality as well.
Photo Stylist - Catalog: Some of the responsibilities of this job are to style assigned Men’s, Women’s and Home Products with a great deal of creativity, invention, imagination, and originality, use independent judgment to work with photographers and creative staff and hit the “styling target”, view layout and pre- pare the subject for photography using innovative techniques, assist in identifying peak needs and times for additional styling resources, maintaining and finding all supplies necessary for styling, and working directly with the studio manager and photography to develop photo schedule. I think this job would be great for me because I’ve always been into photography all throughout high school. I was even in the photography club, so I know about layouts of photos and what would look best when it is filmed so I think this would be a fun and exciting job for me.
Merchandising Assistant: The responsibilities of this job are to communicate via email to with factories overseas, initiate confirmation of customer samples, interact daily with sales staff, work with design on seasonal development and line review, assist the departments designer in sending out and assembly of all item tech packages, work closely with production and sourcing when necessary, assist department designer in creation and merchandising of seasonal presentation boards, work with sourcing manager on finding updated items for customer and track packaging development. I think this would be a good job for me because I’ve always had an interest in merchandising, and this would be a good place to at least start and get into the business without actually being a buyer.
