How can a buyer make the most out of influencer content without falling prey to hype?
What checklist should a buyer follow — e.g. verify documentation, visit site (if possible), compare with similar properties, cross-check claims? What balance between digital research and ground-level verification is optimal? Should buyers treat influencer videos only as “first filter” and not as final deciding tool?
How to start a career as fashion buyer?
I am a fashion buying student at the University of Westminster struggling to find an internship in the fashion industry. My ultimate aspiration is to become a buyer for a luxury e-commerce retailer but, as it will be my first experience, I am open to everything. I have sent applications for many different roles in many different companies but I have not found a job yet. For this reason, I am now asking advice to someone who has experience in the #apparel-and-fashion industry on how to get my first experience. Thanks in advance to everyone who will decide to help me. #future-careers #fashion #buyer #internship #retail
What majors are good for me to take if I want to be a fashion buyer?
I am currently researching job outlooks on purchasing managers in my Money Management class. I know that the major of Fashion Merchandising is helpful for this career, but I was wondering what other careers are helpful as well. As a senior in high school, I am hoping to major in Advertising and Marketing in college and I was wondering if that major would help me go into fashion buying as well. #college #management #marketing #fashion #major #buyer
