Position: Apparel Buyer
Company: Nasty Gal
This job listing I found seeking an apparel buyer for the fashion company
Nasty Gal is an informative and attractive posting. After reading through it a
couple times, I felt everything stated on it was necessary for the potential applicant
to know and understand. Apparel Buyers are an essential part for any fashion company
and they need to be highly knowledgeable and experienced in many areas of
fashion. They have the job description set up by category one titled “in this
role you will” and then another titled “you”.
Under the “in this role you will” category is the job duties and responsibilities.
Every point is a mandatory job, task, or responsibility that the employee must
know how to do or learn fairly quickly on the job. Assisting in developing and
driving key departmental merchandising strategies across all development types
that are both conceptually & financially sound, is a job duty they need to have
much experience with. The employee must be able to be a leader because they are
in charge of a group of people who help develop the marketing and merchandising
for the company to positively activate sales. Also
falling under able to be a leader is because they will be acting as a Mentor
and training associate & assistant buyers and also overseeing development
and workload of Assistant and MA.
I do believe
more emphasis should be put on the travel aspect of the job as there will be a
lot for the employee who needs to seek out apparel from many places in the US
and even out of the country. Though this can be elaborated on in the interview I
feel more information could potentially save the employee and employer time by
only interviewing people who are serious and fully informed. Under the “you”
category is the skills and requirements of the employee. I feel this is a good
list to start with and it will definitely help sort the potentials and the ones
who need more experience or education first.
