“As an assistant merchant, you learn the operational side of the business while supporting a lead merchant in driving the strategic direction of the brand and its performance. You know the customer – you know the market intelligence – and you’re able to translate the world of fashion into business strategy and ultimately bring the right ideas to market at the right time.”
I applied. Now I wait.
Final selections are made by early May.
My tragic flaw is that I haven’t worked clothing retail.
