Becoming a buyer for a retail store involves long hours during the holidays, late nights and weekends but a love of fashion makes a career in this field rewarding and worthwhile. Assisting customers is the number one goal on a daily basis and to make the clothes sell, ensuring that one is buying the right clothes and providing the best customer service. Attending about 10 trade shows a year is necessary to secure the proper fashion to have in one's store.
Store managers supervise a retail organization's staff, meet customer needs and plan and coordinate sales, merchandising and budgeting. In order to effectively perform the multitude of tasks required, managers should work well under pressure and with deadlines, and have significant experience in retail business and human resources. They also need strong leadership, interpersonal and multitasking skills.
Limited on-the-job training. Most managers will have worked in retail previously as salespeople.
