P5
  1. Decision making
    1. I had to decide what clothes went on the fixtures. when i was left to do a feature wall by myself, i had to decide what items when where and how to display them to make the customers drawn in to buy them.
      1. To be a visual merchandiser to need to be able to think on your feet and plan how to are going to do a feature wall. You need to know what sells in the store and what doesn't.You need to make sure you decide carefully and choice the right option as it could end up being the wrong oone and lose you sales which could lead you getting in trouble.
    2. Organisation
      1. while on my placement i had to organise the stock room to make sure it was all clean and tidy to make it easier to put stock out. I also refreshed the shop floor to make sure that all the sizes we needed was on the shop floor. Shadowing my buddy Stef while on placement thought me to write down everything that needs to be done eeeach day which made able to plan what was needed to do each day and make me much more organised.
        1. You need to be organised on any job you going into this is because you need to make sure you are on track and have a clear head when you are busy and are finding yourself with something to always do. So i need to make sure that every task is done and meant i have expanded on my organisation skills from my work placement which i can take away with me to any job.
      2. Team work
        1. Being on my work placement it has helped me to developed and expand on my team work skills they taught me that getting tasks done quickly is to do it together, the whole time while being on work placement I was working in a team this is because we was moving fixtures and fittings which was needed to be done together as a team which helped me to work together in a team and how to communicate together as a team. i also worked as team to build the new store which allowed me to communicate and work together as part of a team to get the store done in time and get everything ready for the press day.
          1. In your career, you will always have to at some point work in a team or even with a partner along side of you.this is key this is because you can both give your opinions on what you have to do to get the work done quickly to the best standard you can give.
        2. Flexibility
          1. while being on placement i wasn't only able to do visual merchandising i was able to do many different tasks that they needed me to do such as doing shop floor work if they had short staff. i also came in early every morning and stayed late to help out if they needed me.
            1. Being flexible in your job is always a good skill to have this is because 9 times out of 10 you will be asked to put in some more hours which will always look good on you. Being a Visual merchandiser means you will have to do a lot of early mornings, late nights and even night shifts to get the visuals done.
          2. Meeting deadlines
            1. Being on placement meant i was able to develop my time management skills, my buddy taught me that making a list of everything that needs to be done and when it needs to be done also while being on placement we had to move stock around on the shop floor to make space for the new stock coming in delivery read to in time for the store to be opened at half 9 I found that this helped me because now I can meet deadlines under pressure.
              1. In any job you have to need to keep to deadlines and to be able to hand in work in on time or make a meeting in time and not be late, you always need to be on track with what you are doing and make sure you are not falling behind.Meeting deadline makes you look good in front of you boss which could lead to promotions and bonuses
