P5
  1. Team work
    1. Me and a few other girls from the college had the opportunity to dress some mannequins. We got to chose the clothes we wanted and all the sizes. We also split intp 2 groups and did a comp shop. my team went into selfridgtes and the other team went to regents street where we wrote down information and took loads of pictures
      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 as you can both give your opinions on what you have to do and get the work done quicker
    2. Organisation
      1. I sorted out the rails in the back where all the stock was kept. There was rails everywhere from over stock due to the Christmas period approaching so I helped organise it so it was a lot more tidy and easy to access
        1. You need to have good organisation in any chosen job you decide to have when you're older as you need to make sure all tasks are completed. I will need this in Buying as I will be very busy and always have something to do so I'll need to make sure that every task I do is done efficiently and correct so I am organised and can move on to the next task
      2. Decision Making
        1. I had to decide what items would go on the mannequins when I was told to dress a mannequin all by myself. I had to decide what items go with what to chose the correct sizes.
          1. For buying, you definitely need to have good decision making. This is because you need to know exactly what would sell in the shops. You need to make sure that you decide carefully and choose the right option as it could end up in the item not selling and you could loose your job or get into trouble.
        2. Verbal Communication
          1. I had to communicate with all different types of customers on each floor I worked on during the 3 weeks. Also, I had to help the customers and help find them clothes that they was looking for and give my opinion when they asked what the garment would look like on them.
            1. I will need to have verbal communication as a skill in the future for my chosen career path as it means I can get things done and I can get the message across which Im trying to say. You always need communication in any job but especially in Buying as you need to negotiate with the suppliers
          2. Flexibility
            1. I was able to help do different tasks when the staff needed help as they had a lack of staff. I also came in early some days when they asked me to for extra help.
              1. Being flexible in your job is always a good skill to have. If a company notices how flexible you are, they will be very impressed. Being a buyer means that you need to be flexible at all times. As buyers travel a lot,they need to make sure theyre able to fly to different places when they need to, or come into work early to finish off an important task.
