Trading Jobs In San Francisco
How do I go about being a Buyer for Fashion Retailers or Fashion Boutiques?
I was wondering how to get a start into the Fashion Buying world in the U.S. Today I interviewed for a Merchant Technology Assistant job with Macy’s West in San Francisco. I’m thinking that’s a good way to get my foot in the door. Although, it might take awhile to work my way up and actually be involved in the decision making process (and traveling to trade shows or abroad) since Macy’s is a large retailer.
So, do any of you guys have any other suggestions on how to get a fashion buying job? Or where would be a good start? I do have previous retail experience and I have a Bachelor’s Degree. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks ![]()
EDIT: Where else would be good places to look for entry-level positions within Fashion Buying??
The experience you already possess, and your degree are huge pluses! It’s true that in most cases, you have to work your way up to Buyer, but it’s not the longest process in the world, as Buyers are always in demand, and stores and successful boutiques are always stealing Buyers from each other. Should you get the Merchant Tech position, that would be a great foot in the door. Once you’re in, be sure to let your boss know, in a tactful way, that you’re interested in becoming a buyer.
Best of luck!

The New Geography of Jobs (Hardcover) $27 A rising young economist at Berkeley argues that where you live will soon determine how successful you are?and tells us what that means for the country. There are many factors that determine a person`s success in life. We know that intelligence is only a small part of the equation?character traits like self-control, grit, and willpower are also important. Now an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, has found something that might matter even more: geography. In this important and persuasive book, Enrico Moretti argues that a "new geography of jobs" is emerging, and it`s benefiting centers of innovation like San Francisco, Boston, Austin, and Durham. But the winners and losers aren`t necessarily the people you`d expect. Moretti`s groundbreaking research shows that you don`t have to be a scientist or an engineer to thrive in one of these high-tech hubs. The main beneficiaries are the workers who support the "idea-creators"?the carpenters, hair stylists, personal trainers, lawyers, doctors, and teachers. In fact, Moretti has shown that for every new innovation job in a city, five additional non-innovation jobs are created, and those workers earn higher salaries than their counterparts in other urban areas. Live in one of these places and you will almost certainly be healthier and wealthier, even if you don`t own a start-up. It wasn`t supposed to be this way. As the global economy shifted from agriculture to manufacturing to innovation, the world was supposed to become more flat. Geography was supposed to matter less. But the pundits were wrong. A new map is being drawn and it`s not about red vs. blue or rich vs. poor. The rise of the hubs is causing huge geographic disparities in education, wealth, life expectancy, and political engagement. Dealing with this split?encouraging growth in the hubs while arresting the decline elsewhere?will be the challenge of the century, and The New Geography of Jobs lights the way. |
