Visual Merchandising Assistant
-
Sep 2015 - Dec 2015
I have worked as a Sales Advisor at Debenhams for the past 5 years. As a result of completing my degree I was promoted to the Visual Merchandising Department to assist in their Christmas displays and promotions. Christmas being one of the key periods for Debenhams to reinforce its core brand message, I was actively involved in consultations and meetings which focussed on the company’s predicted top sellers and how to best showcase these in store. Working in the Visual Merchandising Department I gained a great deal of creative experience and an understanding of how the interiors of stores can influence customer sales.

Head Rep

Sep 2014 - Sep 2014
Assigned to a specific University Halls, my job was heading up a team of reps who spent the week helping the freshers find their feet and other new freshers in their halls. Daily visits to the halls were undertaken in the day to provide freshers with information on events and activities being held, as well as dealing with any problems freshers were personally facing. Every evening we would escort freshers to the different clubs across Nottingham, encouraging them to meet new people as well as be on hand to take them home if needed. The role included creating rotas for the reps, and being there to deal with more problematic situations when needed.I received First Aid, Mental Health & Guide Dog Training for this role.

Visual Merchandising Intern MEA+
-
Jun 2014 - Sep 2014
Out of 30 students I was selected for a 4 month placement at Tommy Hilfiger Head Office in Amsterdam as a Visual Merchandising Intern, specifically for the emerging Middle East market. This was to be a challenging development for Tommy Hilfiger Visual Merchandising bearing in mind the cultural restrictions regarding what is permissible in terms of fashion imagery and promotion. I was heavily involved in the introduction of Tommy Hilfiger’s first Ramadan themed window display, in an attempt to align itself sympathetically with the region’s cultures. As a result I was responsible for producing Visual Merchandising Guidelines to which the region’s Visual Merchandisers would follow on how to construct their next window displays. I gained invaluable experience during my 4 months and increased my knowledge in all aspects of visual merchandising and the role it plays in the luxury retail market. My graphic design skills were also put to good use through the introduction of a department Newsletter which was sent out to the region on a monthly basis.
