Day in the Life of an ASSISTANT BUYER: What a Typical Day Looks Like & Answering Your Questions

Hi Passion! New subscriber here 👋🏾. Where did you get your red crew neck from?! Also love your videos!!

Hey Passion, new subbie here. I've just binged watch majority of your uploads and so happy to be apart of your growing fam. Just wanted you to know you're doing a great job! Because of you I got a new Daisy Rose bag, Clever Fox Planners, and new nightstands from overstock that were 100s of dollars cheaper than what I was planning on purchasing. Hope God continues to bless you and your channel ❤

Thanks forrr this video, have a nice day! 💘

hey love, Im a new AB starting work soon and was hoping for some tips or a breakdown on how you manage your buyer checkbook.

Hi Passion! I found your page while searching assistant buyer 😁

So recently I applied for an assistant buyer position at Aldi in the Chicagoland area. I’m pretty new to this line of work and don’t have any previous experience. I currently manage accounts/projects at a marketing technology/printing company.

The first interview went really well and they just told me I have the next interview via Microsoft teams! Can you think of any tips that would help me during this? Thank you in advance! ❤️

Hey there! This brings so many memories back of when i worked in fashion as an assistant buyer. It was awful on my mental and physical health - not everywhere is like where i worked im sure. But it was really high strung and stressful environment. I have a new job now too! So glad to see others like me leaving jobs that just dont help fill their glass. 💕

What qualifications at college should I do to be an assistant buyer in the UK?

Do you mind sharing the company now that you no longer work there?

Can you please take sometime to answer our questions

How would you describe the math skills necessary? Due to moving a lot as a kid I never learned my multiplication tables and as a result always struggled with math after 4th grade. I never learned because I didn’t have a supportive home environment but I’ve made due so far in life…. Now I have a job offer to be a buyer. Would love insights to the math aspect. Thank you!

What's a good rule for how much quantity to buy for a PN#

I can rely cause I got into the supply chain for 3 months and as you describe here, I was given the exactly same tasks. It ended quick cause I was lacking of Excel skills. I may enter an assistant buyer course soon, waiting for acceptation. Regarding Excel do you think that pivot tables and v/xlookup are the most important then?

Hi! I appreciate you for making this helpful content!! Would you say this role could be synonymous to “procurement coordinator”? If not, would you have any insight on how those 2 roles differ?

Thanks for giving us an inside scoop on your day and job b! Really appreciated the insight. I also have a degree in comms so it's good to know that'd be helpful. ps. your hair is so thick! such a perf density, drop the dets love <3

non-related to the video but where is your wig from?

I just started this new position as an assistant buyer and it's pretty challenging even coming from a logistics background.

I started as QMS Auditor at fashion industry my first job, then was an assistant merchandiser & Merchandiser for KFL Group (Apparel Manufacturer) & Richtex sourcing(Sourcing Agent). So, I really grew into the job with my previous employer.
Would you pls help me
How can I became a Fashion buyer Assistant

What is your dream job? where do you see yourself going in the future?

Does your job require you to read contracts and/or terms and conditions all the time?

Do you talk on the phone a lot? Just asking cause I have an interview for this position but talking on the phones gives me a lot of anxiety 🥲

I have an interview for this position on Monday and I'm nervous as hell! I have no previous experience

I have a similar story in my career. No degree though. I was a CS rep, then i did Order processing and now I’m the assistant merch mgr, in the pet industry. It’s definitely doable without a degree and without crazy experience. You just have to be willing to start small and grow with the company. And i agree definitely need to know excel. I thought myself but i wish i took a course.

Hey!
Actually I have an interview for buyer position, can you help me with that?

How would a new fashion brand approach a buyer?

Who do you work for????

Thanks for the video. I have been in logistics, but I feel that I need to understand buying to get a better understanding of the supply chain industry.

You live a really chill life. Happy for you dude :)

In all honesty what is the workload in a job like this? I have home responsibilities, school etc. is there any amount of downtime to this job? And how much??

I'm a buyer too and I feel exhausted. It's good to hear other people's perspective and story.

The sweetest voice! Thank you!

I fuck with that crew neck 😍

I work as a buyer assitant for 12 years in my country Brasil, now I'm doing carrer orientation, I don't feel good anymore with so many pressure.

Did the company send equipment or are you using your personal computer?
