mining industry has been in so much turmoil in recent years which has resulted in job
opportunities having shrunken tremendously. “Freed”
For this reason planning and setting milestones for your desired career path in mining is more
essential & important. In order to progress in your career and achieve the goals that you have
set yourself, you will need to plan forward, and work on developing your skill set.
You will also need to actively pursue employee development opportunities that may arise and to
ensure that you gain the relevant work experience needed badly.

weaknesses and your ability to fulfill your aims.

that all moves and promotions are based on high levels of competencies and job

11. Merchandising:
Garments industries are equipped with lots of departments. The merchandising process with the
correspondence of buyers and merchandiser. In the very fast there is e-mail communication with
the buyer. In the very fast there is e-mail communication with the buyer. The buyers send a mail
with the design specification to the merchandiser to prepare the sample and costing. Then the
prepared sample and costing of the sample is sending to the buyer through mail. If the sample is
approved by the buyer then it is the turn for negotiate the costing. Starting from fabric store to
dispatch center there are at least 12-15 departments that work together to ensure smooth
operation. A co-ordination between these departments hence, is essential. Moreover, most of the
garments industry has to source their raw material from abroad or from some other local
suppliers. So there is a big loop of supply chain involved. Especially, the woven garments mostly
have to source their fabric from China. Merchandisers are responsible to ensure all the
materials are in house in time and all the operations are running in time. In simple words,
merchandisers make co-ordination between all the departments to reach the goal.
Merchandisers are also responsible to communicate with buyers and suppliers and interpret
their requirements in the production line. In many factories merchandisers are also engaged in
commercial tasks like export, import and shipment. So merchandisers are the most important
personnel of a garment industry. Diploma/graduates of Apparel Manufacturing, Apparel
Merchandising and Textile Engineers are mostly suitable for this position.

12. RECOMMENDATON
Every Person has to select the right career in your life. If touches the right place you can
success. Life will become shine. As a Person you have to manage your career in remaining
every matter. Right time right salutation and make you life better. I am not taking about you
to select Garment you only select that thing, if you know that is right or bright for you.
As an employee merchandiser’s job is vital and risky. Because buyers satisfaction depends on
merchandiser’s handling power. If garments deliver the products according to the buyers due
time, responsible price and their demand able style then the buyers will come again, because
they are satisfied. For this satisfaction of buyers, the responsible person is the merchandiser.
I like to play the chilling thing & merchandiser’s is always taking Challenge.
