In this episode we talk to Jo, an Assistant Buyer at ASOS.
Things covered:
Have you ever thought “who buys the materials for this brand?” Well, that person, believe it or not, is called a Buyer, and they’re in pretty much all fashion brands.
We talk about what it takes to become a Buyer and what to expect, but also the other roles and positions you can find in ASOS. *Hint – they have over 4000 employees, a buyer is definitely not the only position.
If you like fashion but aren’t too sure what to do in it, give this a listen.
