5. FUTURE CAREER
OBJECTIVE
I’ve always known that a career in the creative
industry was the path I wanted to embark on. I
feel that a visual merchandising position would
suit me well because I have a strong interest in
fashion, I have a knack for putting things
together in a cohesive manner and I have a
creative eye. More specifically, working in
visual merchandising management would allow
me to create and design visual programs for a
spectrum of stores rather than just one
individual shop. I like hands-on work and I
would really enjoy the challenge of relying on
my creative judgment to plan and accomplish
6. WHAT I LEARNED
I have learned so much in the short six months
that I have been working at Friar Tux Shop. I
gained product knowledge on men’s suits,
tuxedos and accessories, I learned how to
accurately fit customers with the use of
measuring tape and try-on garments, as well
as how to register wedding parties and other
formal events, how to effectively
communicate with brides & grooms, and the
importance of teamwork to better service our
customers and provide a welcoming, laid-
back environment for everyone.
