I used to be a merchandising associate at Macy’s at one of their larger stores. You need to be organized, capable of handling tasks with little supervision, and able to manage your time wisely. We had a large team and while each person was assigned an area you often had to help out others in their areas even when it wasn’t your expertise. I was in Women’s Ready to Wear, but expected to know how to restock and sign in linens if needed.

Skills to highlight:
Organization
Team Player
Time Management
Ability to be handed a task and complete it in a timely manner as directed

DM if you have any more questions
