Internest Sources - Part 1




Record Your Impressions: My impressions of this website was that it is credible and provides helpful information on starting a career in fashion merchandise. The information is presented in an easy way to read and navigate as well as provides related articles that could also be useful for writing an essay on fashion merchandise. The URL appears to be credible because it is a global post. There are advertisement on this article which makes me believe that they are connected with other credible sources, making them credible as well.

Gather Information:  Although there are many opinion based arguments in this article, they use facts to back their opinion up which makes the information legitimate. The article also has references to bring the reader to the site that they got their information from, as well as give some information about the author, and why the author is credible.

Select: “Fashion merchandisers are responsible for creating store displays, fashion buying, attending fashion shows and expos, marketing, and even forecasting upcoming trends. The field may sound glamorous to fashion industry hopefuls, but fashion merchandisers put in a lot of hours and the work can be extremely demanding. Having a true passion for the field is only the beginning of having what it takes to become a fashion merchandiser.” (Everyday Life)

Embed: Many individuals believe that fashion merchandise would be an easy and fun career to have. What they don’t realize is how much work really goes in to this job, and how many hours it will take in order to be successful. As Everyday Life presents, “Fashion merchandisers are responsible for creating store displays, fashion buying, attending fashion shows and expos, marketing, and even forecasting upcoming trends. The field may sound glamorous to fashion industry hopefuls, but fashion merchandisers put in a lot of hours and the work can be extremely demanding. Having a true passion for the field is only the beginning of having what it takes to become a fashion merchandiser” (Caldwell).
