Minah Lee/Classification Essay/Tue9A.M.

             For my personal thoughts on choosing a future career, I put interests on a certain field on my priority list. So I decided to pursue a career as a fashion merchandiser dealing with new items in the market. I'd love to introduce fancy items to customers and meet their tastes, giving them full satisfaction. To be a merchandiser, one should be good at setting the trends, maintain an active attitude and open to customers' needs.

             A merchandiser should be good at reading social atmosphere to be a trend setter. Rather than to follow the trend and bring similar items to the market which don't have any distinct characteristics, there would be little possibility to be sold out. To set the trend, a merchandiser should be interested in various aspects of life; especially they should be well-acquainted with current issues, economic and social condition.

             To maintain an active attitude is also important to a merchandiser. A merchandiser should be eager to find new items which are hard to find in the existing market. People tend to be more satisfied with having uncommon items so called limited edition. To be a best-selling merchandiser, she has to be energetic and passionate to move around to find items and faster than other merchandisers to dominate the market in advance.

             Last but not least, a customer should be open to customers to know their wants and needs. To know customers' tastes better, a merchandiser should be keen to read customers' purchasing patterns and attentive to customers' feedbacks. Nowadays, it became easier to listen to those who buy items thanks to online communities.

             Finding and planning to make products which have unique brand identity are highly up to a merchandiser's capability. To be a competent merchandiser, one should be good at reading social atmosphere, have an active attitude and open to customers. Since those capabilities could be learned and trained, a merchandiser should put much efforts on strengthen these skills.

  1. 1. Yes, it includes background information about the topic: " So I decided to pursue a career as a fashion merchandiser dealing with new items in the market. I'd love to introduce fancy items to customers and meet their tastes, giving them full satisfaction."
    2. In the thesis statement, it states three categories as summary, but it doesn't have a clear unifying principle. Maybe you can add "There are three important skills for fashion merchandiser, ~~~"
    3. Yes, each body paragraph has its category.
    4. Yes, but i think it would be much better if you add some more examples.
    5. Yes
    6. As I didn't know much about fashion merchandiser, it was very interesting to read your essay.

  2. To Minah Lee from Jong Beom Cho

    1. Does the introduction include backgrund information about the topic?
    -> It briefly mentions what the job does. But I don't really get what fashion merchandiser is. Is it a job making new clothes and selling? Or is it simply a distributor?

    2. Does the thesis statement have a unifying principle?
    -> I believe that there should be more details and main sentence clarifying the point.

    3. Does each body paragraph include a distinct category?
    -> First and second are categorized distinctively. But I don't really understand what you mean by 'a customer should be open to customers to know their wants and needs' I understood it after reading the whole paragraph.


    4. Are the supporting details for each paragraph sufficient?
    -> Yes I think they are sufficient.

    5. Does the conclusion restate the three categories?
    -> Yes it effectively paraphrases the three categories.

    6. Is there advice, a prediction, or a general statement in the conclusion?
    -> She ends with advice but it can also be her opinion as the same time.
