Question: Could I still become a visual merchandiser? I have ZERO work experience, but Im about to go to college to be a visual merchandiser... is this going to be possible for me!?!??! Just curious XD

Answer: Yes. My sister works in the fashion industry, and was a Visual Merchandiser before owning her own shop.\n\nI'd advise you to approach companies and offer to do merchandising for them for free or ask if you can shadow a merchandiser to start with, to build up your experience. Carity shops would be a good place to build up experience.\n\nAlso, don't be frightened or think its beneath you to get a Saturday job in a clothes shop as a sales assitant, and ask if you can work with the merchandiser when they come round. All experince will be useful ultimately.
