Get Hired as a Fashion Buyer, Even With Zero Buying Experience

This is for you if...

You sit down to work on your application and end up scrolling buying jobs for 45 minutes… then close the tab without sending a single resume.

You promise yourself you’ll “fix your resume this weekend” and Sunday night hits with the file still untouched.

You’ve got years in retail or styling, but every time you open a buying job posting, you freeze at the “requirements” section.

You’ve rewritten your resume so many times you’re not even sure what’s true anymore… and you still don’t feel like a “real” buying candidate.

You drag yourself into another shift, wondering how people actually make the jump from the sales floor into the buying office.

Dear aspiring fashion buyer,

I’m Christie, founder of Style Nine to Five and a fashion recruiter who hires for buying roles.

Every week I’m talking with brands about new buying positions and reading through applications. I see people with experience get passed over simply because their resume and applications don’t clearly show how they’d think like a buyer.

That’s why I built this course as a short, concrete version of what I wish candidates had before they applied:

• An entire recruiter‑written fashion buyer application (resume, cover letter) you can copy and use for your own applications
• A simple portfolio you use as is, so you look like a buyer, not “someone who loves fashion”
• Understanding on which paths actually lead into buying (Fashion Management, retail, VM, wholesale, etc.)
• The real difference between buying roles and what each one looks for
• Insider insight on the types of companies that actually hire grads and early‑career candidates into buying roles

So instead of sending out applications and hoping, you’ll know what buying teams are looking for, you’ll have the resume and portfolio ready, and you’ll know exactly where to focus your efforts first.

Why Listen to Me About Buying Roles

I’ve spent years recruiting for fashion buying roles at top brands. I talk to hiring managers every week, review buying applications daily, and interview candidates for assistant buyer, buyer, and related roles.

This course comes directly from what I see on the buying side of hiring and what actually makes the difference between getting passed over and getting an interview.

By The End, You’ll… 

• Know which buying path (corporate or resale) fits you best right now
• Understand how your current experience can be shaped into a buying story
• See how a recruiter would read and respond to real buying job posts
• Have templates and a checklist to structure your resume, cover letter, and mini project
• Feel confident sending targeted applications instead of guessing
