Q: What are the career developments of merchandising industry?

A: If you find that you have the qualities that I have mentioned in the other question, and prepare to take more business trips when moving up to a more senior position, then the career development in the field is promising. It will take around 3 to 5 years to promote from an Assistant Merchandiser to a Merchandiser and another 3 years to become a Senior Merchandiser. Those who have technical qualifications can also think of moving from a Merchandiser to a Quality Controller or Sales staff when walking along the career path.
