Karen Smith is a buyer for a department store in New York. Department store
buyers purchase the goods that their stores sell. They not only have to know
what is fashionable at the moment, but also have to guess what will become
fashionable next season or next year.
Most buyers work for just one department in a store, but the goods that
Karen finds may be displayed and sold in several different sections of the
store. Her job involves buying handicrafts from all over the world.
Last year, she made a trip to Morocco, and returned with rugs, pots,
dishes, and pans. The year before, she visited Mexico, and brought back
hand-made table cloths, mirrors with frames of tin, and paper flowers. The paper
flowers are bright and colorful, so they were used to decorate the whole store.
This year, Karen is traveling in Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. Many of the
countries that Karen visits have government offices that promote handicrafts.
They officials are glad to cooperate with her, by showing her the products that
are available.
Karen especially likes to visit markets and small towns and villages
whenever she can arrange for it. She’s always looking for interesting and
unusual items. Karen thinks she has the best job she could have found. She loves
all the traveling that she has to do,because she often visits markets and small
out-of-the-way places. She sees much more of the country she visits than an
ordinary tourists would. As soon as she gets back to New York from one trip,
Karen begins to plan another.
