Job description of Retail buyers

Here are a few jobs I found on some of the websites I look on for jobs. I am mainly into retail buying and merchandising. I aspire to begin my own clothing line one day so it is essential that I have work experience in all the sectors in the fashion industry if I want to prevail.
What I like about this site is that it lists the jobs after it explains what the job entails. That way it is easier for one to find his field of expertise or the field they are most interested in and gain experience from it.
