WRITE A SELF - INTRODUCTION RELATED TO YOUR QUALIFICATIONS, CHARACTERISTICS AND SKILLS, EXPERIENCE.

I studied and graduated in Hanoi University of Industry with a bachelor’s degree in my major - Garment Technology and Fashion Design. To prepare for my future job, I will take a course to improve my English, participate in internship at Maxport during my study time to gain more work experiences as well as understand the fashion industry. Beside my internship experience, I also learned about Understanding fit, fabric, trim, print placement and layout; knowledge of construction methods /ˈmeθ.əd/ and standards /ˈstæn.dəd/; Proficient /prəˈfɪʃ.ənt/ in garment grading, computer skill

I would say, my greatest strength is using the design software on computer and having knowledge of textiles, materials and color. Taking about weakness, my language skill need to be improved and I don’t have many working experiences in factory floor. In the next 5 years, I want to see myself as a merchandiser. I want to work for maxport since they have a good working condition and that’s would be my opportunities for my career.

Look at the incident report, fill in the form and write a paragrap to instruct how to use the report.

An incident report - used to follow and update the number of accidents and injuries which happen on the factory floor. Date report: 3rd March, reported by NA - line supervisor and incident no 01. On 2nd March, the factory floor had one accident. The worker named A in sewing line no.1 got stabbed by a machine needle. While inserting the thread, he forgot to turn off the power so the machine was still working. I think all workers should pay attention to turning off all equipment when not working to ensure safety. I suggest that all workers should focus on and comply with safety rules while working. Last, we need to get signatures from employee, reporting staff and hr to confirm the accident happened.

Compare the instruction to the sample (size XXS) and give some comments basing on the suggestions. Students are expected to use reduced form to give comments on the garment.

Firstly,the actual sample does not have the white letters on black label attached 1” below collar stand.

Secondly, the spec sheet requires that the neck width from highest point of the shoulder (HPS) to another HPS is 5 5/8” but in actual sample it is 8”. You need to take it in 2 2/3’’.  In the spec sheet, the pocket is on the left of garment with 6’’depth and 4’’width instead of on the right.

Thirdly, the armhole-straight as required in the spec sheet is 8 3/8’’ long but in the actual sample, the length is 8’’. You need let it out 3/8''. In the spec sheet, the cuff opening is 4’’ instead of 6’’, so you need to let the cuff opening of the sample in 2’’

Next, the waist in the spec sheet is 15 1/2'' but it's actually 24’’ as I have measured on the sample, you need to take it in 8 1/2''.

Finally, the bottom opening in the spec sheet is 17'' but it's actually measured 25”, you need to take it in 8''.

I have given some comments on the prototype of the shirt and also some suggestions to revise it. I hope that you will soonly revise the sample and give us back on next day.

Subject: Price negotiation

Dear Mr. Smith,

We would like to thank you for delivering the goods to us promptly. However, it is to inform you that the price that you are charging for per shipment is not according to the market rate of the concerned packages.

We have some other suppliers too who are willing to provide us the same articles on $4,5 for each. As we are purchasing the articles on $7 for each by you, so we are continuously in a loss of $2,5.

Therefore, we would like to propose that please have a short meeting so that we could discuss the terms and conditions regarding the prices.

Thank you for your concern. Please write us back for the meeting timetable as soon as possible before the further delivery of goods.

Best regards,

Write a report about some particular problems related to working condition and proposed solutions.
Nowaday, the textile industry is very developed, many sewing companies have opened and the working conditions in each company are different. I have just had 5 months of internship in Tinh Loi garment factory and I realize that there are many particular problems related to the working conditions in that factory.

Firstly, it is backache. This problem has 2 reasons: the worker sit in wrong posture. And the workers have to work too long and sit in oneplace. This can lead to health and productivity problems. I suggest that the company should provide fully chair large enough for worker and the chairs should have the backrest and footrest. Beside, the company should have short breaks so the worker can relax and do their exercise.

Secondly, workers spend a lot of time looking for trash bins because the trash bin is located too far from the place of production and there are no trash bin under the working table. So, I suggest that they should provide trash bins under the table of each worker. Therefore , it is possible to save time and the worker’s place is always clean and tiny. .

Thirdly, workers have to make this work repeated so many times that feel depressed and sleepy. I think they should provide music to help workers feel relaxed and keep them stay alert in order to improve the productivity.

Fourth, sewing table is too small, there are no spce to put boxes. They should provide for us the small boxes to contain the needles, small tools, supplies and accessories, … provide labeled boxed for needle, button, thread, …. and other small tool.

I hope these problems will be resolved as quick as possible to give workers the best working conditions which can improve the working efficiency and products' quality of the factory

Fashion designer often work in teams throughout the design process and therefore must be able to communicate with their team members.
