This week we saw a presentation from TJX, the company behind brands like TJ Maxx,
Marshall’s, and HomeGoods. In addition to hearing from UMass alumni who now work there
full-time, we heard from campus recruiter Laurie Lynch. We learned a little about how the company operates, as well as the type of opportunities they have for OIM majors. It was incredibly interesting to learn how TJX purchases products directly from manufacturers and how their purchasing decisions are made regionally, rather than nationally. A great info session for anyone interested in retail operations! If TJX seems like a company you see yourself with, do not hesitate to reach out! Any E-Board member can provide contact information and point you in the right direction.
