So I've requested a letter from my previous employer and I asked to include my duties as per CIC guidelines; I also told them mot to copy-paste and try and shift some words/sentences.

The position is 6222 Wholesale buyer

The duties are (in my letter):

- prepare and administer buying contracts;
- attend relevant trade shows & showrooms;
- establish and maintain contact with suppliers;
- estimate costs of importing equipment;
- market research to identify potential suppliers;
- oversee distribution of merchandise to outlets and maintain adequate stock levels.

and thats what they have on the NOC website:

- Purchase merchandise for resale by retail or wholesale establishments
- Review requirements of establishment and determine quantity and type of merchandise to purchase
- Study market reports, trade periodicals and sales promotion materials and visit trade shows, showrooms, factories and product design events
- Select the merchandise which best fits the establishment's requirements
- Interview suppliers and negotiate prices, discounts, credit terms and transportation arrangements
- Oversee distribution of merchandise to outlets and maintain adequate stock levels
- Establish and maintain contact with suppliers
- May supervise the work of other retail buyers.

I am worried that the officer may not like it because my list of duties doesnt really match the list given on the NOC website. Or am I overthinking?
