So recently I have had a bit of luck come my way, which doesn't happen to me often. While at uni working on my project, I got a pop up email about a job at Boden, but I was an unsuccessful candidate. So I just thought I'm going to apply for the best job I could think of - of course Burberry.
Scrolling through their vacancies I applied for a Head Office position in the HR department, as you can image I received an email the next day, again unsuccessful. Then, something crazy happened, I received a call from a burberry HR member, she said although I was unsuitable for the role I applied for, she would like me to come in for an interview as she thinks they have something they can offer me.
Scared and nervous I got a dress from Zara and went to my interview the next day. It was a very long process with very strong candidates, that were older than me and all spoke a second language.
I got sent home earlier than I planned; just as I was telling my sister how it went and why I didn't get the job, I got a call from the store manager offering me a part-time sales associate position at Regent Street.
Extremely happy, I worked through Christmas and loved it, three months later and still going strong. so now in my spare time, thats where I am. It can be so tiring sometimes, but the clients you deal with are so interesting, they come from all over the world and have so many stories to tell, its great inspiration and I enjoy assisting them.
Working at Burberry has many great perks, they have a lot of in store events for private clients and VIPs. Every season for fashion week they have a live screening in store, for press and private clients. Plus, there are always activities or social events for stuff, so its great having fun with the team. So not only is it a great part-time job for me as a fashion student, it could be a great path for me when I graduate, so thats my plan.
