Have you ever wanted to work at Victoria’s Secret? Well, I have worked there for over a year and a half now and I have had both amazing and just plain weird experiences.
The best thing about working at Victoria’s Secret is having the ability to make women feel beautiful, comfortable, and sexy. From getting them the perfect fit bra, to helping them pick out lingerie that makes them feel sexy in their own skin, it is truly rewarding to see how you can change someone’s confidence with your expertise. Another amazing aspect about working here is being able to give a young women her first bra fitting and then helping her find her first real bra. This is a big moment in most girls lives, and being able to be apart of it is truly special.
Working at Victoria’s Secret has also included some weird experiences. A few times I have had women ask me (right on the sales floor) if I could check what underwear size they are so they could shop for the same size. In my head I am thinking that this is crazy to ask someone to do for you, especially in the middle of the store, but my job is to help the customer so I have to attempt to do so. Another weird experience is when a guy came into the store asking if we had see-through underwear. I showed him some sheer and lace panties but that was not see through enough for his liking. This man then goes on to talk about aspects of his sex life, like using edible underwear and such. I just stood there awkwardly nodding, praying he would stop talking and leave. I soon told him I had to go get a fitting room for someone, when in reality I was using that as an excuse to get away from him.
All in all, there are many rewarding aspects about working at Victoria’s Secret. You definitely have to have the ability to bite your tongue at times when you get rude customers, and be able to keep a straight face when put in awkward situations. Lastly, if you are someone who is more of an introvert like me, this job will definitely help you to become more outgoing, and have the ability to easily talk to new people.
