The team is growing! Meanwhile Boutique welcomes Lucile, an international business student, for two months. It goes without saying that product pages are no secret to her...
To learn a little more about Lucile, we asked her a few questions
Can you introduce yourself in a few lines…
My name is Lucile Varet, I am 18 years old and I live in the countryside in the 78. I am a pretty simple person: I like fashion, seeing friends and I have been dancing for 15 years now. I am quite shy but very determined! I always follow through with what I undertake.
Tell me a little about your background and your studies.
I got my general baccalaureate in 2022 with SES and HLP (philosophy) as specialties. In September, I started a degree in economics and management at the CY Cergy faculty, which I finally quit after 3 months, because I didn't like it at all. I therefore started working as a cashier for a large international retail chain where I was able to develop a certain ease in dealing with customers. Alongside my job, in February 2023, I started studying international business at ESCE in La Défense, Paris.
How did you know you wanted to work in international business?
I have wanted to work in the sales and marketing sector for a few years, more specifically in fashion, because it is a sector that inspires me enormously. It was by talking with close friends and career counselors that I knew I wanted to work in marketing. Watching movies and series like "Emily in Paris" for example, also helped me a lot in choosing my path.
I like showcasing products and trying to find out what appeals to prospects. In the future, I would also like to move into events.
Why did you choose to work at Meanwhile Boutique?
When I saw the Meanwhile Boutique job posting sent by my school, I went to the boutique's Instagram account and immediately appreciated the products and the company's ecological aspect. I also really liked the "aesthetic" side of the website and the different social networks.
What is your role at Meanwhile Boutique?
My role at Meanwhile Boutique is to put the products of the brands in the collective online. I therefore write descriptions, choose SEO titles and select the most beautiful photos so that the product pages are as attractive and pleasant to read as possible.
What is your favorite subject?
I don't really have a favorite subject... I am interested in absolutely all fields. I am quite curious.
What is your favorite social network?
I would say Instagram. It is a very varied network with several features and quite entertaining. I find that its content is more polished than other social networks in general.
Which values from the Meanwhile Boutique charter are you most sensitive to?
Recycling. I am not the most ecological person, but I try to be responsible on my own scale. For example, I try not to buy too much fast fashion, to sort my waste and to avoid overconsumption.
I find that waste recycling is very interesting. That is also what I appreciate about Meanwhile Boutique. We offer high-quality and aesthetic clothing while being eco-friendly.
What is your favorite brand / product at Meanwhile Boutique?
I would say the brand Kaly Ora. It is the one I saw the most during my first week of internship.
If you had a wish to make for the planet, what would it be?
That people no longer overconsume, no longer throw their waste in nature... I would like, although it is complicated, that we no longer have to worry about the future, pollution and its damage to the planet.
