Since December 2024, a new recruit has joined the Meanwhile Boutique team for a full year, as a Community Manager and you will find Méryam in store in Marseille as a sales assistant.
Welcome, Méryam.
To learn a little more about Méryam, we asked her a few questions.
Where are you from? Where did you grow up?
I am originally from Tunisia, but I grew up in France, more specifically in Marseille.
Could you introduce yourself in a few lines…
My name is Méryam, I am 20 years old, and I am passionate about cooking. I love traveling, exploring the world, and learning new things. My passions include discovering new cultures and reading, because I like to let my imagination run wild.
Tell me a little about your background, your studies?
I hold a general baccalaureate, specializing in History, Geography, Geopolitics and Political Science, and Economic and Social Sciences at Lycée Saint Charles in Marseille. After that, I did a BTS in Communication at Lycée St Exupéry in Marseille as well. And I am currently doing a Bachelor's in Digital Marketing at Lycée Charles Péguy in Marseille.
Do you like what you do?
Yes, I really like what I do, because it allows me to express my creativity while taking on various challenges. Working in communication and being in contact with customers allows me to develop my skills and thrive. Each project offers me the opportunity to constantly learn.
Why did you choose to work at Meanwhile Boutique?
Choosing to work at Meanwhile Boutique because the boutique's universe matches my values through its eco-responsible products, transparency and ethics in the production and composition of the products, which is essential. We don't always know where and under what conditions the clothes we wear every day are made.
What is your role at Meanwhile Boutique?
As an apprentice as a Community Manager and sales assistant. I am in charge of the creation of the different content for social media, particularly Instagram and Facebook, and I also take care of the boutique as a sales assistant, assisting customers with their purchases.
What is your favorite social network?
Instagram, for all the inspiration and the different types of formats and content, and also because this network allows you to maintain a connection with your community.
Which values from the Meanwhile Boutique charter are you most drawn to?
I am particularly drawn to the value of “Human and social impact”. Unlike fast fashion, where workers' working conditions are often deplorable, at Meanwhile Boutique, we ensure that the clothes are made in good conditions, with respect and dignity.
What is your favorite brand at Meanwhile Boutique?
My favorite brand at Meanwhile Boutique is the Wouf brand, which offers bags and travel accessories made from recycled or organic materials.
If you had one wish for the planet, what would it be?
If I had one wish for the planet, it would be to see a real collective awakening where every person, every company, and every government does its best to protect and preserve the environment.
