Summary

Hello my name is Safaa . I adore Victoria's Secret as a brand and the uniqueness of the store layout, colour scheme and the visual merchandising is unmatched compared to any other shopping experience for girls of my age. I love your brand so much that the theme of my 16th birthday party was Victoria's Secret as you can see from my pic!

As a student of Business and Marketing i find the VS brand inspiring and fascinating from the advertising on Social Media to the Fashion Shows and the amazing products - my personal favourites are the Pure Seduction range and the VS lip-glosses especially Electric Punch and of course the cosy pyjamas.

I am in my final year of School and I will be submitting my UCAS to Study Business Management at Strathclyde Uni. I recently did five Highers and in sixth year plan to do Advanced Highers. In June 2025 I was picked to represent my High School for the Young Strathclyder: Accelerate Business Challenge - sponsored by AG Barr and gained a certificate of achievement.

I would love to work for VS on a part time basis or in a seasonal role if that is available, I believe that I can be a phenomenal asset to your team and store. I am so passionate about VS that I know it will show in my work ethic and rapport with customers - leaving them feeling excited with their purchases in the same way I am when buying VS.
