When Preparation Meets Opportunity: My Hermès Story

For a long time, I had admired the elegance of the Birkin bag… Not just as an accessory, but as a symbol of aspiration, craftsmanship, and timeless style. The thought of Hermès lingered in my mind as a benchmark of excellence.

After returning from a long holiday visiting my family — a beautiful but significant financial commitment — I knew it was time to find a new role. But I was clear about one thing: I wasn’t going to settle. I knew my expertise, I knew my worth, and I wasn’t willing to take an easy job with a minimal salary. I wanted to align myself with a brand that represented aspiration, refinement, and luxury. A place where my skills and presence could truly shine.

I prepared my résumé, applied to several opportunities, and soon received a call for my very first interview. The company’s name wasn’t revealed at first, but after passing the initial online stage, the second interview invitation arrived and there it was. Hermès.

From that moment, I knew I had to step up. For the second interview, though online, I treated every detail as if I were already in the store: flawless hair, precise makeup, and a carefully chosen outfit. Beyond appearance, I prepared my answers thoughtfully, making sure I could speak not only about myself, but about my achievements, my experiences, and the value I could bring.

Then came the third stage: stepping into the emblematic Hermès boutique on Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona, an iconic building that radiates history and prestige. I still remember the weight of that moment. I wore a tailored navy suit, a satin black blouse, and statement heels that added a touch of personality. My look was polished, but what truly carried me was my confidence. The way I walked, spoke, and connected with the director of the store.

There was already another candidate for the role. Yet, in that interview, I shone by being fully myself… Poised, prepared, and aligned with the brand’s essence. The very next day, the call came: Hermès had chosen me.

Working there became a defining experience. It wasn’t only about luxury retail; it was about creating moments, building relationships, and understanding how a prestigious house like Hermès connects with its clients. Those lessons shaped me deeply. Today, I bring that same philosophy into every consultation I give: no matter where we are, my goal is to make each person I assist feel as valued and special as if they had just stepped into the Hermès boutique on Passeig de Gràcia.
