Meet Jo

“I love how every day is different, the great opportunities and the amount of motivational and exciting people I work with.”

• Why did you apply to work for us?

  I applied for an internship at the boohoo group after really researching the job role and the brands. I decided to apply because it came across as a very exciting place to work with a lot of driven people. I also knew that I would learn a large amount of knowledge and skills from this internship.

• What do you get up to in your role?

  I carry out lots of research with my team to create packs for upcoming trends and I am constantly thinking of new and exciting ideas for designs. I then make specs of the designs consisting of measurements, cad drawings, instructions for the suppliers and fabric references. These are sent to suppliers who I liaise with to ensure our samples are as I envisioned and are made to a high standard. I also plan for prints, artwork and patterns.

• What’s the best thing about working for us?

  I love how every day is different, the great opportunities and the amount of motivational and exciting people I work with.

• How would you describe the culture?

  In my department we really work as a team and bring all of our ideas together whilst helping one another at busy/ stressful times.  It is a very inclusive and kind place to work.

• How did you find the application and interview process?

  I found the application and interview process very professional, informative and I felt like HR were very helpful with any questions I had.

• What advice would you give to applicants looking to apply?

  Really know your work if you have to present. Practise interview style questions and know the brand inside out- ensure you relate all your skills and experience back to the specific role at boohoo. I think the main advice I would give is to be approachable, friendly and relaxed whilst keeping professional.

• Have you been offered any training, networking, workshops etc?

  I have met loads of amazing people across all the different boohoo brands as it is a very sociable and approachable environment to work in. As an intern I have had multiple intern trainings and workshops.

• What’s been your biggest achievement/proudest moment so far?

  My proudest moment so far as an intern was seeing my first designs come into the office.

• What makes someone successful here?

  Someone is successful in the boohoo group if they have been open-minded and able to learn new skills in their role. I think you are successful if you make an impactful and strong impression on other staff members across departments and the different brands.

• I think boohoo is much more sociable and encourages networking more than other employers- we have social events fairly often and everyone is very friendly and approachable regardless of their job role/ level in work.

• Why should top talent join us instead of a competitor?

  There is lots of opportunity for growth and progression in the boohoo group and talent is really noticed and praised.
