"Working for CK is not only a job, it’s a passion."
Aleksandra
Why did you join Cath Kidston?
I always work for companies that stand for their values and even though, over time they develop, they never lose them on the way. Cath Kidston always seemed to stand out to me because of that and I found that I wasn’t mistaken in my opinion after I joined.
What do you get up to on a typical day?
Every day is about both my team and my customers. I consider it a good day when I manage to meet expectations of both.
What do you love most about working here?
The fact that no day is the same, ever! When you work with people, every day brings on new challenges and gives a sense of achievement in different ways.
What’s been your biggest achievement/proudest moment so far?
Being part of creating history of the brand – opening of our flagship store and being part of it for a couple of years.
What is it really like to work here?
I must be alert at all times, in retail and in a shopping centre things can change within minutes and I always need to react quickly. I love the excitement that comes out of this!
What do you think makes Cath Kidston unique as an employer?
The fact that even though we are an international company, the CEO knows the names of my employees!
What piece of advice would you give to someone who was thinking of applying to work for us?
You must be a person who stands up for our values and our product. It will show in your everyday work if you don’t and it will be very hard for you to give 100%. Working for CK is not only a job, it’s a passion.
