Heard some guys whispering around campus about Victoria’s Secret jobs. Got curious, then suddenly thought of: why the hell can’t dudes work there part-time? Seriously, what’s stopping us? Felt like trying this out myself, see what’s really up.
Starting Simple: Checking Online
First thing, punched “Victoria’s Secret part time jobs near me” right into my phone. Boom, their official careers page pops up. Scrolled through the listings honestly expecting stuff like “Cashier” or “Sales Associate – Women Only”. Nope. Saw words like “Sales Associate”, “Stock Associate”. Nowhere did it scream “NO MEN ALLOWED”. That kinda surprised me.
Just Applying, See What Happens
Found a local store needing a part-time Sales Associate. Said screw it, filled out the online form. Kept it simple, put down my retail experience from that summer warehouse gig. Hit submit, felt kinda ridiculous but also determined. What’s the worst they could do? Ignore it? Big deal.
The Call Back (No Joke)
Couple days later, phone rings. Didn’t recognize the number. Picked up… turned out to be the freaking store manager! She sounded cool, just asked some basic questions about my availability and why I wanted the job. Told her straight: “Honestly? Need a flexible part-time gig, and I figured I could sell bras and perfume just fine.” She actually laughed. Booked me an in-person interview for the next Tuesday. Was legit shocked.
Walking into the Interview
Walked into that store Tuesday afternoon. Yeah, got a few awkward stares from customers. Whatever. Manager greeted me, led me to the back. Talk was pretty standard retail stuff:
- Asked about handling busy times
- Talked about customer service approach
- Emphasized needing to be comfortable fitting people
She basically said: “Look, it’s intimate apparel. You gotta be professional, respectful, and know your stuff to help customers find what they need. Gender doesn’t matter if you can do the job well.” Made total sense.
Orientation Day – Deep End Dive
Got hired! Hell yeah. First training shift? Was a whirlwind:
- Learning the million styles of bras (who knew?!).
- Memorizing scent notes for perfumes (vanilla musk what now?).
- Practicing measuring techniques (mannequins are weird).
- Store layout tour felt like navigating a pink and lace labyrinth.
Fumbled a bit measuring the trainer, my damn fingers felt too big and clumsy. But everyone was surprisingly helpful, no weird vibes from the team. Mostly just focused on teaching me the ropes.
Few Weeks In – The Real Deal
On the floor now. Honestly? Customers mostly don’t care. Some older ladies raised an eyebrow at first, but once I showed I knew the difference between a push-up and a t-shirt bra, or recommended a scent they liked? They got over it fast. Biggest challenge is remembering all the dang product codes! Stock room duty? Lifting boxes is lifting boxes, doesn’t matter if it’s lace panties or car parts. Folding is therapeutic too, weirdly.
So, The Big Answer
Turns out, yes, guys can totally work part-time at Victoria’s Secret. It’s retail, plain and simple. They need bodies who can sell, fold, stock, and treat customers right. The job listings don’t exclude men, the managers seem open if you’re professional, and the actual work isn’t about gender – it’s about knowing the products and being helpful. Forget the whispering on campus. Just check the official site, apply, and see what happens. Could land yourself a pretty decent gig folding lace.
