    Tips for successfully work in luxury

    Companies in the sector favor candidates who demonstrate in-depth knowledge of their industry codes, a genuine passion for excellence, and strong technical skills. The average selection rate reaches 95% for permanent positions, requiring an impeccable application and strong differentiation.

    Develop or acquire specific know-how

    70% of recruiters favor candidates who can demonstrate concrete expertise in their field. Short specialized training courses allow candidates to quickly acquire valuable skills.

    Certificates in gemology (6 months), introductory watchmaking internships (3 months), or personal shopping training (2 weeks) open specific doors to work in luxury.

    Companies often finance these training courses for their employees, representing an average investment of €8,000 per employee.

    Be passionate about a brand and master its codes

    Recruiters assess knowledge of the brand’s history, its iconic designers, and its signature pieces.

    Mastering a brand’s specific codes requires several months of immersion. Visiting boutiques, studying catalogs, following fashion shows, and understanding its creative DNA are essential steps.

    This exclusive initiation approach isn’t unique to luxury: in other areas, such as online casino bonuses, only seasoned professionals know how to take full advantage of the best offers and navigate the hidden intricacies.

    Activate and cultivate your professional network

    Professional networks generate 60% of recruitment in the luxury sector. LinkedIn has more than 150,000 French professionals in the sector, creating an ecosystem of exchanges and opportunities.

    Participating in industry events, trade shows, and brand events also allows you to meet decision-makers directly.
