I think what she meant by you being a guy is you're not the traditional female who comes in looking for the job. you're held at higher standards so as a man they expect you to bring it, and you'll obviously stand out more so that's a good thing! Good luck to you! Don't be nervous though, just go for it like I did! One thing the manager told me, having makeup skills is excellent for the job, of course, but those are things that can be taught. It's your personality that will really get you noticed. And I was like oh I hope they like my personality then! lol I really clicked with the managers when we talked, it was the first time in my life I didn't feel like I was really being interviewed, I felt like I could be myself but still maintaining professionalism of course. My advice to you is just be yourself! I know it sounds cliche but trust me, it will help you shine!
