anyways...did u have a problem scoring hours and stuff at first? when i went to the paperwork signing and stuff today -- where they pretty much broke everything down -- they made it seem like there wasnt much of a chance i would get a call unless i made myself 'known' ... but i dunno how to make myself known ... unless they call me in. errrr...


also...
how was ur overall experience being freelance/on-call? im kinda nervous. i have no idea what to expect ... cuz u kno, all my friends were hired as perms right off the back. PM me giiiirl...we gots ta talk!

hey love. well i was lucky. i interviewed at Macy's union square and i guess they really liked me and had me freelance there exclusively. THey didn't want to share me with other counters/stores. So I say take the advice mentioned above on how to "score" hours.

I worked on- call for about a month. I had a good experience. The thing is, you should know your shit. It helps if you know the prices of everything, and basic product knowledge of most of the products coz customers will ask! Also read up on products that you dont normally use so that just in case a customer asks about it, you'll be able to sell it! (in my case i didn't know much about the eye khols and powerpoints coz i only use fluidlines!) other than that you shouldn't have trouble. The more you know about MAC and their products, the easier it will be.

Once you start working make sure you keep up with your AUS/IPT. Managers look at that to see if you have potential in meeting sales goals. HTH!
