... At the Florida Mall in Orlando.
Sometime at the end of September, I wandered around the mall asking anyone and everyone for applications. I went into LUSH & they had me e-mail in a resume.
( I applied at MAC and made sure my makeup was FLAWLESS when I turned in the app, but the lady was mean & I think she threw out my app... ANYWAY)
I got a call maybe a week or so later to come in for a group interview on that Sunday. We were to dress up as fairy tale chars. I chose Little Red Riding hood & I had this amazing outfit. ANYWAY .... We were split into groups & did demos on each other to see if we were comfortable touching strangers, etc.
I didn't actually think I had done too well, and had had another interview at a place I wasn't particularly interested in before the manager finally called me and asked me in for a second interview. I felt it went really well and was told to call back in about a week or so, which I did.
I went in for paperwork & we just started training on the 8th. My first day was the 7th.
It's really kind of overwhelming, because you really do have to know a lot about the products in the store. I.E. ingredients, uses, etc. Skin and haircare are hardest, but I think they're my favorite just because they're so complex. I've also never actually had to sell people things before, but I'm having a lot of fun & I think I'm getting the hang of it!
I'm only seasonal right now, but I'm totally plottin' on that core staff position.
