Hi, I don't want to jinx myself, but I have got to ask someone that has gotten hired to work at MAC for advice! (This is a little lengthy, so hang in there! Just wanna make sure I have covered all the facts.)
Here is the situation:
I know all of the MA's at my MAC counter and have been shopping there for about 2 years. I have expressed interest in working there a while back to one of the regular MA's, but there was never an opening. Finally, they had 3 openings and I had just started working for Clinique, and one of my friends went up there and interviewd and got the job! Well, I never applied because I hated to burn bridges with Clinique at that time, so the positions were all filled. So, I went to buy a lipgelee one night and a girl asked for an application and the counter manager that was ringing me up said that she didn't have one and for the girl to check back. Well, I told her I was interested in applying so that if they had anything open up in the future, and she told me that if I could come back the next day she could have one for me to fill out. She asked me about where I was working and I explained that I am working for Clinique but would be putting in my notice because of scheduling conflicts. She asked me what kind of hours I would want to work, and things like that, and then asked me to come back the next day. I came back and filled out the application and my friend that works there was there and talked to me for a minute. Well, my friend called me later that night and said that the counter manager had mentioned to her that she would really like to hire me as a freelance but that I would not be able to work at Clinique (which I knew). I went in again to buy some things and she told me this, and I told her that I would be leaving Clinique and that I was very interested and gave her my resume. She asked me some more questions and said that as far as she knew I would not have to wait any amount of months between the counters if she were to hire me, so I could let her know as soon as I did not work for Clinique and it wouldn't be a problem.
So, today is my last day at Clinique, and my question is, what is the best way to get back in touch with her and let her know that I am very interested and knowledgable and want the position? I also don't want it to sound like I quit Clinique because I knew I had the job at MAC (because I don't know). Someone help! This has to leave a lasting impression that will get me at least a demo interview!
Thanks in advance for anyone who took the time to even finish reading this post! I will be sure to pay you back in the future!
