My manager interviewed a girl last week.
It was the second, one on one interview one has to go through before getting hired to work for MAC.
It started out well, and really professional. By the third question, the candidate started sobbing. My manager, confused and shocked, trying to refrain from laughing, and striving to maintain her status as a professional, handed her a tissue, and asked if it was ok to continue. The girl said yes.
Several questions later, the girl starts sobbing again. My manager finally asked what was wrong. The girl said " My..my..my bunny!" and continued sobbing. Confused once again, my managr thought the girl was refering to her bf, or to her hubby, or a nickname she gave someone. The girl finally says, crying her eyes out:
"My mom said that if I left my house to come to this interview today.....my little bunny would feel lonely and die." Not knowing what to say, my manager told her to go check on her bunny and that we would call her back.
So, first things first, no crying! You're getting interviewed!
Secondly, no cursing! No matter how comfortable the managers get with you during your interview, do not let "Fuck it man!" slip, AT ALL!
Thirdly, fill in all the application forms handed to you when you go deposit your C.V at the counter! NO QUESTIONS ASKED! Do not sit down on that chair, and start filling out the papers, only to say "My god, my god, ths is long! Are you sure my C.V isn't enough? You know what? Forget it!*sigh* This is way too long, call me if there is a position that's available".
No, we will not call you. You DO NOT want this job if you couldn't take 10 minutes of your time to fill out all the papers. We need to know if you have worked for us before.
Next-Group Interviews!!!! Yay!
K, Please please be on time!!!! Nothing is worse than coming in 30 minutes late, because you couldn"t find parking, and walking into the facility, with 5 trainers looking at you, and 10 candiates staring at you, giving you the "Ha-Ha!" look. We will not stop the interview process to ask how your day went, and to start from the beginning.
And if it happens that you are late, DO NOT interrupt the interview by announcing why you are late. It's finished for you at this point.
Secondly, for the love of god, turn your cellphone off! This one might be obvious, but a girl actually answered her cellphone, got up, and left to go talk. When she came back, one of the trainers (he's hilarious!!!!) actually said "You got to be kidding me!" when she even thought of sitting back down.
Wait for you turn to speak, do not speak over someone else, do not interrupt a girl's answer, to not speak bitchily to anyone, only to prove that you are the best one in the room. You will not get a callback!!!
But most importantly never , ever say " If a client is ugly, and we can't do anything about it, I am going to tell her". No MAC girl speaks like that! Wash your mouth with some soap!
Artists, post your hilarious moments during your interviews, but most importantly, post...
What one shouldn't do during the process.....
