Well, I applied for a full-time position at the Clinique counter at Macy's. (We don't have a MAC counter
)
I first went through Macy's HR, and made sure I brought my Freelance resume with me to show my cosmetics experience, as well as my professional resume to show my sales. She had me come back an hour later when the cosmetics manager came in, so I could then interview with her.
She was wonderful- so sweet. She said she was impressed with my resumes, and told me that my makeup was flawless and that "you look like a Clinique girl!". She also complimented my complexion and said that if I worked at Clinique, that would be a good selling point since they focus so much on skin care. She told me they often don't hire cosmetics workers off the street- they usually recruit in-house. But she was impressed with me, and told me she was very glad she met me. Tomorrow I have an interview with the Clinique counter manager (who has been there 11 years!) Any idea what to expect? I know she's going to do a demo on ME, and I asked if I would get to do a demo on anyone. I would like to, if possible, after observing their sterilization, etc techniques.
Can anyone tell me about their experiences with Clinique? It's my favorite brand after MAC, and if you've seen my FOTDs, you know I'm pretty conservative when it comes to makeup (so why do I want all of C-Shock???)
