OMFG IM SO HAPY!!! i got through to the next stage
wooooo
i rang up this morning and the woman was really helpful she told me what was going to happen and that she was going to ask me some questions which will take about 10 minutes...
anyways the questions she asked me where:
What i know about MAC (i mentioned the 5 mac programmes; mac pro, aids fund, kids helping kids, back to mac, cruelty free beauty and i mentioned where it was established, who were the founders, the companies motto; all ages, all sexes, all races blah blah she was pretty impressed she said i covered everything!)
Why do i want to work for them? (i basically told her my passion for makeup and how i think i would fit in with the mac emplyees etc.)
Whats my favourite makeup style? (i couldnt pick one and i had no idea what to say so i just said im into like bright, neon colours lol)
What experience ive had? (i said ive practised on friends, family etc. and im starting a makeup course which will take 6 months)
If ive had any retail experience? (i told her i worked for 2 companies which i have done in the past.. and i told her what things i did)
Whats my personal image like?
ummm there was about 2 more questions i think... cant remember, im sure one of them was what do i think a mac artists duties are, and the other was something about sales goals.
It was pretty easy, i was worrying before hand incase they asked me about 100 questions and i would freeze over the phone but it was very easy, quick and simple really.
She put me on hold for about 2 minutes then came back and told me i made it through to the next stage where i will be getting an interview face to face in a few weeks time when the area manager rings me, they will provide a model for me, i will have to do a few looks on the model and it would be helpful if i took in some photos just to show my skill
