I think it all depends on where you go. Perhaps some counters go so many application requests that having a portfolio kind of pre-screens your abilities and helps shorten the list faster? It must be frustrating having to go through a ton of resumes trying to decide who to call in to interview.
Then again, i was at a Pro store just the other day and the girl who helped me had no formal makeup training at all... but she'd been a model for MAC before and I guess did some self-employed freelancing work before. Sometimes it all comes down to connections too...
just my thoughts...

Thats strange. I know in Texas they have to give you an application, otherwise its discrimination and illegal. However they don't have to hire you by any means..

San diego, and its a mac store, thier are actually two mac stores around me and the one about 20 mins away from me gets insanely busy but the one i want to work at is 5 mins away and never gets as busy as the one thats 20 mins away. Im putting together a smashing portfolio so hopefully they'll be blown away...

sissy, all the people at a pro store are makeup artists ( with the exception of a stock person). But pro stores do sometimes call in freelancers for busy event days or just as on-call status.

the people tha twork at the pro store are like amazing makeup artist they're the people that are going to get sent out to accutally do makeup events for mac (low key ones of course all the high publicity stuff will go to the senior artists and trainors) Not only are they makeup artists but they help give the pro classes...they're the most hands on of any mac salesperson.
