I was thinking about this for long time and today i finally decided to ask you some suggestion...i just think that you're the best person who can answer to this.
I already found some other members who posted a thread related to what i wanted to ask but it was not exactly my situation and i felt bad to ask my question in another member's thread (just sounds like sort of an intrusion, don't know why XD)
I know it's a stupid question and i might seem childish but, anyway...
I was hoping to get my university graduation in july but probably it will be on semptember due to some burocratic problems
'( ) so i'll probably need to work part-time in the summer period.
I've always dreamed to work at MAC since the first time i entered the counter in my city but i've always thought that only MAs could work there.
Anyway recently i saw some threads by people who did their application even if they were not MAs so that's why i'm opening this thread...
I really don't know if i have the right qualities to do an application though so i need your suggestion...
I think i have a good knowledge of basic skincare, makeup application, colour matching topics and i have a good knowledge of MAC products (though i surely would study hard if i had the possibility to work there, i surely don't know everything sold by MAC!) and of course i do love make up and MAC (as all of you!)
I worked part time for a year and a half in a big clothes shop in a very big shopping center, so I know how to deal with the costumer (and i like it very much!) and have the mentality of the retailer, know that selling as many products as you can (without forcing the costumer though) is the most important thing. I speak good english (or at least, i think so! XD) and a little french and german and understand and speak some basic japanese (which i think is important to work in a shop in a very touristic city like Florence).
But i really don't know if MAC counters only employ MAs or also non-MAs and i don't know if they employ people part time.
Plus i never had experience in cosmetic retails...
So i'll really appreciate if some of you could answer to these questions.
Another question i have, in case the previous ones have positive answer, is: should i just go to the counter and leave my CV, saying i'd like to work for them without knowing if they're searching new employees?
I don't want to look childish, also because is the only MAC counter i can go to shop and i would feel embarassed later to go there if i think i made a bad/childish impression...I know i seem stupid but try to understand me
In this case how should i write the CV? Should i write my make-up related knowledge or should i just wait for a possible interview to say these things?
Thanks very much in advance to everyone who want to answer, i would really appreciate it!
