Jumping from Clinique???
Hello everyone this is my first post - I'm currently working for Clinique part time at Macy's, I got hired 3 months ago after working as an on-call for a year (and worked my ass off to get considered to transfer to this new location). As passionate as I am about Clinique, I aspire to be a MAC artist!!!!
After 6 months of working as an on-call at my old store and admiring the MAC counter in our dept from afar, I finally reached out to the counter manager and told her that I was hoping to apply sometime. Right on the spot she evaluated me and gave me tips and advice, said my "image" was very beautiful and that I obviously knew how to do makeup, but it's the experience that I lacked (working as an on-call beauty advisor was my very first job). She advised me to increase my attendance credits because attendance is incredibly important at MAC, and to get onboard with another cosmetics counter first.
I've only been working for Clinique for 3 months, but I'm tired of wasting my time with something I'm not truly happy with, and Iwant to move on. IS there anyone out there who can give me some kind of advice on what steps to take to getting my dream job? or if anyone has any stories that they'd like to share on how they got hired to work for MAC?? I know that the holidays are coming up and it's not very likely that they'll wanted to deal with hiring and training new people, so I can wait a few more months. But what can I do to better prepare myself when the time comes?
***I'm aware that It's very possible to work for MAC without having gone to beauty school. There was a girl at my old location who started working for MAC part time (not freelance) after working for Clinique for 3 years.
