I've been wanting to get into makeup artistry for quite sometime. For a while I wanted to enroll in Makeup Designory (I live in NY), but I'm not so sure anymore.
I really want to get a job as a sales girl at perhaps a Sephora or a MAC (any other high end company would be nice, but I know the most about MAC) to help me decide if makeup is the real career path I want to take.
I was speaking to one of the sales girls at a MAC counter in a Macy's near me (Queens) and she was saying that all I need to do is drop off a resume' and cover letter to a store manager at the specific MAC that I want to work at.
Now, my main questions are: Does anyone work for these or similar stores and how was the process. Does dropping off a resume to the manager still apply if it's a department store? If so, who do I give it to, someone who works at the counter or the actual manager of that entire cosmetics department while expressing interest in MAC specifically? What are the interviews like? What should I know ahead of time?
I'm a great people person, and I am fairly knowledgeable in makeup application and techniques. I learn quickly and quickly understand the products. I'm just scared of the application process because I don't want my first impression to be a dumb one.
Anyway, next week I'm going to spend most of my time in Manhattan job hunting just about everywhere, but focusing primarily on cosmetic stores and boutiques and clothing stores.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this long annoying thing and you opinions and advice are greatly appreciated.
