Hey, okay so I sent Kim Flanner, regional manager for the midwest, my resume in late December and she got back to me right away asking for an interview. I went in and saw her for the first verbal interview and was a bit shaky on some things and a bit nervous, but I did well, I think. I definitely conveyed my love for cosmetics and the MAC brand specifically. I got home and sent a thank you email and was told I would hear from her in a week IF they were interested.
I didn't hear back, but I sent a follow up email giving more thorough answers to questions I thought I might have bombed and talked about the FABCE method, with an example. I included links to my personal makeup blog, my beauty and fashion blog for a local magazine, and my YouTube tutorial videos. I got no response. I sent another email a week later with no response. So recently I decided to get the followers on my blog and my supporters involved. I created a blog post talking about me wanting to work for MAC and asked everyone to comment on the post saying"I want you to work for MAC" or simply like the post. I got great responses and some people even took the time to write compliments and praise for my ability.
I sent a link to the blog post with all the comments off to Kim with some updates on my freelance work and some great advice blog posts I had done recently. I linked in my YouTube page which had 2 new videos since we met. This was 2 days ago, I'm am at least feeling like she should tell me something. I might be a bit aggressive, but I know what I want and I am passionate about what I do. This experience is starting to sour my feelings towards the brand completely. Don't I at least deserve some acknowledgement, an email telling me that she received it but wasn't interested or something. Is she really the busy?
What do you guys think?
Here are some links to my blogs and YouTube page, maybe I am not talented enough yet. I feel I get better each day.
