Do you prefer sending your resume in person? Or through the fax/email?

[BloodMittens]

Okay, I personally like giving out my resumes in person, in a nice big envelope. I don't know why, I just think it feels much better doing so.

I found out MAC in Chicago is hiring from craigslist.com. I keep watch on it for each time they put something of the sort out, so I am going to go and bring my resume in to them and also to Sephora which is also hiring.

Soooo, how do you put in your cosmetics retail resumes?

Or how did you put in your resume that got you the job? And which way do you think is better?

I have always taken my resumes in myself instead of emailing. I always make sure when I drop it off to let them know how highly interested in the position I am...I've always thought it seemed more personal taking resumes in instead of emailing

Especially for beauty-related jobs, in person! Then they can see you and be impressed by how well put-together you look

I'm not completely sure, I wrote mine on emurse.com and worked from there. It seemed to work out fine because I have a interview next week at MAC

Retail experience I know is a MUST with them, cosmetic application especially for freelance. I put mine down as part-time.

I personally like doing it in person. Dress the part and make a great first impression! But I think the most important thing is to follow the instructions that you're given. So if they say please e-mail us your resume or CV, it's probably best to do that instead of handing it in personally, anyway.

Well, I work in retail, and I think it's better to hand it in in person, but if it was said to e-mail your resume, e-mail it, but I don't think it would hurt to hand another copy in as well.

I think it would be better to do it in person. You're gonna be working in a customer service environment so to speak, so it kinda puts you out there in that light.

Plus you never know who may be there to receive it, and that personal touch may help them remember you..
