Few questions: should I even bother applying at MAC?

[amymichele]

I'm interested in applying at MAC, but based on the other posts I've read here, I'm not sure if I should even give it a shot.

1. I'd be applying in Manhattan, probably at Soho or a department store counter.
2. I have no retail experience. I work in the music industry, so all my work experience has been at offices (PR, management, law, etc.)
3. I could work all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, but not T - Th.

So, based on that, I don't even know if it's worth going through the process. Any opinions?

Thanks in advance!

Right now there are no real open positions in any of the SoHo MACs, but if you are interested, it is worth putting in an application for freelance & at least trying.

If at all, I'd be applying in late August, if that makes any difference?

Do you think my complete lack of retail experience would be a huge negative against me?
