freelancers aren't used that often. we haven't used any since hello kitty either. we won't be using them again til style warriors, then not again til the fall event.
there isn't a hiring freeze. there just aren't any openings. mac's actually been letting people go lately. keep your fingers crossed it doesn't hold up like this for too much longer, but i wouldn't be expecting a call for a perm. position for quite some time if i were you. sorry hun.

I heard differently. I heard there should be more hours during the summer for all the collections coming out. I hadn't worked since HK either and I finally got some hours for this weekend. I also heard that they are making it even more difficult to get hired. I heard that they have the mangers have to like your look and style or they won't even turn in your resume. I also heard they just don't have the funds for freelancers. idk thats the rumors here. I'm hoping for a permanent position too.

Mac doesn't have an official time limit. Its up to the manager how long/often they wanna keep using you.
