Hi guys,
So I went on my MAC interview this weekend. I decided to make a memorable entrance so I spent a good portion of my day prepping my model. I recreated the Color Craft look ( yes, that crazy one with all the balloon like colors around the eyes)lol. I did her hair as well. When I walked in the manager asked to take a picture of her
And then asked who did her make up, I smiled and introduced myself as her 2pm interview. I was not sure how that would play out , but it went over better than I had expected. THANK GOD for this site because I was totally prepared when they switched our models for the live demo. I had read on several posts here that that was common practice. The demo went great and all that MAC history cramming paid off.
The one on one portion went well and I was told that they would be in contact the following week.
*****38 minutes later*****
My cell rings, they have an opening for me!!!
Needless to say I was stoked! They asked for me to return the next day. I came in expecting to talk about schedules and sign paperwork, read company policy ect,ect,ect....but instead I was greeted by the store manager and her assistent. I was going to be put through yet another interview. I had prepared a digital powerpoint presentation in place of a hard copy portfolio, they watched the presentation and then proceeded with the questions. They were far more intense then the previous questions delving deeper into my product knowledge and previous experience as a freelance artist in theatrical make up. I was pretty confused at this point because in all the information I gathered previous to my initial interview I was not aware that there was another round of interviews.
I thought I was trying for a job at Macy's with the my future plans set on trying to work my way up to the MAC store someday. The manager informed me that this interview was for the Store. My jaw about dropped to the ground
She said that they have never ,in that particular stores history ,ever hired someone "outside" for a position in their store, it was always done from promoting them up from the department stores.
Im honored and quite honestly freaking out right now
After hearing all they had to say Im trying really hard to wrap my head around this. The expectations will be high she said...no break in period. Both sides are now in uncharted waters here, I want to do this in the worst way, but whoh.
As it stands today, the state regional director ( I believe that is her title) is in Toronto right now, when she returns I will go through a final interview....H-E-L-P
If you work at a MAC store and could give me any insight what so ever I would appreciate it more than I could ever express...I 'm ready to give this amazing opportunity everything I can, I just want to prepare myself the best way possible....
