I looked through this forum but I might have missed something that already answered this question, but I didn't see it to the best of my knowledge so here it goes!
I was working at my job currently, I'm a beauty specialist for Victoria's Secret, but that's isn't saying much at all, because we really can't do people's makeup except for associates and lip-touch ups. I have been doing makeup for my friend's for dances, prom and even my sister's wedding banquet when I was 15 years old. Everyone has always told me I'm a natural at doing makeup and this one day two of the girls I know from my MAC counter came into my work to buy a bra. I was the only girl on the floor at that time, so I helped them (we know each other by name, so it's nothing huge), and they both told me my eyemakeup was gorgeous and asked where I got it. MAC of course, and they both laughed and they asked me if I could recognize what they were wearing, I did, and I only missed one of the eyeshadows which was vellum. They both told me to come and put in an application at MAC, telling me they would both put in a good word. And that I had the talent to get the job there and the technique.
So the next day when I wasn't working, I came to the mall with my boyfriend, and I left him in a bookstore to come to MAC which is next door and bought some stuff, because Flashtronic had just come out and I was happyyyyy about it
And then I asked the girl I know there also who is the MA that has been the longest working there since I started shopping at the counter if I could get an application. She smiled and told me "Sure!" and checked the folder only to find they didn't have any. So she went all the way downstairs to their office to find one while I looked around but she couldn't find one. Then she said she was sorry and gave me the fax # and phone # to the district manager and told me "All the applications go to her anyways, have you ever done makeup on someone before?" I went into explanation that I have done makeup for my friends for dances, and prom and my sister's wedding as well. She asked me if I had ever taken pictures of the makeup from a closeup view. I told her no, but I did have my sisters wedding photos that were slightly close up on the bridesmaids which I did the makeup. She told me to do some of my friend's makeup and then take the pictures and fax them to the district manager and along with a resume.
So I'm wondering, has anyone who has a job at MAC ever done this, to help them get the job? Is it good to send some pictures along with the resume? I want a full-time job there, and the girl told me this was the way she got the job and told me it would really help me in the long run.
Help? I really would like this job.
