Hi, I'm new.
What are your chances of getting hired or at least getting to the demo interview if you've never had any retail experience? I work with people and I basically "sell" food to them lol. There elderly people so sometimes you have to convince them to eat lol.

Oh really? Hopefully you can work something out. *cross fingers*
It went well. I just got on the floor and started helping people, and if I didnt know something I asked questions. I did 4 makeovers. I was so nervous. But over all it was fun. There was always something to do, people to help. And I only got good customers.
The only thing is, ok, so I helped a few girls who liked my look and they were like "what are you wearing" and I told them, and they just bought everything w/o double thinking it. I was reminded of MYSELF!! aaaaaaaaah!
but it was a good experience

^they are looking for retail
Anyway, I just got hired as a permanent employee for part-time. Woot woot!
I didn't do a demo interview, but I had two interviews same day. The first one was with the Counter manager and Assistant counter manager. After their interview I went to interview with the MRO, and I was offer the position the day after.

The 3 positions that were available have been filled. I'll ask when they are hiring again for freelance.

Hi! Just curious to why you didn't have to do a demo. The Nordstrom I interviewed at said that I *might* have to do a demo. Are you by any chance at a Nordstrom? Thanks!

No it wasn't.
I think I didn't have to since I worked as freelance the weekend prior for the manager's roommate/best friend. While working as a freelance that weekend I did make-up for a bridal party. The make up looked awesome and the girl was completely grateful and loved it. Don't hold me to it since that part is speculation on my part.

It will be the same as they asked before, but add more sales or customer service questions. The demo is the same (from I hear since I didn't do a second one) they will ask you to recreate a face chart or do a day look a bring it to night.

Re: I got a demo interview!
Oh MY GOODNESS, I am so intimidated now!! Thanks so much for the helpful post, but JEEZ I could never do that! I guess I don't know nearly enough about MAC as I need to in order to get hired there!! I've been in retail for years and have even managed a retail store, so the sales/customer service part would be easy for me.. but I don't know anything about the color names and brush numbers, except for the ones that I own.

Its not about like knowing all the colors, cus trust me I dont know all of them lol, its about you being able to not just sell em, but educate your customer, and yeah you would need experience in makeup, because you would be doing makeovers alot on customers.
Product knowledge can be taught, but artistry isnt. Just keep practicing
