I'm an offical MAC MUA!!!! Yippie
Oh my goodness I am so excited that I can't even believe it.
I got a phone call last night from the LA recruiter of MAC asking me if I could come in today for a group interview at the corporate office in El Segundo. She explained to me that this is a new way of hiring people to speed up the hiring process. She told me to come in with a female model, my social security card, valid ID and a voided check if I was interested in direct depost. She informed me that they are going to be hiring people on the spot that if i was selected I would need to have those items.
Anyway, I went in today for the interview. There were 12 ladies there including myself. We all sat around a table and introduced ourselves and stated any retail/cosmetic exprience that we may of had. Then they had our models go sit in the makeup chairs. They gave all of our models a number. They then gave all of us makeup artist a number. It pretty much made us all end up with someone other then the person we brought in. They said we are going to have 30 minutes to create a daytime look, for us to ask our models what they want. I then went and picked out all the products I used and sterilized them all. We then went on with the demo. While doing my demo I explained EVERYTHING I did and EVERYTHING I used I also made small talk with the client to make her feel comfortable. After we were done with our day time look. The 3 MAC employees went around and took notes on all of our work. Keep in mind they were walking around the whole time we were doing the demo taking notes also. Then then had us put back all the products we used.
Now they told us to turn our daytime look into a night time look but by only using 3 different products. So I picked a darker lipstick, fluid liner, and darker eyeshadow for the crease. Then they walked around and took more notes. They handed out evaluation cards to all the models rating us from 1 to 5. 5 being that the MUA did exactly what they wanted and 1 being the MUA did whatever the hell they wanted. The models also had to write down 2 new tips they learned that they are going to use in the future. They they had us take a 20 minute break.
After the 20 minute break they called us all back into the training room. They called a couple of girls and their models into another room. Then they came back and called a few more girls and their models. I was left in this room with 3 other girls. I was so nervous. They walked back in and asked our models to please go wait in the waiting room. At this point I was really thinking I didn't get it. I thought OMG they are sending out our models so they don't have to humiliate us infront of our models by telling us we didn't make it. Then the LA regional Operations Manager told us final 4 congrats we have been selected to work for MAC as perminate employees. Then they went on with offering which locating works out best for us.
So I will be working In Sherman Oak at the Bloomingdales fulltime. It is a brand new location and will not open until Nov.17th. I start training on Nov.3rd.
