About the age thing: When I was group interviewed I was 17, and everyone said how old they were at the interview! I didn't have my second and third interviews until just after my 18th birthday though, they wrote down my birthday on my resume so they could call me as soon as I was old enough and when they were hiring!
Why MAC artist wear all black : To keep the focus on our faces of course!
When I went to my group interview I brought my portfolio when most people don't. It turned out being a great thing for me because after the interview I snagged the manager and asked her if she has a moment to look through it, she started looking through it but then said she'd better say goodbye to some more people and she asked me if I could bring it to my next interview! So I did that, so her and the ass.manager could look through it with me together!
At the demo interview, yes you have to do everything from prepping the skin, to setting the makeup. Eyes lips skin, everything!

This is a great question! and i THINK i saw a girl ONOCE in montreal but it could have been my imagination...I think they would though! ALOT of women cover...it would invite another market....

...wow! Really? so- covering her hair meas she should just stay home? shes not looking to be a hair stylist...and by the way considering you have to go find your loks online dont you think other women who cover there hair might like someone to relate too when cosmetic shopping?

If you have to stay covered for culture or religious reasons, how about trying Mobile work? starting your own business doing home-call work? weddings?? .. hope this helps with your question .. good luck |

Waiting for final (?) interview with MAC...how long did you wait?
I could use some advice from you all:
It's been 2 weeks to the day that I interviewed with MAC. I was told that I would be having another (final?) interview with the Account Exec. and Trainer to answer more Q's and also do my demo.
I haven't heard a peep since!
How long have you all waited for the next phase? For those that did not get the position(s) did you receive any kind of notice/message stating that you didn't get the job or notifying you that the position was filled?
After waiting 1 week, I did call to thank her for the interview and to say I was really looking forward to the following meeting/interview. Still no response...and I'm not about to call or keep pestering her.
What really scares me is I've even seen announcements for openings for MAC in this same area that just got posted yesterday by the same person who did my interview two weeks ago. Does this mean they're still looking for more? Does this mean I didn't get the position? You can see why I'm so confused.
*Sigh* Any insight you have will help immensly! Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I feel your pain. Mine it's been about 3 weeks now and I still haven't heard from then. I thought I did well on my initial interview but they still haven't called me back for a demo and I saw a posting too hiring from my area as well
I don't know what that means but Im starting to give up my hopes...
Are you by any chance on the DC/MD/Va area?
