Just got back from the Verbal Interview..but now I have questions!
I was going to post this under the "interview" thread but I have some questions that only MAC employees would probably be able to answer so I figured I'd just make a new one....although if it needs to be moved by all means... lol
Ok so..the verbal interview went aweeeesomeeee. I was nervous because I have a tendency to do the "umm uhh...umm..." thing when asked a question I have to really think about but for some reason every question she asked I immediately answered with a quickness and was actually surprised at how much I rocked it lol. (Even though there was another girl in there who was just observing who I could feel was grillin me the entire time and that was making me SO uncomfortable lol).
I'm waiting for my demo interview appointment to be set now. Whats crazy is I thought this was for a freelance position but it's actually for a part time position!!!
She told me they had 3 positions open--two 25 hr and a 30 hr. She then told me "we're most likely going to hire within the company for the 30 hr position because these positions are very rare and only come every so often"
She then told me that 80 to 90% of the entire staff is part time only!! That it's extremely difficult to become a full time employee unless you get promoted to a Manager. ?? Really???? That really sucks!!! Why is that? Do they just not want anyone getting benefits? That's the main reason I chose this path vs. the hairstylist path, because hairstylists don't receive any sort of benefits and a company such as MAC does?
I mean I'm not complaining about a part time position if I got it, I'm stoked! I'm just worried about never making enough money and being forced to have to do something else on the side. Which leads me to the next thing...they said "you must be very flexible and be able to work any days including weekends, as Saturdays are MANDATORY especially for part time employees. Now flexible to me would mean that they don't have a set schedule, that your days of the week are varied and inconsistent. SO that would mean you really couldn't have another part time job unless it was willing to work around your inconsistent MAC schedule?
Its all confusing to me. I know I'd do well with the company but I wish they offered more full time positions. She made it sound like no one EVER gets a full time position. I really want to grow with in the company and be able to make a nice living JUST doing that!
Is there anyone on here that is having a problem with not making enough money only working part time? Or having to juggle two jobs just to be able to continue working for MAC??
I'd really hate for this to cause a problem and it be a reason that I can't work for them. I just don't know how I'd make a living only working part time.
Oh and if its required to work every saturday how do they do that if they have 25 part time employees?? They have them ALL working on Saturdays? She said they rotate the Sundays but the Saturdays are mandatory. It seems like they'd be totally overstaffed on that day if every employee was working on that day lol.
sorry this is SO long!!!! But
and I know you guys can give me answers!!
