Hey everyone! So I have a few questions about applying. I apologize in advance for writing a novel, I just feel the back story is kind of necessary. First off, I'm originally from Eugene, OR and am visiting my mother (open-ended) in Scottsdale, Arizona. Now I've applied at Sephora in my hometown a few times before and never heard anything, which I'm sure is due to my lack of experience and that it is almost impossible to get a job in that town. My only (real) job was working for Wendy's for about 9 months. I personally think I excelled wonderfully at that job especially with customers, which is obviously a huge part of being a sephora employee. So for my first question. I was contemplating applying at a sephora here in AZ, because the job market is much better here and I think even with my lack of experience I have a chance getting hired here, but I could only do so knowing that I could for sure transfer to the SiJCP in Eugene. I would just wait till I decide to go home and apply again, but I'm almost positive nothing would come of it. I doubt they want to take a chance on a 19 year old with one previous job from an alternative high school and not attending college. ANYWHO- back to the actual questions... 1) how long must you be working for (or what is the minimum amount of time) one store before you can transfer to another one out of state? 2) can you transfer from a free-standing to a SiJCP without issues from JCP? Or do you have to go through a whole JCP hiring process? 3) best case scenario if my sephora in Eugene had openings (that is IF I got hired here in AZ) can they decide not to accept you? Or do they have to let you transfer to their store? Obviously I know you have to have good recommendations from the current manager and all that. But I REALLY want this job, I've wanted to work here for 5 years now. I want to apply here in AZ, but not if I would just lose the job shortly after from needing to return home and being unable to transfer. I so desperately wish I could just sit a manager from Eugene down and be like "listen, I know my resume doesn't show much, and it doesn't reflect my abilities at all considering how hard it is to get a job with how tough times are right now, but I've been wanting to work in this industry since forever. My life revolves around makeup. My mother was a MUA while I was young, and ever since I was about 7 I knew this was going to be what made me the happiest. As a young teen I would sit in front of my laptop for hours on end just watching tutorials online, and then spend hours in front of the mirror practicing. If you could please just PLEASE give me a chance to show you that my resume does nothing for me and that I could really excel at this job, it would mean the world. I know without a doubt I would do well with this company" But you can't really do that lol. I want this job so much. Eventually I want to be a MUA for runways and special-FX, high fashion, avant gard (sp?) things like that. Working for Sephora would be an amazing start to the professional side of things. I know that I have the talent on the artistry end of things. I just need the chance!
