With four weeks left
I officially filled out my first application today. Yesterday, I had two mock interviews with recruiters from Regis corporation and with Ratner corporation. The one with Regis was a sit-down only interview and they would have hired me on the spot, except for the fact that my custody schedule conflicts with what availability they need in a stylist

The interview I had with Ratner corporation, however, was in two parts. The first part, was a mock technical - I had to demonstrate that I could do a haircolor retouch, a virgin haircolor application (it's when color is put on hair that has never been touched by chemicals, hence, virgin), and two separate foiling techniques. I also had to demonstrate that I could perform a layered haircut on a mannequin.

The second part was a sit-down interview. One of the people from Ratner has actually been to my school at least half a dozen times since I started school. She knows of my situation and still wants me in her salon. I have been to her location to shadow for a day and I got to meet the stylists that work there and we had a great time. I learned a lot and it was a really good experience for me.

I was told to "apply online quickly" so that I can get a formal interview. For that, I'll need a male and female model for my technical interview. Big Grin

While they can hire me now, I can't officially work in the capacity of a hairstylist until after the school has sent my transcripts to the State Board of Cosmetology, after I graduate. I will then receive my license about a week later. So I'm thinking that I can start as early as March 11th.

Either way, I really like the benefits package offered by Ratner. 401K, long and short term disability, Health insurance, including vision and dental. Paid vacations, paid holidays and they even have a program for their employees that fall on hard times. The pay is hourly plus 45% commission on services to start. They offer free continuing education, certification in Redkin color and they will send you to the two big annual beauty shows on their dime. There is plenty of room for advancement as well.


Please keep your fingers crossed. I would love to be able to get to my graduation day knowing that I already have work lined up.

Way to go, Judi. From my own experience as a hiring manager, I can tell you, when they say "apply online quickly", it means they need people badly and you fit the bill. Get 'er done -- if they know they've got a good one in the pipeline, they'll give you those few weeks.
