Recent Esthetician Graduates

Did you recently graduate in esthetics? Are you struggling to find a position? Don't despair. It is a tough economy for almost every career out there right now, you are not alone. We are close to an 8.6% jobless rate, but that doesn't mean you can't land that job. Here are some tips to help you in your career search:

(1) Resumes should include a cover letter detailing your attributes.
(2) Resumes need to specify all product lines you have used.
(3) Include a professional picture of yourself with all resumes.
(4) Highlight areas showing your additional certifications and degrees.
(5) Consider purchasing a professional skin care membership and include that on resume.
(6) Highlight the job experiences that are relevant to your esthetics career: salon coordinator, shampoo person, spa receptionist.
(7) If you are a career changer-include you previous work experience, but remember to highlight the esthetics career experience.
(8) Volunteer your time giving free facials to at a local church to the elderly or to disadvantaged women and add that to your resume.
(9) Branch out on your own and do mobile facials and wedding/spa parties (according to your state laws) until you get your career off and running.
