Esthetics: The Real Deal on Internships

I tell esthetician students this all the time, get an internship while you are in school, it doesn't matter if you are folding towels or dusting the products off the shelf. You need to align yourself with a learning spa or salon, a place you can learn industry secrets, and a place that you can add to your resume. Anyone who has graduated from esthetics school, in a good or bad economy, knows it is not easy to break into this industry with no experience, you have to think smart. You must get ahead of the game. Talk to your instructor and see if they can help you get an internship, but DO NOT WAIT UNTIL GRADUATION DAY to decide that an internship might have been important. The time is now, do it while you are in school and increase your odds exponentially at getting a job as an esthetician.
