OK, so you just graduated from a great esthetics' school, but your phone is not exactly ringing off the hook with job offers yet. What should you do? Sit around for months until you get an esthetics' job and forget everything you learned in school? No, get motivated and use your social media to offer free facials to friends, family and church members. Get your name out there so when you do get an esthetics' job these people will remember you and come to you for facials and waxing instead of another esthetician.
In this economy you have to strategically think of a game plan, and while you interview for jobs don't forget to tell the employer that you donate facials to new moms or the elderly at your church...it looks good that you have a heart. It shows your passion for esthetics, it demonstrates your passion to be in the game even if you aren't getting paid with money quite yet.
I know a brilliant 20-year-old now, she just graduated recently and she has two part-time on-call esthetician jobs and she posts on social media sites/ and advertises to her church about her facials for charity, and she is busting at the seams with clients ready and willing to relax in her bed. I know many of you are thinking why would I give away something for free? Sometimes you have to think outside of the box, and try a different approach, and this recent graduate I know is building a clientele. Sure, some won't come back when she starts charging money for the facials, but those who do come back will help build her business. This is what I call smart career planning! (check your state laws)
Krista, if you are reading this one, I am so proud of you! You are truly an inspiration to all the aspiring estheticians out there!
