If you scan the online classifieds you might find several promising esthetics jobs despite the economy, but before you shoot off your perfectly polished resume make sure it is a legitimate esthetics job. I don't say this to rain on any one's parade, but unfortunately there are a lot of MLM (multi level marketing) companies out there that prey on new graduates. There are several companies that I see on the online classifieds frequently;week after week they say they are looking for estheticians, but in reality anyone can join their MLM--CLUE no# 1--no esthetics license required CLUE #2--If you have to buy a business kit or any type of start up kit to be an esthetician with them, it is not a real job. CLUE # 3-If they want you to have a coming out party where you invite all of your family, friends and contacts steer clear. CLUE # 4 No estheticians friends or teachers have ever heard of the product line, not a good sign.
I know so many of you recent graduates are struggling to find work in this economy, and when you see these wonderful ads that require no experience in the field, you might feel like you found the dream job. I know it is discouraging and down right annoying that these places advertise these great jobs, but in reality they are no different than selling plastic containers, kitchen gadgets, and other MLM products. If you are searching for a job to gain valuable esthetics experience, MLM's are not the way to go.
Keep positive, the right job is out there for you.
***I am not against MLM's. However, this blog post is meant to help recent grads filter through the real estheticians jobs, and ones that are MLM. There is nothing wrong with MLM's if you like to do parties, but my whole purpose and presence on the blog is to help students and recent graduates in their careers.***
