May and June are blooming lots of esthetician graduates. What an exciting adventure for those new students to embrace. Whether you are still a student, or you are a recent graduate, it is never too soon to start networking and planning for your future career. Here are some tips for students and recent graduates:(1) Before you graduate make contact with several area spas and/or secure an internship or part-time job.
(2) Your resume should have hit the ink press long before you graduate-you should have it reviewed by either your esthetics instructor or a person in the field. Remember, while your other experiences might show you are responsible, most spas are looking for specific spa experience. Include your picture.
(3) Have a list of two to three references ready to hit the print button for those interviews. A great person to have on your list is your instructor...he or she knows your work ethic and skills the best.
(4) Have a professional outfit ready to go for your interview day. Your outfit should be a reflection of the type of spa you are applying for. If you are looking for a Rock & Roll spa a funky, bright colored outfit with your tattoos showing is acceptable, but if you are applying for a Ritz-Carlton job you need to have a business like appearance.
(5) Review your esthetics notes, including vocabulary. Practice your facials and waxing before you interview. An employer might ask you esthetics specific questions, and they might just ask you to perform a facial or waxing on the spot so be prepared. Don't be nervous, remember they might want a free facial LOL!
