Take Extra Classes in Beauty School
Everyone takes the same curriculum in beauty school, so you’ll want to take classes and join extra curriculars that set you a part. The extra experience will give you an edge when you interview with a salon or beauty department. Signing up for extra classes shows how important knowledge is to you. Almost every career in the beauty industry will want you to continue learning, so showing that education is important to you will help you nab a great job. Our students have the opportunity to take extra waxing classes, makeup classes and hair classes.
Create a Great Resume
Before you get an interview, you’ll need to impress managers and owners with a resume. Your resume should include all your related experience, any commendations you received, your grades and additional certifications. Not sure what yours should look like? Take a look at our resume sample.
Build Your Beauty Network
When you’re looking for a job, big network of other professionals in the beauty industry will help. They’ll let you know when a salon or spa is hiring, and if they already work there, they can be your reference. Attend career fairs when you’re in cosmetology school and meet salon owners and managers. Get to know other stylists and makeup artists in the area. When you have a big network, you’ll be the first to hear about amazing career opportunities!
