Hi Guys,
Just after a bit of advice really.
I am due to finish my *VRQ Level 3 in Ladies Hairdressing Services & *VRQ Level 3 in Gents Barbering Services in July this year.
Eventually I would like to go into teaching Hairdressing and Barbering.
My issue is this, I need 5 years salon experience before I can gain my teaching qualification.
In my area (St Helens, Merseyside) its difficult to find work within a salon if you are only qualified to Level 2.
I have taken advice from my college tutor who has advised me to take my CV into salons and offer to work for free to start gaining my salon experience.
I am quite happy to work for free, however, I can only work 1 day per week (possibly 2 days when I have finished my gents qualification, as I can probably finish within a month or so) due to work and college commitments, also I can only do the salon work term time as I have 2 small children and I would not be able to afford my childcare costs out of term time.
My question is this, would you take me on under these circustances or am I asking for far too much?
Also, would you be happy if I called into your salon unannounced with my CV or would you rather have the CV delivered through the post so that you can have a look at it when you have the time?
Thank you in advance xxxx
