CND Pre-qual in Leeds!

[sammyb]

Hi geeks,
This is my first ever post I've been popping in on this wonderful site for many years now and thought it was about time I got going.....better late than never eh!!!

I was just wondering how many of you gorgeous geeks were in Leeds last Friday at the CND shellac pre-qual day?

I got the call on Wed to say i've made it through to boot camp in May (Sooooooo exited I nearly fell off my chair)

So how many of you lot are fellow 'booties' and will be attending in May?
Everyone was so great I dont know how they managed to choose.


Will look forward to seeing you all then :hug:

Oh and a big thank you to Nataliya (so sorry if i've spelt that wrong) for being my 'duck' partner and shellacing my nails, they still look fab!

Hi ya Samantha,

I too was one of the unfortunate ones who didn't make it through. Loads of enthusiasm just not good enough on the day, compared with the others in my area. But I've only been in the Buisness since Feb last year and I took nail training as a hobby something that I never expected would stir up a massive passion in me. It helps that I have the best CND Ambassador in the world Kelly Winterburn & am fortunate enough to be close to the wonderful S2 team. I'm routing for all that got through to bootcamp and can't wait to hear all about it - good luck to you ALL & for those that didn't get through like me, I'll be seeing you next time round xxxxx

That's the CND spirit and a very gracious answer! :hug:


People pass or don't pass pre qualification day on many different criteria, and application skills are not the most important thing because we can change that and improve that for a candidate if they are not perfect.

How a person fits into the team is paramount, personality and motivation is hugely important and of course how many people applying from the same area is important as well as assessment results.

After PRE qualification, there is still bootcamp to pass ... So it is not an easy road. Some simply cannot handle the pressure. Everyone who took part is admirable and your post clearly shows your determination and that you can take it if you have a set back. Well done.

Hun, you have absolutely the right attitude and that is what will make you successful in this business, in fact happy and successful in general! A 'can-do' attitude is so important, and is what has seen my business grow during the recession (helped, of course, by the fabulous public response to Shellac!)

It was fab to meet you, and is lovely knowing that you are routing for us 'Booties'. We will have to make sure our paths cross very soon. xx

PS - To other fellow Booties who haven't added me yet, I'm on Facebook as Gemma Pinfield-Thomas and Up To Scratch Nails xxx

Hi. I'm a newbie geek and was wondering what was this for? Sorry for the lack of knowledge. ;-) xx

No need to apologise! Some of us have applied to join the very best education team in the industry - nay, the World - and become CND Education Ambassadors or CND Shellac Education Ambassadors.

We applied at the end of last year, were shortlisted to attend an audition-style day in Leeds last Friday (Pre-Qual day), and some of us have now reached the final hurdle: CND Bootcamp in early May - very exciting!

Hope this explains. xxx

[AmeliaR]

[chocolatepickle]

I cant wait to see you all there!!
It was a very nerve wracking day friday, I've never done any public speaking before and was terrified- I could literally feel my knees knocking!
Thankfully I made it through alive and I'm sure i'll find it easier next time as a result.
I am so excited for the next stage and crossing everything that i make it!
Well done to everyone who was there though, whether you got through or not, everyone did great just being there :hug:

 

[tigi]

I am so proud and pleased for everyone that attended and also for those that got through. I pulled out at the last minute for my own reasons.

I think that those didnt get chosen will be back to rock it another time. It was not our race this time, but next time ladies and gents, it'll be another story eh?

xxxxxx

 

[sazza83]

I wasn't at the pre qual... we had ours here in February in the Creative Academy in Dublin... I was so nervous, but at the same time I enjoyed every minute of it... so I just hope I'll do well at Bootcamp!!

Best of luck to everyone!! :hug:
