Pick yourself up and try again!

I've been a fitness instructor, nail technician (not for long) then went to college to do make up and got a fab job on the Lancôme counter.
I then left to work full time(now i regret this as if was still there would have been 8 years!!)working with children In care (very emotional job) it wasn't for me so I was lucky enough to get another job on the counter working for Estée Lauder.
During this time I was going through some real hard times emotionally, financially ect wasn't the best employee and left to go to university (again not a very good choice, though if I hadn't wouldn't have met my now fiancé, and have my adorable 18mth old). I think things happen for a reason! :Love: though recently a post came up, again on a make up counter and now I'm settled and sooo happy thought great, this is for me whilst I study nails part time.
Went for the interview, after 4weeks got told didn't get the job. I think there's underlying issues from the manager as my past attendance was not good.

What im trying to say is isn't a shame that you don't know a good thing when you got it, and now I'm 30 I realise how important it is to put your all into something you love... Don't give up when the going gets rough!!!
Anyone been through similar work experiences???

Like you said everything happens for a reason! Could you offer a make up service? Bridal etc? Don't give up and try again there must be something better out there for you! Xx

That is exactly my plan, bridal service. Am re training in nails in may and doing a waxing and pedicure courses, problem being money so it's all very slow. I do work part time but live by my means ect. Thankyou for your reply, are you a beautician? Is there light at the end of the tunnel?:hug:xx

It's never too late to learn from past experiences, refocus and start again; don't worry too much about the past now and focus on what you can do in the present to bring yourself a better future. I've only been working in a salon for a few months and I'm 30! I love what I do and feel settled now; I have goals I still want to achieve and it has taken this long to find my feet. So go for it, don't give up and give it your all now x

Yes, i do nails and tanning... I did hair and beauty at college nvq 1 & 2 and decided not to follow it thru, I've worked on reception at a salon where I've learnt tanning and it gave me the push to go & learn nails so i went on a bio sculpture course, i have been mobile for 18 months (whilst working) i am starting to run a profit, so it is time for me to do a waxing course but with the kit i need a good lump sum! I have a waxing certificate but i just don't feel confident doing the service. Tinting/ lashes etc i feel confident doing as i always did my own and my friends.

Ideally i want to get a room to rent but not til i have all the treatments And kit i want to offer. Id also like (one day) to refresh my make up skills, there is so much you can do!
