hi geeks!
i went for an interview last week at a fab spa! im going back tomorrow for a trade test, ive got to do a massage and a manicure! i feel ill i am so scared. i never had to do a trade test where i am at now since i started there when i was still at college. i am only petite and i know that massage isnt my strongest point, and i am so scared of messing up.
also would it be okay for me to wear my uniform from the place where i am working now, even though it has there name embroidered on the front, just i dont have a plain one! and would i be ok to take it with me and change into it when i get there, sorry for babbling, just wanna get this right! xx by the way, sorry if i posted this in the wrong section

I see no reason why you cant wear your uniform.I would go in it though,just pop a coat or cardi over the top until you get in the spa.

As for massage,think of all those Thai girls who are tiny yet perform a fantastically deep massage.Your massage pressure is not governed by your size.I would say try to relax,give as deeper massage as is needed,but definately steer clear from being too light as this is something that most salons dont want.Check that your pressure is ok and if not give more pressure by adjusting your stance.

I am sure you will be absolutely fine.All of us have had to do a trade test at some time or other and we all felt uneasy about it believe me.

Dont let it worry you too much though or it will affect your performance.

HTH and keep us posted xx
