Hello geeks,
Still a bit new to this site , but seems like the best place to ask for advice.
What I was wondering is how you guys who have salons feel about taking on volunteers?
I ask because Ive recently been applying for work experience in beauty salons (calling/writing/popping in etc) and lots of the people Ive chatted to seemed to think it was strange I was applying to work for free and some even a bit suspicious!! Is this normal?
Ive qualified in nvq level 2 beauty therapy and done nvq level 3 gel and acrylic units. Im due to start my level 3 beauty therapy in sept.
Im booked in the next few months to do some waxing courses with kim lawless and am going to book some nsi workshops (when I find a model) to improve my shoddy nail skills.
Im a confident / friendly sort of person who always mucks in , but I do need to improve and am willing to work for free to do so.
I thought doing some voluntary work while at collage was a normal sort of thing?
I literally just want to get better so when I leave collage I can find a salon job. no desire to work for myself (I previously worked for myself in media ...didnt sleep much haha)
Am I mad and/or desperate?
What would you think if I had been applying to u?
Any advice welcome
thanks geeks
