I have been on the job hunt ever since I graduated school in December. I went to a salon in Sheboygan and had one interview. It went well and they proceeded to invite me back to do a practical interview. i had heard of some salons requesting this but had not experienced it yet.
The actual interview was on a Wednesday, I think, and the following Tuesday was my practical. I brought a model and all my stuff and showed up early, like usual. the manager looked at me i had to ask where to set up, she commented on me being very organized, and that was pretty much the last thing I heard from her until I was finished with my models hair. I was there for two hours!
They got busy at the salon and toke very little notice to me. I don't understand why you wouldn't block time to at least view my skills, you asked me to come in and use, rather than just see the end product. The end looked good, don't get me wrong, but if that is all they wanted to see they could have just looked at my portfolio.
I'm glad I got the opportunity and hope I get the job, but I am curious to see if i have to go through this again to see if it is the same. Maybe they have a reason, maybe to keep out of my way at that time, but I think if I was conducting the inteview I would do it differently. Sometimes, I think people don't put enough actual thought into who they hire. ( not just limited to this situation)
