Beauty

To be a rep for a cosmetic brand. Some brands are very hard to get into while some are easier.  You need some cosmetic experience or for skincare they love estetitions and need skincare experience.  The other way is if you know someone with that being said they still like a beauty background. You need to be able to sell with goals and you need to apply product. 

All that being said what I find sad about this buiseness   Is a lot of the time you have some 20 year old who never had a wrinkle selling wrinkle creams.   I hear a lot of BS come out of mouths in past jobs.   

If you really want to be in cosmetics. Macy's and Ulta are great places to start out. Learn your products. So that clients don't return them.   And sell a brand you really like!!!

Cosmetic and skincare jobs are a lot of fun just be prepared for at of petty ,drama filled stuff.   So best advice go to work have fun. Make someone's day by making them feel confident and beautiful about themselves !!  Then just go home.

Thanks for all the congrats!!

Wow! Great Job! Our Ulta just opened two weeks ago, and of I went in on opening day and I heard a gal say she worked strictly for the Lancome Dept. I think that is rather nice, because it seems like in Sephora no one is brand designated, they just sell all brands which is ok, but it is nice in that type of store to find someone who specializes in one brand!!!!! I wish you much success!!!!

Congrats on your new job. It's going to be interesting.

However, I'm puzzled, and maybe you can tell me. How can you sell your business to someone, corp. or otherwise, but still be in "charge." I would think the new owners was in charge & have to be the ones to run the thing.

My sense is when you sell something, like Isaac, you are no longer "in charge," but the face of the company.

I'm wondering if Mally will now be making all products like in the past, or her products will be under the corp. decision and she will be the selling front. TIA.

When a company files for bankruptcy, most of the head honchos remain in place. It depends on the kind of bankruptcy too-- some are restructuring to consolidate debt/expenses and some kinds are outright 'going out of business' never to return again' bankruptcies.

I think this particular bankruptcy was a restructuring.

Thanks, JJ. I searched restructuring to get a full understanding. Not as bad as going out of business, but not a good thing. I like her product and her and hope she can recover.

When the company was up for sale, the sale notices indicated that Mally would negotiate an employment contract to continue being the face of the company. That doesn't sound like she's in charge to me.
