Hi everyone
I’ve recently finished college and within this time I have been job hunting, I sent off 6 different applications for beauty and spa therapy jobs and heard back from 4 getting interviews.
I got 2 offers in the end, one in a hotel spa which I worked a week there before being let go, and then accepted the other offer at a high end well-being and holistic retreat which was right up my street and the most amazing place I had ever stepped foot in. It was small with only 5 other therapists there, I expressed my concerns that I had just come from college and was feeling a bit nervous starting on ‘proper’ clients as due to the pandemic we haven’t really had the whole client experience for the past 2 years. Anyway, the night I got home from my second day there I had a phone call from the spa manager to say that I needed more experience and they were going to let me go.
Now I’ve applied for a couple more jobs on Indeed and have heard nothing back yet, feeling a bit knocked and just unsure what to do with myself to be honest.
The real question is how are you meant to get experience if nobody is willing to give you a chance?
