Looking for Beauty Work in London...

[naomi_ralph@hotmail.co.uk]

I moved to South London/Kent area six weeks ago to live with my sister until i get my own place to start a new life and build up my career in Beauty Therapy.
I qualified in July this year in my level 3 and i am finding it impossible to get a job up here as every job adveritsed requires like 2 years or more experience its driving me mad!How are you meant to gain experience if no'one will give you a chance!?
Atm i am working in a retail store in central london the pay isnt great and my travel is costing me an outrageous amount for a job that isnt considered my career path and im really getting stressed about it all so just wondered if anyone has any tips or advice for me before i consider moving back lol!

Thanks :)

When i came out of college with my level 2+3 even if employers said they wanted 2 years experience i acted confident and still applied for jobs and i over a couple of months i had quite a few interviews and ended up working in a lovely Spa in Covent Garden :) so dont give up !!!!

Still no luck all interviews say oi havent had enough experience i am now considering uni to do a make up course i just really want to get a job in beauty as its what i love and want to gain my experience in my career and any other job i take isnt going to do that :(

[ejames@fastmail.co.uk]

may be a complete long shot however i got my first beauty job from hilton hotels and they advertised in the college as quite a few companies do like newbies as they havent picked up bad habits or cut corners so they can guide them a bit might be worth contacting your old college and see if any companies have contacted them.
only problem with doing a make up uni course is that your be in the exact same position about experience i specialise in make up and it was so hard to get into it was crazy i spent years waiting for my break :( keep at. Just send your cv to any salon/spa you know least then they can keep it on there database
hope this helps xxx

Does anyone know of any good recruitment sites for Beauty because at this rate im unlikely to find anything where im located at the moment there just isnt anything and doing other jobs is going to make me lose my skills when its beauty i really wanna do i just want my break now!:(
