Meaghan said:I am a recent graduate, and now find myself with the
wonderful task of finding a job. My question is, did
people start out working in another clinic with someone,
or did they start out trying to market themselves, and how
successful were they in starting up their own business?
I am also looking for tips, suggestions and warnings to
looking for a job. First interview was more than a
little disappointing, but with 2 more interviews, I have
high hopes.

Hey Meaghan (is it Maygun or Meegun?),
Don't be too picky. Take a little of this and a little of
that. As long as you're doing what you were trained to do
and it's a safe setting, you'll benefit from the variety of
settings and experiences. From the variety you'll find what
you like and what you don't like. You might like high volume
luxury assembly line spa work or you might like sharing a
small place with another MT or you might like having your
own private setting. You won't know until you've tried them.
Based on my experience as a previous employer of 60 staff,
when I had a position available, I didn't care if you were
inexperienced or experienced, as long as you were willing to
learn and to work and didn't come across like some fruitcake
or overbearing jerk, I was more than happy to hire you.
What I needed to know about you from an interview was 1. you
were trained for entry level work and 2. you were trainable
for advanced work and 3. you weren't some weirdo who was
going to disrupt the unity of the team and 4. that you were
dependable and available. In other words, I didn't want to
regret hiring you. Relax and be confident, but not
overbearing. Keep your answers simple, honest,
straightforward.
I don't know if this helps, but they're the thoughts that
came to mind when I read your post.
Good luck,
Ben "the troll" Dover
