Interview Details –
Part 1 Interview: Dress Business Professional and be prepared to perform a 20-25 demonstration. (Bring your massage clothes to change into- make sure it is conservative- no low cut tops, shorts, or whatever casual thing you may massage your personal clients with) BW is a professional and conservative company.
BE CAMTC certified or in the process of that you can prove.... If you are considered, they will contact the references you provide.
Part 2: Interview at the location you will be hired at....dress professionally as well. Usually no demo since the recruiter tested you out.
Both interviews ask the basic... why did you become a MT, what courses, where have you worked previous etc... BW will give new MT a chance so don't not apply because you don't have spa experience. It is about how you present yourself and what you are willing to learn.
BW does do therapeutic work but you will be expected to "enhance" your guest and there are quotas. So keep in mind you will have to come to terms with being ok on selling/upgrading to specific spa treatments to techniques such as from a swedish to a DT etc...
If you are hired.... you will go through their training in the corporate office. Make sure you can afford or save some money for it. The training is nearly full-time for about 4 weeks at minimum wage. Approx. 6 to 6.5 hours 5 days a week in Culver City, CA... it can be a hit to your income but if this is the place you want to be then just do it but I think that people should really think about this portion of it prior to applying so you can be financially prepared.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details – N/A- BW pay is based on commission plus a "point" scale or minimum wage... which ever is higher at the end of your shift... this is pretty standard in regards to commission vs. minimum wage if you have a slow night.... but it will be explained during the interview.....
