Beauty Consultant at Mary Kay
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Aug 6, 2012
Interview Details – There is no interview. If you think you're the one on the spot, laugh out loud, because more than likely the person trying to recruit you is trying to do just that - recruit, not hire. Think of it like if you had to have an interview before you could get a gym membership. Look pretty, do your makeup, and by the end of your "interview" you'll be signing a new consultant agreement.
Interview Question – The fact that there weren't any questions except, what are you dreams? whats important to you? View Answer
Negotiation Details – You negotiate with yourself for your own salary every time you try to make a sale.

Independent Beauty Consultant at Mary Kay
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in West Melbourne, FL Mar 2009 – Reviewed Apr 9, 2009
Interview Details – I had a one on one interview with a sales director/recruiter. First she gave me a facial and then offered me the opportunity to become an independent beauty consultant. She was bubbly and very nice.
Interview Question – None really they were all simple questions Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I say that they should go for the opportunity to be an independent beauty consultant because you're your own boss and it helps to have that income during these poor economic times.
