Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

The beauty industry is booming. There may be a credit crunch rolling around but let’s face it, people are still having their nails done, eyebrows threaded and upper lips waxed. Rather than splashing out on expensive trinkets or holidays, people are still treating themselves but in a more low key way.

www.beautyjobsonline.com is a good place to start. You can search for jobs either in the UK or overseas in a wide range of categories. You can also upload your CV for prospective employers to view, and set up an alert for any new vacancies matching your search criteria.

.limarecruitment.co.uk is an agency specialising in beauty and wellbeing recruitment again both in the UK and worldwide, finding jobs for not just therapists and practitioners but also trainers, teachers and salon staff and managers.

It is however a very competitive industry so you really need to make sure your CV stands out from the rest and that the interviewers remember you (for all the right reasons) should you get that far. In this case you may want to take a look at a careers advice website such as www.careersadvice.direct.gov.uk to make sure you are armed and ready when you apply for that job.
