Craigslist was definitely a really big help again. I only applied to places that I thought I would like to work at. No use in applying to a place that would make you sad unless you really needed the money.
I became really sick of going to facebook, tumblr, and twitter all day long, so I told myself to quit it. I hadn’t checked Craigslist for a job in a while and I got lucky finding the salon I work at now. 12 months ago

How I did it: I'm a member of SalonPost.com and they have several job leads related to the salon/spa industry. I checked their job leads and there weren't many in my immediate area. I'm not a very good driver so I wanted to pick a salon close to home.
I also receive job finding assistance from my old beauty school, Marinello, but none of their recent findings suited me either. Since I live at home free of rent, and am first a college student, and a place in the workforce isn't such a priority, I have the leeway to be picky in where my job is.
In addition to these two sources, I also check craigslist regularly and find some good leads there. I found an assistant job at a really high end salon within my area, but was sadden to see that they were only hiring full time assistants which would conflict with school. Anyway, the five salons I applied to were found on craigslist. I'm planning on doing this again every week until I find a job. Read how I did it… 16 months ago

The week is almost over and I have not been searching for any salons!
I hate excuses, but my reasoning is that I’m still doing salon related type things this week. My friend Adam is working on a short film and I’m the hairstylist/make up artist for the film. We’ll be working on it every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings.
Also with it being the new year, people have had open minds and have been asking me to practice cutting their hair this week. I got six calls this week! I know that to other professionals in the industry, six calls isn’t anything to go crazy about, but usually I’ll have one client a month because of my regulars.
I don’t know. I need to be more professional and work on my business cards/website. 16 months ago
