QUESTION 20 OF 25

Describe your typical day at work.

Answer example, "Part of what is most fun about being a cosmetologist is that there is no such thing as a typical day! I can be doing anything from gaining new business, working on hair or makeup for a high profile event to transforming a group of teenagers into princesses for their prom!"

What do you expect work to be like from your experience? You may have little on the job experience, but you have a clear understanding of the job description and your education to back you up. You may have a lot of questions about what a typical day would look like at their salon, massage or skincare company, but start with what you know: You'll be on your feet all day. You may need to order products and learn about them. You will need to use your listening and observation skills when doing makeup, hair or performing facials. If you specialize in a particular area, focus on how you strive to enhance the client experience when performing that particular service. Show them you can handle it by demonstrating your understanding and experience as you walk them through your typical day.
