New Work Experience Opportunities

Some of you may have read my post last week about 'how not to get employed'. I've had some rather amusing applications and replies to interview invitations even since writing it only a few days ago. Still, I maintain the ideal that there are still people out there willing to work hard and who are hungry for learning experiences, and I'm going to put my own time and effort where my mouth is!

Therefore I've decided to offer a work experience Saturday placement for a 16-18 year old looking to gain experience, learn about the world of work and vintage styling. This person will have direct access to myself and my Management team with the opportunity for training in vintage hair and makeup, styling for photo shoots, salon operations, team work, customer service, sales and general working practises. And most importantly there will be a paid job at the end of it, providing the student shows all the competences required for the job. This is an opportunity for anyone with or without relevant skills who can demonstrate a willingness to learn, work hard and contribute as part of a team.

The last time we offered a placement like this was a huge success for both us and our work experience student. Lily started with us at a young age shadowing our stylists and training in all the skills required to become a part of our paid team. After showing great promise and quickly learning, she is now a fully paid member of our team working most Saturdays in our salon in Birmingham. She has developed exceptional skills in vintage hair styling and customer service, all as a direct result of her own efforts... we couldn't be prouder.

The successful person for this placement opportunity will be expected to conduct their work experience placement most Saturdays from around 10am to 6pm with a break for lunch.

So do you think you have what it takes be become one of our Birmingham salon team? Take a look at our website at www.lekeuxvintagesalon.co.uk and apply for our work experience placement by emailing info@lekeuxevents.co.uk with a cover letter detailing why you'd like this opportunity.

I am passionate about rewarding young people with opportunities and skills, I owe a lot to work experience and part time jobs from the age of 14 right through university. I really hope we can cultivate another Lily for our team!
