I want to take a big leap of faith!!

I'm thinking about GOING BACK TO SCHOOL. I want to get a degree in business so that I can start my own salon someday. 💵

The problem is, I'm no spring chicken. Do you think it'll be worth it??

No. Watch / Google Tabitha. She’s the blonde who overhauls sinking salons.

You don’t need a business degree to open a salon: you need to be passionate about hair and style. Know your craft and hire people with degrees.

A hair salon, especially in today’s market with covid, will not pay off the school debt. You’ll get stressed out and end up in a field you’re not passionate about…like an entry level customer service credit card reporting job.

Go in the field you love. The money comes to those who do what the love.

So, open the salon by renting space in someone else’s salon; build your client base; ask to learn the business side of running a salon on your days off.

That’s the path of least resistance; optimal happiness; and fiscal responsibility.

Best of luck.

It’s hard to talk about your own weaknesses, so don’t wait to think about them and answer on the spot…you will likely stumble through without much grace. Thinking about your weaknesses before your interview will help you answer this question with calm and confidence and in a meaningful way that will leave a great impression on the hiring manager 🙌

Just when you’re starting to settle into the #interview, the hiring team asks you, “Tell us about a time you had conflict in the workplace.” 😳

This one is TOUGH! Here are some tips to consider when answering this question: 👉 Everyone has conflict at work - it doesn’t mean a “fight” necessarily - it can be as simple as a disagreement on how to approach a problem. 👉 Own up to your role in the conflict. No one likes a finger-pointer! 👉 Set the stage clearly as to the background for the issue, what was the disagreement, and ultimately if/how it was resolved. 👉 Be sure to end your answer with lessons learned and what you’d do differently next time!

Believe it or not, your motivation for applying for a job can make a big difference on your success in a recruitment process.

Companies want to hire people who truly want to work for them!

And this means having reasons beyond your own basic needs, like pay, commute time, or schedule. Don’t get me wrong, those things are very important, but they typically are important to everyone so they do not set you apart from every other candidate.

Here are 4 tips to answer this interview question really well and stand out from the crowd 🙌

You know when you get to the end of your #interview and the hiring manager asks you, “Do you have any questions for us?” Do you return that with a blank stare 😳 or a “Thanks so much, I don’t have any questions.”?

Asking questions at the end of a job interview DOES make an impression on the hiring team. It can reflect on your interest and enthusiasm for the position, your thoughtfulness and preparedness, and your willingness to take on new challenges (to name a few!).

So, I recommend always preparing some potential questions you can ask at the end of every job interview 🙌

Before you check out 5 questions I love for the end of an interview, here are some tips: 👉 I don’t necessarily recommend asking ALL 5 of these. Pick 2-3 that resonate with you. 👉 Never ask questions just for the sake of it. Prepare questions that you legitimately want to know the answer to! 👉 Ask questions in your own style and language - you don’t need to memorize these word for word, especially if they wouldn’t feel natural to you. 👉 These questions are particularly suited for professional jobs but could be tailored to many other opportunities, even entry level 👍 👉 Lastly (take heart!), you CAN write your questions down and bring them into the interview room with you. You don’t need to memorize everything you wanted to ask 😁

Good luck 🍀 Check out my video below and follow me on TikTok and Jobcase for more career advice 💫 #jobsearch #careeradvice #interviewtips #interviewquestions
