Licensed and never worked as an Etsy
I have had my license for 4 years and for various reasons have not had a job as an Etsy yet. When I started looking about a year after I graduated I took a refresher course at the Dermal Institute, which was excellent however since then I have not worked in the field or taken additional classes. Because I have been out of school for so long and never worked No One wants to hire me. I now work for a dermatologist (patient registration) but I still want to be an Etsy. Any suggestions for how to get my foot in the door at this stage?

Hi,
I'm in the same boat as you, trying to find a way back into the industry. I've had my license for about 2 years, and actually worked at 2 small spas for about 4 months. I didn't stick with those places though i probably should've "paid my dues". i've just been doing office work and feel worried that i'll never make it as an esty. This morning i was even checking out the classes at IDI since i need a refresher on lots of things. Good luck! I'll keep an eye on this post.

Hello, I'm just like you.
I put an ad in a facebook group for free waxing, to restore confidence ... now I want to do home services during summer ..
I hope to retake courses to update myself and find a job in the fall.
just keep looking! good luck

It sounds to me like your foot is already IN the door - you're working ato a dermatology office. I'd speak to your boss about what it would take to get you into doing services. They may be afraid to lose a good office workwe, so be prepared to help them recruit and interview and train your front office replacement. Show them you are a team player but that they can get more value from your skill set by having you do services. Another good thing to do is attend a trade show - you can get a lot of certificates of completion for the manufacturer sponspred classes in a short period of time.

Don't forget, as a derm office employee, you also have direct access to product and equipment reps, who have access in a wide range of offices. They're a great resource for not only education but also connections, especially if they see you as being a potentially high-selling esthetician who would help generate large orders either in your current office or another office they might know of that is looking for an esthetician. In summary, the most important thing is to think about people's motivations and figure out what you have to offer that gets them closer to their goals. That's when people are willing to go out on a limb and help hook you up.
