Is the job market in South Florida that TERRIBLE?

I graduated and got my license two months ago, I had some interviews but ALL were a no go, I guess no one is reading that I am a recently graduate based on the question they asked me even though I have structured my resume to show that I am new.

I keep hearing season is coming soon, but I have not seen anything to reflect that online. I tried Ulta which pushes you to apply online, and I see they post all the time they are hiring and never got a call.

I can't spend money on hands on training for additional training when I don't have a job. I do take complimentary classes from IDI that are more lectures.

I only have applied via craigslist and Indeed.

I love doing eyebrows and had two regulars that I do complimentary services so that I don't lose my skills.

I wanted to market my eyebrow services to a salon but I don't have money to be a booth rental so I don't what to do, so frustrated.

Have you tried European Wax Center? How about Essentials Massage and Spa and Massage Envy or Hand and Stone Massage? Franchises are more willing to hire newbies. If it's of any use, I do offer free workshops sometimes, and I hold an Aesthetician's Power Lunch Hour the last Monday of each month in Tampa. www.IHTA.info

We don't have a Essentials Massage in Palm Beach County and I applied 3 times to Hand & Stones, at first I thought it was different location and then I noticed looking through my old emails and saw that I applied twice to the same location, and I am surprised I never heard back because past student from my school were hired because they use Dermalogica and so did our school. EWC is a last resort, I spoke to one of the locations but the training was in Miami. Funny thing was a spa that is know world wide had me go through the interview process only to get a call they were looking for someone with experience because of their clientele, that is why I am wondering if these people READ.

How far are you from Boca Raton? Did you find a position yet?

I am close to Boynton Beach. I found something in the end of Oct but the problem is I was there twice to shadow her work (she does brows) then she had me bring some people in so she can see what I've knew) then there was a family situation, then she got busy with free lance makeup work on top of her clients at the salon, so she said we will talk about Thanksgiving, and now we are supposed to resume training in Jan, its only going to be part time but I do not have a set schedule so I am looking to add another position.
