Product knowledge, yeas of experience, retail experience, qualifications.First I had public speech than doing acrylic nails on my model. I've got several questions on my years of experience on doing nails and retail. They asked me if I'm aware of working a long hours.. After few weeks received emails that I was successful I had pass medical exam, applying American visa, maritime visa. Than I went to London to Steiner and Elemis Academy for training. When you get there you gotta share a room with 3 or 4 people and free diner. Everything else you pay yourself. Trying is every day from 9 am to 4 pm. You must have perfect make up, hair and clean uniform every day ( no washing machine in YMC.. ) You get to your room around six, have you dinner, hand wash your uniform and study for next day exam and that how it is for whole time there every day until you get your ship. Once they tell you they got your ship ready, you're soooo excited for the whole new adventure... And there it all begins. If you get a good ship you can make a good money...
