GET HIRED!

I got my email about 2 weeks later and it said I passed the interview.  I was in my kitchen and almost my entire family was home.  I had just finished a very long day at my job at a Flower warehouse.  I could see everything changing!

The didn't waste any time either.  In the email they asked when I would be available to come to the London Training Academy and confirmed they would be sending me the infamous "Steiner Training Pack".  That was the next step.

I gave my soonest date and waited for the Training Pack.  It took 7-10 day to arrive from England and inside there was so much information!  All the fees were broken down for me, contract lengths, and commissions.  There were maps and advice on how to get to the Watford YMCA from the airport and tips on what to pack.

Also enclosed was a CD with Elemis products.  I'm sure the just transfer everything via email now.  I began studying my product and memorizing the ingredients...

I couldn't wait to start!

Summarized Steiner Interview

In short simplified form:


  • You will pay for everything to attend the interview and will not be reimbursed.
  • You may have to travel quite far.  Interviews are only held in select large cities.  Usually at a Steiner Family of Schools' location.  If you are already attending one of these schools- you may be lucky enough to have a recruitment happen while you are attending.
  • Bring all necessary paperwork; resume, licenses/certificates, Passport (you will need a passport while working on board- 100% necessary).
  • Dress to impress.  Business casual.  A business suit is ideal but you must still be comfortable enough to perform your practical (hands-on interview)
  • Leave early for the interview, being late is unacceptable and they will note it.
  • There will be a seminar first, then a practical.  
  • Be confident and pleasant!
