Keep in mind as you begin to cultivate into the young professional you’re in school to become, that you are </span><em>always </em><span>being formal in your communication to and with potential employers. It is important to always be portraying yourself as a mature professional in all aspects because you never know who is watching or who you may come in contact with! Form all emails as you would a formal letter, no matter how you are corresponded with. It is a great practice to start and will be how you stand out among others.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>2.</span><span>       </span><strong>Start looking for ‘what’s next’ early: </strong><span>You can never start too early. Always staying a step ahead of yourself is a great way to being your professional career. Our students at AIDM are strongly encouraged to get into the industry as soon as possible! If working part time as a guest coordinator or beauty advisor isn’t an option, volunteer at events, get involved in student competitions, do as much in the industry as possible to build up that resume and gain confidence in the field. Potential employers love to see that in a team member.</span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>3.</span><span>       </span><strong>Clean up your internet/social media image: </strong><span>Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr are all great outlets to express ones artistic and creative endeavors. BE CAREFUL. It is public ground, and I promise that most all employers will search for you when you are going through that interview process. You may be a rockstar at interviewing, but they want to know what you’re </span><em>really</em><span> like. </span><span> </span><span>Take time to censor your photos, set your privacy settings and make sure what others see of you is appropriate and professional.</span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>4.</span><span>       </span><strong>Practice makes perfect: </strong><span>Interviewing can be uncomfortable and nerve-wracking. One way to avoid interview pitfalls and slipups is to practice! Being prepared for certain questions and knowing how to think on your feet can be a learned talent. The more prepared you are the more relaxed you will feel and the better experience it will be for the potential employer and you!</span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>5.</span><span>       </span><strong>Be patient:</strong><span> Remember that most of you will be applying/interviewing for your first job outside of school, it is important to be patient. Remember- no job is beneath you. Take what you can from every experience! David Wagner did not get to where he is today overnight! He parked cars (after completing his education) for clients under Horst Rechelbacher for a good amount of time before he started taking his own clients. And his own words he “parked cars better than anyone else.” Be the </span><em>best</em><span> at whatever it is you’re doing. People will take notice, and you’ll be on your way to your dream job. Just give it time, and learn everything you can at your current position.</span></p></p>http://aveda-institute-desmoines.tumblr.com/post/52872442394http://aveda-institute-desmoines.tumblr.com/post/52872442394Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:42:54 -0500professionalismcareerbeauty schoolBeauty IndustryavedaAveda Instituteavedainstitutedesmoineshorst rechelbacherdavid wagner<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/23a99e3897b89d5e32688a637fefa2c6/tumblr_moav5kLcfU1rrm9pno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Afraid of getting highlights this summer because you don’t want to look washed-out?

One great way to get around it is to embrace your hair&#8217;s natural wave or straight look. Once you embrace it, you&#8217;ve won half the battle!</p> <p>2. <strong>If you&#8217;re a curly-haired girl- Make friends with Aveda&#8217;s Brilliant Anti-Humectant. </strong>Just a little of this product goes a long way in those curly locks. Keep the humid air at bay with this product and keep your curls frizz-free.</p> <p>3. <strong>If you love to keep your tresses smooth and straight- </strong> try using Aveda&#8217;s Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother. It keeps your hair smooth and sleek for up to 12 hours, adds shine and keeps your hair in line.</p> <p>4. <strong>For you pool lovers- </strong>Aveda&#8217;s Brilliant Damage Control both acts as a detangler after a dip in the chlorine, and also protects your hair before styling. </p> <p>5. <strong>Don&#8217;t let your time in the sun fade that gorgeous color! </strong>Aveda&#8217;s Color Conserve line has a number of products that fight fading and promote vibrant, lasting color.</p> <p>Now that you&#8217;re prepared, bring on summer!</p>http://aveda-institute-desmoines.tumblr.com/post/52739534298http://aveda-institute-desmoines.tumblr.com/post/52739534298Tue, 11 Jun 2013 16:54:10 -0500summeravedaAveda Instituteavedainstitutedesmoineshumiditycurly hairstraight hairhairbeauty products<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/16db3f59dbb4f3948cfd1c0dcf464367/tumblr_mo8x5fXyQE1rrm9pno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Which summer hair style best suits you? </span><br/><span>A.
