Week 5

Today we answered interview questions based around Ragdale Hall. This was quite helpful because it has helped me learn how I would answer real interview questions. After break we practiced nail painting 

 (either french polish or red), I really need to practice because my painting skills aren't up to scratch. So hopefully with this practice I will improve!

Week 4

My work area

It is now week 4 and today it was my turn to do a trade test. I set up my work area and started my manicure. I had 30 minutes to complete it, and I did! although I finished, my painting wasn't up to professional standards, so I'll have to practice. I got good feedback from Shannon and off of Beth, so overall I am pretty pleased with myself. 

 Week 3

Today we did a trade test first. We got into pairs, one of us was the therapist and the other was the salon owner. Shannon was the therapist and had 30 minutes to complete a manicure, she nearly finished with just one hand left to paint; despite this she did a fantastic job! 

Next we had to update our CV's to 'apply' for a job at the fabulous Ragdale Hall. Writing CV's is seriously helpful because it is giving us more experience in applying for different kind of jobs and how to adapt them to specific places.

 Ragdale Hall

Today has been seriously helpful because it is preparing us for what we will have to do in the future once we have become qualified beauty therapists!

Week 2

Today we have been learning about how to write a CV. It has been very helpful because I have never written my own before and using Reed CV builder made writing one really easy. Reed CV builder breaks each section of writing a CV down which makes it simple and understandable. Hopefully this will help me in the future when applying for jobs and furthering my career.

'My pale skin' by Em ford is a blog for all things pale skin and pale make up related mainly, which is really helpful because I am VERY pale myself. Although there is also posts about lifestyle and self confidence. This blog really stood out to me as the style of writing she uses makes the reader feel as if she is just writing to them. The blog includes lots of make up tutorials which she goes through step by step and making things easy to understand. The self confidence section talks about her self confidence journey and how you can take the first steps on starting yours. Overall 'My pale skin' is a fantastic blog.
