I listened to the automated phone postings for several different locations, and called ahead to the one nearest me. I was scheduled to come in for a verbal interview, and a few days later I was scheduled to bring my model and do makeup on her. A few days after that, I was notified that I had received the position.

Pushy and all about the sale and not about your artistry. I've been a professional makeup artist for 6 years and it didn't matter as they want you to bang out a full face in 30 mins.
