Sit back brew a cup of coffee and read on, here are the questions you should be asking your potential employer….
1. “How will you ensure that this enquiry is kept confidential?”
If you’re currently in a job, and looking to move, you will want to be sure that the process in kept confidential.
At Emphasis we respect your privacy, the meeting can be held after hours or in a neutral location. NOBODY, not even our staff, need to know you are interested, until you decide it’s time. Simply mention that this is a concern of yours and we will proceed accordingly.
2. “What kind of incentive plan do you have? Is
there a limit on how much I can earn?”
We have developed a generous, results based incentive program, where you can earn monetary retail and service bonuses when you achieve your weekly goals. There is no limit on what bonuses you can achieve and all bonuses are paid on a weekly basis, straight into your bank account.
To give you an example: our senior Staff might earn anywhere from $50 to $300 a week in extra bonuses.
3. How will you help me Develop my skills as a Hairdresser?
At Emphasis it’s very important to us that we work with our staff to help them become the best stylists they can be and assist them in achieving their dreams. During your induction as an Employee at Emphasis we will sit down with you to determine what areas you believe you are skilled at, which areas you would like more training in and what your ultimate goals are.
Will I get the opportunity for extra Training?
Many Salon owners might see extra professional training courses as just another unwanted expense. We like to see further training as an investment in the future of our Staff and our Business. We encourage all of our staff to attend many personal and professional training programs and seminars, and will contribute up to $500 per stylist each year towards these.
4. “What other Benefits are there to working in Your Salon?”
At Emphasis you will be given two weeks of Holidays at Christmas, as well as 4 days off over Easter (Yes that’s right, we close Easter Saturday) We also close the Salon early on Melbourne Cup day & the whole team get dressed up and go for Lunch.
- Your 9% Super Will be Paid on Time Quarterly.
- You receive a 25% Discount on personal product purchases.
- You get Your Hair Colour done once a Month for FREE!
- You will be paid for weekly staff meetings – where we recognize personal achievements, dedication and have fun & motivational team building sessions
5. Is the Owner a Hairdresser and do they know what it’s like to run a Hair Salon?
I have been Hairdressing for the past 14 years both in Australia and overseas and have over 7 years experience as a Salon manager and 4 years as a Salon Owner.
So I know how stressful it can be when you’re trying to do your best in the middle of a Busy Saturday morning with three clients on the go. |
