Lush, the Freak's Employer

I'm going to apply for a job at Lush today. Lush is probably the one place I know of that will employ me no matter how freaky my hair gets nor how many piercings I have in my face (outside of a tattoo parlour or head shop, maybe). And hey, it's LUSH for fuck's sake. Presents from Lush for all my friends! I thought I'd just try for Cosmetic sales, then I took a good look at my CV; with my legal experience, management of non profit stuff, herbology training and so on, I think I could go for management trainee. It's a bit of a leap, especially as it would mean putting sprog in daycare earlier, but as long as I'm doing the early part-time shift I should be okay. I did ask on their forums whether a single mum had a chance in hell for a job as we usually can only do part time, but I was assured by single mum employees that we single-parents are often more employable, as employers know we really need the work and we're not liable to faff around with sickies. Our fixed hours means we will certainly be in during the appointed time and may also try and pick up more hours if possible. Due to the Chronic Blahs, I don't think I can do full time, but I'll try and work what I can even so. The best part if (WHEN) I get the job is I won't have to look too mundane. There are people in Lush's main office with mohicans. One woman has shaved her hair into an eternity symbol and dyed it blue. My appearance is NOT an issue here. Better still, if I slip at some point and mention Yoruba, or say something which could be construed as kinky or risque, or talk about dancing or fire, or something obviously non-mundane, people aren't going to look at me as if I'm from from another planet. I'm almost working back in herbology again while working for this company - at least my herbal knowledge will help me in any event. I've just done my cover letter - did you know they want coverletters that emphasise the personality and the artist in you? Bring in a typical typed up cover and they look at it politely. Bring in a cover letter which is coated in glitter pen and stickers, and their eyes light up. I actually spent an hour doing a collage cover letter yesterday; great fun! Now, time for me to get in the shower, then I'm off. The worst part of going in will be trying not to walk out with loads of products. I know I'm going to fail in this...I've not given myself any Lush-love in ages. |

The last few weeks have changed you and this blog entry captures it. It flows with positivity. Not some mamby-pamby, la-la-la-la, zippity do da, everything is wonderful naivite........a belief in self and that what we do, say, and think shapes our environment. Beautiful to see you blossom so.
