I would really appreciate some suggestions for roles that I should be applying for. I recently started my MBA though I'm still having trouble landing interviews and think I should be applying for different roles than I have been. My MBA concentration is global business, my BS was in management with a minor in professional writing. I've been working in cosmetics mainly on the customer service side, currently senior support for the CS team and have experience doing CS on social media.

What are your interests? It sounds like, with your background, education and experience, you'd have plenty of options. I think figuring out what type of work you'd find most fulfilling is the first step.

I'm interested in central ops as well as content/social media mgmt and would prefer to stay in cosmetics; however, I think my lack of relevant work experience is making it challenging. Any suggestions for key words to search for a somewhat entry level job like this would be greatly appreciated.

Would you be open to working within large companies like Loreal and Mac?

I've tried applying for mgmt roles for Sephora and Loreal but haven't heard back. I think I need to be using different key words in my searches for positions. Any recommendations for somewhat entry level roles would be greatly appreciated.

The new team seems to like me and I’m being fast tracked through the process (only 2 interviews instead of 3 and all within a week).
