How Do I Get My First Break in Aesthetics?

Hi everyone,

I would really appreciate some advice from experienced aestheticians and clinic owners in Dubai.

I am a newly qualified aesthetician with certifications in Beauty Therapy and Laser treatments, but I come from a completely different professional background and have no prior experience in the aesthetics industry.

Over the past few months, I have sent hundreds of emails with my CV to clinics and aesthetic centers, but unfortunately I have received very few responses. I am passionate about skincare, eager to learn, and willing to start from an entry-level position to gain hands-on experience.

For those who successfully entered the industry without previous experience:

• How did you get your first opportunity?
• What helped you stand out to employers?
• Should I focus more on networking, internships, shadowing, or additional certifications?
• Are there specific strategies that worked for you when applying for jobs?

Any guidance, advice, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support.🙏🏼
