Hi!
I'm in high school as an art major (idk if this exist in america i'm swiss) and here it's pretty common to do a week in the summer where you go see a job for a week, especially at the end of your cursus.
I wanted to know what would people expect that i send to them for this? A CV ? A portfolio? But a portfolio of what ?
I know i need a cover letter it's obvious but for the rest i wouldn't know what i should include.

So, i wanted to ask the professionals in this field what would you expect from a 17 years old contacting you who wants to discover this job?

Thanks for reading, have a nice day!!

Hi!
For context im 17 and i wanna get into makeup. But my problem is my vitiligo : i have it on my eyebrows and on one side of my face. I'm very very very white, so white that the only time people ask me of my vitiligo is because of my eyebrows or if i spent the summer taning.

I wanna start wearing fondation not to hide vitiligo, but because it's something i restricted myself to use because i thought it would make me one of those bully popular girls. But now i that i grew up i realised that i was wrong and that its something that always interested me so here we are!

My skin is very pale and the difference between the two shades is very very small, but i'm afraid that if i take my non vitiligo shade it would look weird on the vitiligo side, because i'm much more olive toned on the non vitiligo side and very very cool toned in the vitiligo side.
So, how should i proceed? I tried to take a photo but it's more difficult to see than in real life

I don't want to be like this anymore. I want to have a lot if friends, i want to go to parties, i want to feel accepted and included, i want people to look at me not like i'm some alien who stumbled unto earth, i want them to look me like a normal person.

I always try to find some people who would relate, but it was never quite the thing i felt. I don't wish to change in order to become an empty shell of myself, but i want to be perceived as normal.
A few years ago, i had a taste of that normalcy and it felt so good, feeling like a normal person. I had a boyfriend, bestfriends and a good social life. But i ruined it : it wasn't the right time, i was too immature, i was too dumb to recognize my one chance at being normal.

Now that he broken up with me three years ago he took everything with him. The group we were in all left and my ex, who i felt connected with because he was also an outcast, is now living the dream life, my dream life. Meanwhile i'm stuck trying to make friends to survive in school.
He doesn't look down on me, he even has a look of pity sometimes when he sees me alone and i hate it. It makes me feel like some pathetic puppy on the street.

Even if at the time i was with him i was pretty miserable bc i had no self respect, i had that feeling of normalcy that would ground me. Now it's the opposite.

Please if you have any thoughts on how i could improve or relate with my experience generally please i would like to hear it.
