You can set up additional displays with your Mac in several ways. You can make all of your displays mirror each other, or extend your workspace with different apps and windows on each display. If you use an external display with your Mac notebook, you can also use closed-display mode.

Check your requirements

• Check the ports on your Mac and see if you need an adapter.
• Check how many displays your Mac supports: Choose Apple () menu > About This Mac > Support, then click Specifications. On the web page that appears, the number of displays your Mac supports appears under Video Support.

Use extended desktop mode

Maximize your workspace with extended desktop mode, which lets you enjoy full-screen apps and windows on each monitor. Then, use Mission Control to organize apps and windows across your displays. If your Dock is on the bottom of your screen, it appears on any of your displays when you move your pointer to the bottom edge of your display.

Turn on extended desktop mode

1. Make sure that your external display is powered on and connected to your Mac.
2. Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Displays.
3. Select the Arrangement tab.
4. Make sure that the Mirror Displays checkbox isn’t selected.

Arrange your displays or change your primary display

So that you can move apps and windows across your displays in one continuous motion, arrange your displays to match the setup on your desk. You can also change your primary display, which is where your desktop icons and app windows first appear. Here's how:

1. Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Displays.
2. Select the Arrangement tab.
3. Arrange your displays or change the primary display:
   • To arrange your displays, drag one of the displays where you want it. A red border appears around your display as you arrange it.
   • To change your primary display, drag the white bar to another display.

Use video mirroring

With video mirroring, all of your displays show the same apps and windows.

Turn on video mirroring

1. Make sure that your external display is powered on and connected to your Mac.
2. Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then select the Arrangement tab.
3. Make sure that the Mirror Displays checkbox is selected.

Use AirPlay

With Apple TV, you can mirror the entire display of your Mac to your TV or use your TV as a separate display. To turn on AirPlay, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that your TV is powered on.
2. Choose in the menu bar*, then choose your Apple TV. If an AirPlay passcode appears on your TV screen, enter the passcode on your Mac.
3. Mirror your display or use your TV as a separate display:
   • To mirror your display, choose , then choose Mirror Built-in Display.
   • To use your TV as a separate display, choose , then choose Use As Separate Display.
4. To turn off AirPlay, choose , then choose Turn AirPlay Off.

* If you don't see in the menu bar, choose Apple () menu > Displays, then select the 'Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available' checkbox.

Many QC Students would love to one day work for a big makeup brand like MAC Cosmetics or Sephora. But the idea of even applying for these jobs can be super stressful for some people!

In her latest video, Jamie Smith explains how she landed a job as a MAC Makeup Artist. Learn what the interview process is like and how you can make sure you present yourself correctly to get the job!

The Interview Process

Jamie mentions there are three separate interviews she went through after having applied for the job.

1: In-Person Interview

First, she met face-to-face with an interviewer to go over her resume and talk about opportunities. This was very similar to any other job interview for a retail-type position.

Retail skills matter!

Though you’re applying for a makeup artist job, the reality is when you work at MAC, Sephora or any other makeup retail location, you’re expected to not only be an exceptional makeup artist, but also to be able to sell their products. So retail experience, or at least good customer service experience, is a real asset!

2: The Makeup Trial

This is where you’ll show off your skills as a makeup artist. You’ll arrive with a model and you’ll be asked to apply several looks to that model.

During the trial, be sure you treat your model as if they’re a MAC customer you’ve never met. You’ll be evaluated on more than just your skills, but your abilities to interact with customers, make them feel comfortable, and sell MAC products all at the same time!

3: In-Store Interview

Jamie’s third interview was with the manager of the actual MAC store where she was going to work. During this interview, you’ll want to make sure you present yourself with in-style makeup that both show off your skills and confirm that you are aware of the latest makeup trends. Of course, your interpersonal skills will be evaluated here as well!
