I had my audition today and I got hired!!! ;D
The story's below... if you read the ExoticDancer livejournal then you've already seen it...
My "audition" was so totally easy. I went in, waited at the bar for the manager (he was really nice)... another girl was waiting too... she seemed terrified, and she didn't have a bag with clothes/shoes with her... I guess she didn't get the gown memo. So the manager took us both up to the office, asked us if we had any dancing experience. Let me just tell you that I will be forever grateful for my go-go job because it totally saved my ass!!! The other girl had no experience dancing on stage (lots of years of dance classes but nobody gives a crap about that), the manager visibly rolled his eyes when she said that, then I told him that I danced cage and go-go. He looked at the other girl and told her that they usually only hired girls with experience, "Like her" he said pointing at me. He had her fill out an application and he took a polaroid of her and told her that if she didn't hear back in 5 days then the owner hadn't liked her picture. As soon as she was gone he shredded her application. He then got on the walkie-talkie and told the bouncer not to send up any more girls without experience unless they were "totally gorgeous". (!!!) Now, I'm sure new girls reading this shouldn't panic, I should mention that I'm in Chicago and was auditioning for a club downtown, smaller cities/towns/suburbs might not be so harsh. I'm sure they just see a REALLY high volume of girls.
So anyway, I filled out my application and we made small-talk. Once that was done he took my picture and then asked me if I had any tattoos. I showed him the little one I have on my ass and that seemed small and out-of-the-way enough to not be a problem. He then asked if I had shoes and a dress. I showed him my shoes and my gown and he said, "great". Then he flatly asked me to take off my top, (which I did) then put that back on and take off my bottoms (which I also did)... this was all done in a professional, not-sleazy manner. He said "perfect" each time and then sat me down, told me the rules of the house, the features of the club, etc, and put me on the schedule for Sat. night. Yeah, that's right, I totally didn't have to do a formal audition, he just wrote me in for a full Sat. night shift... which I suppose is a trial by fire but I'm so ready for it!
I couldn't be more excited. Seriously, starting on a Sat. night's going to be exactly the type of busy atmosphere that I'm used to at clubs so it'll be wonderful. I won't have *time* to get nervous! I'm just super-excited! The management is really nice, the bouncers are cool, the girls seem nice, and the club rules/features are set up in a great way that basically doesn't make the girls have to do really nasty shit to make $, in fact, most things that set apart raunchy clubs from classy ones (like grinding during couch dances and spreading while nude during stage shows) are against the house rules. So yes, I think this will most-definitely work out!
