    Default strip club in my resume

    I'm applying for a job right now where I'm putting my sc experience on my resume. It's a sales job for a local alt. newspaper, focusing entirely on the adult services ads. So, along with four years of administrative/office and p.r. work, I should be perfect for this job!

    This is what my resume says so far. I'm still trying to find a way to refine it to highlight its compatibility with the requirements of this position. Suggestions?

    [CLUB NAME AND DATES].
    Demonstrated consistently high volume sales in competitive environment. Excellent history of establishing and maintaining customer history and relationships. Performed punctually and according to club guidelines. Also developed and maintained a strong network of client contacts for the adult services industry.

    ..for instance, I shouldn't use the word 'maintain' twice. Hmmm

    Sounds very business-like to me. Sometimes putting in a quantifier (number) can help. I hope it works for you. Maybe something about setting or keeping ethical standards too.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    You could use 'held' instead of one of the maintains. Also make sure you include a cover letter to address the job itself and demonstrate why you are perfect for the position. Having the manager of the club provide a reference or be a referee will also assist to reaffirm your resume.
    Good luck.
    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    lol I saw that ad and thought about applying for it, since I'm an english major and in the adult industry, but decided not to.

    I say hell yea put that you're a dancer- it's portland!! The way you worded it sounds extremely professional and sales-oriented.

    I hope you get the job!

    This was off-putting to me: "Performed punctually and according to club guidelines." It's the sort of thing that should go without saying (I showed up on time and followed the rules).

    I rephrased a little, made some minor corrections, and used parallel sentence structure to tie it together more:

    Demonstrated consistently high-volume sales in a competitive environment. Established an excellent history of building and maintaining customer relationships. Performed on a consistent schedule that cultivated a reliable client base. Developed a strong network of client contacts in the adult entertainment industry.
