    Default What The Hell

    So, I posted my giddy "oh my God I got hired!" post yesterday, and I called back today as the housemom told me to do to get my scheduling done, and the other woman went to check my file and told me "It says you're not hired." I thought I'd heard wrong so I said..."Oh...I don't...think that's possible. The lady I auditioned for last night told me that I was great and could work three shifts a week, and to call you!" The woman said "There's nothing else on the note, so I don't know why it says that...call me back tomorrow."

    Of course, I couldn't wait, since I was having a complete meltdown while at work, so I called back, and this time she said, "Honestly, we tell all girls they're hired until they leave the building. It's because we're such bad liars and you can tell in our faces when we're lying. Housemoms don't even have hiring/firing power." Then she said, "The note says 'Never danced before,' so it's probably because you're not experienced. Go work somewhere else and call back in a couple of weeks."

    WHAT? I don't know if that's industry standard, but that seems incredibly unprofessional and cruel to me. I would so much rather have gotten an honest, "We'll let you know tomorrow," or even an immediate "You're not hired because you're too _____" than a definite "Yes" which was actually a complete lie.

    I'm going to go audition elsewhere tonight but I was really shocked at the way the ladies handled my situation. I mean, all they needed to say was "You need a little work on your dancing," or "We don't really need any inexperienced girls right now"...telling me "You looked great up there, you're hired" seems ridiculous if it's untrue!

    In this business getting a straight answer out of management is rarely going to happen and you will finally know the times when they say that you are hired actually means you are hired.

    Club managers, owners, door people, all staff in general lie.

    Don't take it personally, it's hard not to at first I know. But if you want to work there get up onstage somewhere else and go audition again. Another thing I did (actually as more of a 'refresher') was go into clubs as a patron and check out the dancers and get dances, etc - you can learn a lot.

    Yea, it does sound incredibly unprofessional. But, my question is this. Is the above quote about being bad liars during the hiring process the Manager who hired you or the housemom??

    Well, it seems there are two housemoms. I auditioned for one yesterday, and she was very sweet and seemed pretty confident that I was fine/ready (like, she didn't seem like she was lying, and seemed pleased), and then the one who I spoke to on the phone. I think they might switch days or something. The manager is apparently a man, and when I asked if I could speak to him (not to complain or anything, just to ask if he'd give a new girl a chance or if there's anything I could do better), the one on the phone cut me off and said, "Uh, no, you can't talk to him."

    I'd expect this from a crappy place with bad management, but this club is pretty famous and a lot of people say it's great...it's confusing.

    Well... Remember i said it wouldn't be easy? Here's a test of your mettle. Is there another club you can work at? And don't be embarassed to wait a month and lie just like they did and say you were working in the next state for a month and go back and audition again. If/when they need girls you will get in. Never take that bs personally.
    But... if you do have some things to work on -then start working on them. If you're a little heavy start working on it ect. Or go in as a customer somewhere and observe and ask for honest opinions. (still hard to come by)
    Let us know what happens.
    Good luck.
    Ok. I didn't read the last post too well. If the place is pretty famous they will be less tolerant of a "less than knockout" girl starting. There are some upscale clubs that are VERY selective. Don't feel bad. There is a club for everyone almost.

    Listen, if you really wanna get in to talk to the HIRING manager do this (works everytime)

    Her: The Strip Club
    You: Hey, this is Ck, lemme speak to the manager real quick. Which one is working today?
    Her: Oh, it's Jim..or whatever.

    I think this works because it sounds AS IF you are already working there. This always works for me when I call clubs. If that doesn't work, hang up...they'll never know it was you anyway.

    Oh, and I've never heard of doing an audition for a housemom. Is that customary where you gals work at?

    i would just get used to that now. there are more unprofessional people working in strip clubs than professional ones.

    They are bad liars..but they lie to girls every day by telling them they are hired whether they are or not?? That doesnt even make sense.

    I'd call and ask to talk to the manager. Or even better...find out when he's there and go in and ask for him. Ask ONLY for him...dont talk to anyone else. He;s the only one that matters.

    Other then that...try somewhere else.

    And yeah..get used to people being unprofessional. And stupid and rude and....well...expect ANYTHING

    Mmmm....HUGE red flag right there, girl.
    Look how much drama has occurred and you don't even work there yet!

    I mean I'd hate for you to pass up a good money making opportunity, but just take note of that BIG red flag.
    The place sounds very disorganized and has pretty shitty ethics.

    Yup, I think Cherry Bomb is right, you might not want to work for a place like that anyway. It seems very unprofesional, and though I know lots of places are unprofesional in this biz I've never heard of anything like this before...Good luck finding something else!!
