    Sad So depressed and so discouraged

    So I’ve really been having a hard time struggling financially and really wanting to get back into the business. It’s been a little while. I have tried three times now to get hired at Gold Club Chicago. Last year I was rejected the first time, the second time they were only willing to put me on dayshift. I went to their sister club polekatz shortly after. They only wanted me on dayshift too. So I didnt work at either one. So a year goes by and I auditioned again (hoping I’d have a better chance at Gold Club since its not so new anymore.) Rejected. Went to Polekatz the next night. Rejected again.

    literally the ONLY place I can get hired at are the shitty ghetto lingerie bars that arent even really clubs.

    I used to be able to walk into a club and not even have to audition. Id get hired on the spot.

    I admit i put on a little weight and I’m not the thinnest. If anything, more like a Kim k body. Clearly though im lacking something for these clubs because i definitely saw girls bigger than me working there.

    It really depresses me because I don’t know what to do anymore. My last hope would probably be Heavenly Bodies who hire literally anyone but charge up the ass for house fees. I just read another thread that Id posted and a girl got hired the day before I went to Gold Club. This is killing my self esteem :’(

    im wearing outfits that are flattering to my body, working out like crazy, having a great attitude going in... i just dont get it anymore.

    Awww I’m so sorry hun! I’m not in Chicago but sometimes dayshift can be ok. It’s so hard to not let this job get to your self esteem, but just remember that it’s better to try and make some money than nothing. I say try one of the clubs that will hire you even if just for the dayshift, and see if you can make some money. Start with the best club then go to a dive if that doesn’t work...or maybe try another city?

    I'm surprised youre having issues getting hired! From what I can see you look great. I'd either try dayshift or perhaps try another city. Are there any smaller town strip clubs you can try? They tend to be more laid back than big city clubs on hiring

    Some clubs only put new girls on day shift to start regardless of how incredibly beautiful you are, just to see if you can hustle. Usually everyone's wants night shift so they reward the biggest money makers with night shift because that's when more of the bigger spenders come in and they want girls on the floor who can best maximize those customers' spending. It's not like it used to be. Business is slower and stripping is more mainstream so more dancers are saturating the already lower market. Now you have to prove yourself by your sales. Can't just be a pretty face/nice bod anymore.

    Thats a really good point. The thing is, this time, neither one wanted to hire me for either day or night shift. Thats whats got me so down

    Oh gosh no! They are probably the hardest club to get hired at. They are EXTREMELY picky and brutal with their reasons as to why they wont hire you. Unless that manager is now gone, but that manager told me that when I was about to do an amateur night a few years ago

    Thank you sooo much the lingerie bars are pretty slack and not picky so thats why i have luck there i guess lol. I just dont see how one could make money with no VIP area and with how dead they are

    rejection is God’s protection. The market is over saturated.

    I don’t think I’d deal well big city fancy pants guys. I swear everyone of them asks for sex and they won’t buy regular dances. So I hear rumors about girls making stacks in the cities, but it sounds stressful. I would try some smaller clubs outside of the city maybe?

    Chicago is a tough place to dance. A lot of the clubs are picky because they have women walking in every day looking for jobs. I had issues getting hired there when I first started out too, and I wasn't overweight, but I wasn't stick thin with implants like a lot of the clubs there seem to prefer. I agree that some money is better than none. You can always do camming, texting, etc. on the side too if that's feasible for you. Good luck!

    I'm from the Chicago area you could try club 390. When I went there last year for an audition they had me start immediately that night. I personally didn't like it but there were a lot of customers when I went on a Saturday. I want to try polekatz really bad but I'm also afraid of being turned down.

    You are cute. The only suggestion I would make is make sure that you have your nails done maniucure and pedicure is key. (I noticed u didn't have in picture) I went to a club where they wouldn't hire without it. And also when you audition make sure you are smiling at the manager who is auditioning you. Not to much but just seduce him. Look around be sexy flirty and smile. Do not twerk at all! Just sexy dance. If they don't hire you. Then they are just pure assholes or maybe they met there quota or something and have enough dancers who look like you already on their roster.

    Long time reader, first time poster! I made an account just to reply to you since I’m from the area and can understand your frustration! I know you mentioned you don’t have a car but if your ride / vehicle situation changes you should try and head north to On The Border (Club OTB) in Franklin, WI. I’ve been there for nearly 4 years and we are hiring girls especially with your look. You have to work 3 mandatory shifts a week but you get to pick those (days or night). Can’t guarantee the money will be there though especially with the transportation investment but there are places out there girl don’t let Chicago get you down!

    This's a great thread..
    Yes Chicago (& many others areas) is a very tough market, from reading on here, a lot of clubs are hard to get hired in due to, as was stated, oversaturation, fewer customers, & having to prove sales ability.
    Just keep trying, I know it's discouraging, but keep your head up.
    & I'd still try the Admiral, that mgr could be long gone.
    By you not having a car makes it rough too, you've less places to choose from..
    Good Luck!

    Doesn't make any sense, you are beautiful. Go to Pink Monkey or VIPs instead..I'm so confused by this, I've worked in Chicago and they never seemed to be picky with the girls at all. The only reason I can think of is that winter is the slowest season there, maybe they don't have any customers? There's plenty other cities with better business in winter, don't get down though, any club would be lucky to have you.

    I personally hate sitting at salons to get my nails done and I also don't like having my nails done all the time because I'm very low maintenance. Most of the time my nails are cut short without any polish. When I needed my nails to look extra "fancy" I'd get one of those cheapy sets from Walmart or Target. Over the last few years I've slowy started to invest in a nail kit so that I can do my own manicures and tips. Now when I need or want my nails to look extra fancy I watch DYI nail videos on Youtube and do them myself.

    Alrighty, so your gorgeous so I wouldn't know why they aren't hiring you, unless what someone said about making money during the day to prove yourself which makes sense. I work in an itty bitty town with a really clean club in the Bible belt. No alcohol after 1am but we are open until 3am. No contact in any dance and panties must be kept on during couch dances. We are full nude on stage and for table dances. I consistently make $200-$400 because of my personality. I don't make decent money because I sell a bunch of dances I make good money because I'm personable...I make the customer feel important and act interested in whatever it is he wants to talk about. I would assume the same would be true from lingerie bars. I get we're topless for couch dances but we literally can't touch them during ANY dance.

    Hey! It’s funny you mention that because I tried that place out in 2010 or 2011. I made shit money I was a little thinner and had dark hair. I just couldn’t make anything there. It sucked. Thank you though for the suggestion! From where I am it’s about a 3 hour drive though

    Awww thank you! I auditioned at Scores and they didnt hire me. I used to work at the Admiral but wasnt the right fit for it. Now, they only hire girls that literally have a perfect 10 body. Theyre pretty brutal when telling you why they wont hire you.

    thank you so much. you are so sweet! I didnt think I looked THAT bad. Maybe its the outfits im choosing. I don’t know. I have thought of Pink monkey but if Ive been rejected by 3 others that arent even nearly as nice, that kind of kills my confidence
