I did a really stupid thing to start out with. I told my boss at the playpen to go fuck herself and walked out. I was thinking of trying to find another job, but I had nothing lined up.
So after a frantic week of auditions, where I got turned down at all the clubs I wanted, I found a job in a cute little club in Gary, Indiana. I like the staff, I like the policies, etc.
The one thing I don't like is the complete and total lack of customers! I have made almost NO $$ there. Of 3 nights I made $90, $50, and $20. On all the nights except the $20 night, I was one of the top 3 earners. We also have a drink hustle, and on 2 of the 3 nights, none of the girls made thier quota!
I am at a loss as to what to do! I can't afford to keep working there. My old boss called me to offer me my old job back, but if I go back there I will be miserable, but I will be putting food on the table. There are a few good things about my old job (hours, flexibility, pretty consistent earnings, established regulars) and a few horrible things (grabby custys, skanky chicks, dusgusting drunks, I have pissed off quite a few of the regulars, and the worst part: no stage).
So in short, I can't get hired at one of the good clubs; I can't afford to stay where I am, and I don't want to go back to my old job. Talk about stuck!
I am thinking about going back to the dive so I can pay some bills and buy some groceries, and making another round of auditons when we come back from vacation.
So, some questions for you guys:
ANy advice, anybody???
- when is the best time of year to audition?
- What do I say when they ask if I have applied there before? They will figure out that I failed to get hired before, and probably won't want to hire me then.
- Besided losing more weight and getting in better shape, what else can I do to make myself more likely to get hired? I don't think the problem is my dancing; I usually don't even get to an audition before getting shot down.
