Does anyone have advice about listing work at a gentlemen's club on a resume?

I am helping someone at my job try to find a new job in the hospitality industry (hotel or reception type work), and she has 12 years at a gentlemen's club as a champagne girl. It's too long of a time period to leave off of her resume. How should it be tactfully listed so as not to dampen her employment possbilities?Does anyone have advice about listing work at a gentlemen's club on a resume?
Community Relations Specialist.





Okay, they are going to ask and then know what the job was! But, being honest and open about the job helps to show that she is an honest person. They may chuckle at her choice of words! Remember, even a garbage collector is called a Sanitation Engineer!





The one thing I would not tell them is if she took her clothes off! Lying is not good at a job interview but this could be the one thing they don't tolerate. Tell her not to offer any details unless she is asked specific questions.





Also, make sure she looks very ';un-champagne girl'; at the interview: dark blue suit, no plunging neckline, hair and makeup conservative, low heels. I hired an ex-stripper as my receptionist because she had the skills and looked very professional at the interview and the job! Good luck!Does anyone have advice about listing work at a gentlemen's club on a resume?
I agree with Krissy T about the problem. It could also be a Public Relations Specialist. Besides if an employer is looking for a good worker they are going to look at employment record like attendance.

you dont put that on there!!!!!!!!!!! are you crazy????? say shes a house wife raising children or not raising children but just a house wife
Just list the name of the establishment, her occupation as server, and tactfully explain her job duties. As long as she wasn't an entertainer, this isn't that big of a deal.
She can't lie about it - she'll need to list it since it was 12 years long, so just word her job duties in a neutral and professional way and list any accomplishments or improvements she made while working there.
is that like a waitress? the champagne girl thingy? ....if so they write down the gentlemans club name and as ';position'; write ';waitress or cocktail server'; if she was a dancer, i really dont know what to tell you....
Thats a tough one. I personally wouldn't put it on there, as employers really look down on that type of work. Is there a way to say she waitressed? But even that I dont think would help.
Name your supervisor instead of club name,


put entertainment as job title...
If she served champaigne, ';waitress'; or ';drink specialist'; would be good... For a dancer... ';entertainment provider';???





I don't know
