Pammie220 said:thanks everyone for the advice, i guess they are more conservative then i thought so i'll have to be very careful and "creative" with how i list it. i guess i won't be putting in contact information. especially with the name of the club being temptations it doesn't really get more obvious then that.
indo sorry to dissappoint you but i actually don't have big boobs, that wasn't exactly a requirement for working there. the place i delivered wings for before working at the strip club was called wingzone, it's a chain that is i think mostly in the south, really good wings if you ever get a chance to try them
i never thought about this affecting my med school applications when i worked there which my have not been the smartest thing but thinking back to walking out some nights with $500 in tips i don't exactly regret it
What are you talking about? While I do think that it's unfair that she makes $500 in a night where I have to work 80+ hours in a week to make $1000, I sure don't blame her for taking the opportunity to make that kind of cheddar. She can tell them she was a waitress at a New Orleans restaurant/grill. End of story. If the rest of the story isn't even relevant, why mention it? They're not going to ask her "what she learned" by working as a waitress.Masamune4567 said:You worked in a strip club and said you made $500 a night, while some premeds work for minimum wage. Of course it is going to look bad on your application. They are naturally going to ask you what you did/what you learned. Why ask a question you already know the answer to?

You'll tell them that you served drinks at a restaurant/pub/grill/eatery/whathaveyou, and that the job shows your work ethic because you had to work in order to stay in school.Masamune4567 said:If you put down something under work experience, they are naturally going to ask what your responsibilities were and what you learned from it.
So you propose lying at the interview huh? Oh well, it's no different from what I plan to do. Apparently, I've volunteered at an old folks home for 5 years now lol.

You're reading into this way too much. Ever heard of "need to know"?
having a time-intensive job during school doesn't demonstrate work ethic? you're just trolling now. If she doesn't put down that she had a job, they're going to wonder what she did with all of her free time.Masamune4567 said:
Ah yes. The old 'bend the truth' and make what I did sound important.
Kind of like what every other premed who does research tries to do. Most premeds just wash test tubes and/or grunt work and they try to act like they did something special lol.
That answer would make any interviewer roll his eyes. You served drinks and it shows work ethic? (Wheres the I'm with stupid sign when you need it?)

The serving drinks isn't the difficult part, the fact that she held down a job and maintained the focus in her education shows dedication. She's not trying to act like serving drinks is on the lines of curing cancer but it does show character and drive.Masamune4567 said:

sweetrts said:Wow....you obviously have never been a server...probably one of those people who come in and say "thanks you were the best waitress ever" and then generously drop a fat 2 dollars on a 40 dollar bill and expect me to be grateful I'm getting that much.
Waitressing builds character for sure...it's a hard job..you learn how to deal with people, how to multitask, time management...and how to carry a ton of scorching hot plates to ungrateful people like yourself who spout off about things you obviously know nothing about.
I've been waiting tables for the past 3 years full-time while going to school and getting my masters and let me tell you it is HARD WORK. You try going to class and doing research (yes, actual research as in paper being published and cutting edge work in leukemia) from 8-5 and then going straight to work as a server from 6-12am and then coming home to study and write papers and then try telling me how serving doesn't show work ethic.
hoberto said:You said it!
Not only is it hard work but it teaches you to deal with every single type of person you can think of....the wealthy family who can drop 400 dollars on a meal, the little old lady who's trying to keep the bill under 8 bucks, the bum who walked in to use the restroom and then yells and screams in the middle of the dining room probably due to some illness, the people who have seizures at their table, diabetics who go into shock, the list goes on and on. It's fantastic experience and puts you ahead of your classmates when it comes to patient contact, since you'll already have people skills.
