PROVIDENCE, RI — Times are tough all over and Rhode Island is no exception. With one of the worst unemployment rates in the United States, job applicants need to think creatively while searching for opportunities. One gentleman’s club in Providence is doing what it can tomorrow to make the search a little more pleasant.Foxy Lady has one location in Providence and two in the state of Massachusetts. Although each club has felt the economy’s pinch, co-owner Tom Tsoumas assures job seekers that “I need more managers. I need more competent staff – and I need more attractive waitresses to go along with the ones I have right now.”
The exact number associated with “more” is in the neighborhood of 30, ranging from dancers to bartenders and including DJs, managers and bartenders.
In order to fill all of the available positions, potentially with applicants who have never before seriously considered working at a club with adult entertainment, the Foxy Lady is hosting a job fair this Saturday, March 21st.
“So many people in Rhode Island have been hit hard by the economy that we wanted to do our part,” club manager Bob Travisono told the Associated Press, adding for CNN that “We are looking for a diamond in the rough.”
Applicants hoping to escape the state’s 10.5-percent (and city’s 11.5-percent) unemployment pool are encouraged to arrive with a resume and be prepared to fill out a short questionnaire. Travisono anticipates a large crowd for the company’s job fair, based on telephone inquiries.
Known for its “Legs and Eggs” Friday breakfast, the chain is well-known within southern New England and has begun attracting the patronage of rock stars and pro athletes. Although slowing slightly, Travisono assures that business at Foxy Lady “is doing very well” even during these troubled economic times.
