I had a very last minute interview yesterday with a Canadian women's clothing company and I couldn't believe their disgusting practices. Here is what I remember: -hair and makeup must be done and must fit the brand's image. Hair must be “professional” looking. -employees are to wear clothing only from the brand and this includes accessories and you must wear accessories. Employee discount is only 50% and to get an idea of how expensive clothes are at this brand, a sleeveless top is $60, a t-shirt is $80, sweatpants $80, a cardigan $200…you get the idea. -If you wear denim, it cannot be from other brands.

I’ve been currently looking for a new job, I work as a bar manager, and I’ve been hoping to transition to sales of beer/wine/spirits. A natural change, with a 9-5 schedule, most weekends off; all of which are things I don’t have now. This week, I asked a rep if they had any positions open, because I was “considering” a change. Well that rep happened to know the owner of my bars sister. Then said sister called and informed my bar’s owner I was inquiring about jobs. Rewind 4-5 months ago: I had an interview for a sales gig with a local distributor, fast forward to present: the owner of the bar I work at called that distributor asking if I had talked with them about a job. The distributor answers truthfully, and says yeah we interviewed him, he’s been looking for a while, it didn’t work out for us.…
