    Oddly enough all of the employees fired were no longer ugly once they stopped wearing American Apparel.

    It's still unfair. The ugly employees aren't provided the main perk of the job, which is sleeping with the boss.

    He employs himself. That's the best defense he could have against ugly discrimination.

    He sounds like 75% of gallery owners and directors when discussing their assistant hires. Except for the "does not necessarily mean they have to be physically attractive" part.
    Gallery assistants aren't forced to wear mesh leotards and flurescent hot pants, though. So . . . upside.

    Also, Dov looks like my creepy gym teacher from 1984. I reckon he drives around in a windowless van, with no pants on and asking children to help him find his puppy.

    When I was an art student, I applied to work at an AA store.
    They take a polaroid of you before the group interviews even begin.
    So yeah, not surprised.

    @andheartss haz it: Curious what kind of questions they asked you in the group interview. Was it the typical HR "where do you see yourself in 5 years" bs, or more of a FAIL/PASS '80s music + fashion quiz?

    @snugbug: i applied to a store once. no polaroid or group interview... but an interview question was what i thought about their advertising. can't remember what i said, but i imagine being very 'porn-positive' is a requirement (which i'm not). i'm sure i tried to be coy about it, but didn't get the job anyway. big loss.

    @snugbug: The interview itself was normal but you can tell who they're looking for. I was a shoe-in for the interview I think because I went to art school.
    They love that shit. My mistake was to dress interview-appropriate and not like I'd just crawled out of bed after an all-night vodka bender. If only.
    Also the store I applied to is in NYC. Basic retail stores in Manhattan seem to be ridiculously snooty.
    My look/artsy fartsyness most likely got me following jobs at H&M and Urban Outfitters....Dov is not alone.

    "Fashionable without actually being good looking."
    Is he talking about the employees or the clothes?
