Open Job Call at American Apparel, Part Deux
If the last American Apparel job call is any indication, then the corner of East Houston and Orchard Street will be packed next Wednesday. The Lower East Side outpost, which recently removed five of its storied benches, is holding so-called hipster tryouts to fill “key holder positions” for both day and night shifts. Bonus points for extra cleavage, plaid, ironic mustaches, and/or straw fedoras.

The job call will be held at 183 East Houston, and is scheduled between 4 pm and 7 pm on Wednesday, September 1. Guess business is okay at this branch in light of the parent company’s financial woes.
