Strip club manager is a dick...
Dancinggal
So I'm on the search for a new club, one that allows a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I called Rio Gentlemen club and asked to speak to a manager to ask some questions. I was transferred to "Eddie" and I gave him my stage name, told him I was a dancer interested in working for his club and I asked what the scheduling for the dancers looks like. He interupts me and rudely goes "No no no. First I need to ask you some questions. Have you ever danced here before ?" And I said no, which I had made clear before when I introduced myself. He proceeds to act like a complete jerk off ,answered my question and I said thank you. And he laughs this rude way and goes "OOOOOOOKAY. Anything else?" All in a condescending and rude tone. I just hung up. What the hell did I do? Why is this guy such a dick? I had one simple question.

So, if you have the looks and can make enough money for yourself in the club, try to ignore this condescending and likely small-dicked asshole. As I said in the other post, a good ass-rapin might be just the thing if you can find a gay guy who will even agree to ass fuck such front-end swill.
I thought y'all wanted to be "employees" now, not "independent contractors"
Hmmm...
I don't know for sure if you were totally serious about your comment of strip club management being failed used car salesmen, but I know for a fact the club owner of my favorite club fits your description of the typical strip club manager to a tee. And the scary thing is, I know his brother, too (brother's the bouncer), and compared to his brother, he's the smart one.
@Dancinggal-
The other possibility as far as looking for a new club is if they have an amateur contest, enter it. The one club in my area which has an amateur contest pretty much only hires dancers who dance in the amateur contest. I know from what the one dancer said that you don't need to enter the amateur contest at that club, but that's probably a hell of a lot easier than a regular audition. And no, you don't have to win it to get hired. Of course, I have no idea if any amateur contests exist in your area.
I do recognize that this approach may not be possible for you right now since the bridges to your old place have been well and truly burned (and rightfully so!) and you need to get income quickly. For the future, it might be worth checking out other clubs once a month so you can have exit plans in place.
Like others have mentioned, I'd recommend in-person visits. You can take the opportunity to observe the club a bit and decide if you'd be interested in working there. If you bring a male friend, I'm sure he can get some info from the dancers about working conditions. If you choose to apply, I suspect you'll have much greater success if the manager can put a face (and in this case tits and ass) with your voice. Even if they have a formal online/form based application system, an in person visit should help your chances.
And don't get me wrong, I realize strip club managers in general are fucking idiots & assholes. I mean, one of the most common career path goes from bouncer/floor manager/general manager. The number of people with the attributes that can make a good bouncer & good GM is small. Its the classic case of the Peter Principle. Its hard to blame them for being assholes sometimes though, dealing with strippers/bartenders/waitresses all day can make a bitch mighty irritable.
As for cflock, if you don't like hearing from a dancer on here, there's an ignore button :) in case you didn't know.
If you look like Duo – I can see where that would be advantageous.
But, on the other hand...a former fav worked at a club like this, even though she personally was very anti-extras. She said she and one other dancer were the only attractive ones in the club. It was on I-95, so it got a fair number of guys who weren't local and didn't know it was more a brothel than a strip club. She'd get those guys, and she'd warm up the other guys for their BJ from one of the junkies.
