How to Become a Hooters Girl

It is well known that most people come to Hooters for the scenery and not the wings. Just what makes these girls stand out from other skimpily clad food and cocktail servers? How can you get hired there? Here are a few tips to help you become a Hooters girl.

Hooters girls are confident! This job is not for the faint of heart. It will be really difficult to wear the Hooters uniform if you don't possess any self-confidence. Believing in yourself is quite an attractive trait. Men and women alike are drawn to a person that feels good about themselves. However, it's important not to cross the line into arrogance.

Hooters girls are positive! A friendly attitude is a must for any server. Note that overdoing it may cause unwanted responses and give the wrong impression, however. Hooters girls are comfortable smiling all day long, even if it's forced. The customers respond more favorably to a happy disposition and someone that enjoys their job.

Hooters girls can carry a conversation. While this is not a requirement, it will help your tips in the long run to get to know your patrons. A majority of them will become repeat customers. Management also likes to see the girls sitting down with the guests, to create the most comfortable and casual dining experience. You should never be made to feel uncomfortable by anyone. If you find yourself in this position, alert a manager immediately about your concerns.

Hooters girls are in shape! You didn't think I'd skip this all-important trait, did you? While you don't have to be a size six, Hooters girls are especially known for their bodies. The buxom ones are portrayed to be preferred, but that's not always the case. Having a healthy body is most important. Nowadays, there's the luxury of Spanx and bra inserts, lifters, and shapers for those looking for some extra help.

Keep in mind that you may have to hula-hoop and stand on chairs for birthday songs and other events. There are also many opportunities to participate in swimsuit contests and your chance to be featured in the beloved Hooters girl calendar. So you can see why staying in shape should be a priority for this job.

Hooters girls are always "date ready." Clean-cut appearances are a must. Brushed hair, preferably down, and fresh make-up will help achieve this look. The Hooters girl should come across as the girl-next-door type, not as a pole dancer.

Many models and aspiring actors work as Hooters girls, and for good reason. Opportunities exist here that you won't find in your average restaurant. The tips aren't so bad, either!
