NEW YORK, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Charmin, America's favorite toilet
paper brand, held open auditions in NYC as part of a national job search to
find five outgoing and enthusiastic people to work in Times Square at the
Charmin Restrooms this holiday season for a salary of $10,000 each! Beginning
at 8 AM, hundreds of holiday-job-hopefuls lined up to take part in the
"potty-pandemonium," each trying to convince judges that they enjoy going to
the bathroom so much -- whether it be to catch up on reading or just enjoy
some "me time" -- they never want to leave.

Between Monday, November 23, when they will be announced at the opening
ceremony, and December 31, 2009, the five chosen "Charmin Ambassadors" will
interact with hundreds of thousands of restroom guests and share their
experiences with the world. During the six weeks the restrooms are open, the
five "Charmin Ambassadors" will reveal exclusive, behind-the-scenes news by
writing and updating blogs and content on Charmin-branded Web sites and
popular social media sites, and capturing family-friendly video footage in the
space and surrounding areas.
The Charmin Restrooms are returning to New York City for the fourth
consecutive year to provide tourists and locals alike with a "relief refuge"
and momentary respite from the holiday rush. The 20 clean, deluxe, ADA
compliant, family-friendly and fully-staffed restrooms are just like those
you'd find at home, and offer a highly engaging and interactive Charmin
experience with additional luxuries such as: stroller parking; baby changing
stations; seating and a family photo area.
"This holiday season, Charmin wanted to offer five job-seekers a unique
opportunity to make $10,000 while having a little fun in the process," said
Jacques Hagopian, brand manager for Charmin. "We're thrilled to see so many
interested candidates from all across the country come to New York City to
audition and look forward to introducing the five Ambassadors to the world on
November 23 at the opening of the Restrooms in Times Square."
Open auditions are held today, Thursday, November 5, from 10 AM - 6 PM at New
York City's Hilton Hotel on 53rd Street and 6th Avenue. The first 1,000
candidates are guaranteed an audition. Call-backs, for select candidates
invited to attend, will be held on Friday, November 6. Judges will be asking
candidates to explain why they "enjoy the go" and why they should be selected
as a "Charmin Ambassador." The winners will be announced at the opening day
for the Charmin Restrooms on Monday, November 23.
