Did you have any previous experience or take any bartending classes? I've been thinking of doing this. I've heard good and bad things about the classes, but I've never bartended before, so I don't know how else to go about getting a job.
- crazygringo 13y agoI took a two-week, 40-hour evening bartending course where you practiced with colored water. The course itself was actually a ton of fun. Obviously, like every first waiting/bartending job, you have to make up fake prior experience. Heck, they even taught us that in the course. I never knew anyone who didn't have to make experience up in order to get their first job. Plus I definitely "dumbed down" my resume a bit -- bar owners have no interest in your coding experience. And of course, it helps (both financially and in terms of finding a job) to be in a major metro area. For me it was NYC.
