If you’ve got bartending experience, you can highlight it in your resume. If you’re just starting out, mention that you’ve attended parties and bought booze to practice pouring. If you have thrown a party yourself, say so. This shows the employer you’re honest and are willing to learn. They’ll be impressed by your knowledge and experience behind the bar. After all, they don’t want to hire you for your own bragging rights – they want to see what you can bring to their establishment.
Besides experience in bartending, be sure to consider interpersonal skills and a positive attitude. Bartenders need to be attentive and understand that customers come first. A bar owner must create a balance between being professional and being friendly. The right attitude will go a long way in making customers happy and boosting business. If the bartender doesn’t know how to treat customers, they can easily turn them off and alienate them.
While bartending is an ideal profession for people with natural talent and a strong work ethic, it is important to be persistent and willing to make sacrifices. If you are lucky, you may end up landing a job at a bar that you don’t particularly enjoy. If you have a natural flair for the job, it will make a good impression on management. If you don’t like the atmosphere at your first bar, you can always move to another location to improve your skills.
