Bartending Online
Bartending Online
Is going to an online bartending class a rip off?
I signed up for an online bartending school for $149.
It offers certification at the end of my course and guaranteed job placement within 30 days. If I don’t find a job within that time, I get a refund (except for the $58 processing included in original price).
I hope I didn’t make a mistake.
Some say apply as a barback then work my way up… I honestly don’t have time to ‘work my way up’ because I already have a job, and I am looking for good money on the side once my main job stops giving me hours during the summer months.
What you need to do is have a party and show off the skills you have learned online. That’s the only way to know if you were scammed or if the information was useful to you as a potential bartender. Mix up some drinks and have fun!
Finding a new job can be a frustrating process and any server or bartender that has been through understands the pains of trying to find and start a new job at a new bar or restaurant. Here are 5 tips to make your next bartending job search easier and help you find that next job faster.
Tip #1
Start looking before you get fired or quit. It is always good to have a few resumes floating around at other bars or restaurants. After all if you interviewed for a new bartending job and it was going to make you more money, you would likely take the job and quit your current job. This will also give you an idea of what is out there as well.
Tip #2
Use a resume to look more professional. There is nothing worse that looking like a bartender when you are trying to get a bartending job. Bar and restaurant managers and owners know that there are a lot of shady bartenders out there and they want to hire the best of the best, if possible. They have, most likely, fired someone for stealing, had someone that just did not cut it behind the bar, and had someone that did not show up for work. Using a resume is one thing you can do to set yourself apart from those that just turn in an application.
Tip #3
Dress professionally when applying for a bartending job. When you are applying for a bartending job, as a guy, you should be wearing a tie, as a girl you should look professional, like you are interviewing for a position at a law firm. This will give you a better chance of landing an interview right away and will give you a leg up on your competition that decided to show up in jeans and a t-shirt.
Tip #4
Apply to every restaurant and bar that you can find. Just because there is not an ad in the newspaper does not mean that the bar or restaurant is not hiring. Most places have stacks of applications and are always looking for more. They don’t want to spend the money to place an ad in the paper so they count on walk in applicants. Make sure you always apply in person, never call ahead, and fill out the application right there with your own pen.
Tip #5
The last tips is very important because it will make the difference between getting hired and not getting hired. Always make sure to talk to a manager before you leave when applying and ask for an interview. They may be reluctant or might tell you no, but if you ask you have a better chance of getting an interview right on the spot.
Using all of these tips together can land you a bartending job within a week. I have done it and so have many of my friends who have worked as bartenders. Make your next bartending job search shorter by combining all of these tips with a smile and a positive attitude.
