I been working in hospitality and have over ten years of experience. I think all good bartenders are open-minded, personal able, and keep up with all industry information. My only peave is substandard work condistions but I still the same personable open-minded and I do my best to keep follow trends in the industry
I didn't get the job :(. However... I did get a full time cooperate job. So I think that's waayyyyy better! I am terrified because this is my first big girl job.... Please wish me luck!
You're lucky despite being a fun job you will not have to go through that gap in your young years. One thing I'll tell you is restaurant and bar enployees are most likely to become alcoholics. The job is both fun and stressful but it does change your life
Holy S#*T! I Just aced a entry level bartender interview with this info. I did not pretend to be anything special except for my willingness to learn, they needed help bad. Hope I get the gig! thanks guys, gals & awesome people who made this.
yes and no. the tips i used from you got me the yes. like being honest about my skill level and and lack of experience. the business called the day i was supposed to start and let me know that i was not needed after all. I no longer am interested in being involved with any restaurant or bar, people are people and i do not blame them. i am very grateful for not getting the job, but thank you for reaching out to me and following up. @@maximusperez5607
I did my masters in physics but now I think bartending job is cooler than becoming a professor or researcher and obviously it's lot stress free job , i don't care what society thinks I'm gonna try it out
I have been making and creating drinks for a while. Just have to learn a few common drinks. I'm good at it. I enjoy it. I'm thinking of interning at a bar where everyone knows and likes me. I know the game since I know the bartenders and learned how they got started. I need to pay to get my degree in chemistry somehow.
By the way, for anyone wondering: a lot of places hire up from barback to bartender in house. This is done because it helps the person trying to move up be familiar with internal processes, gaining the trust of the bar manager and showing a good working rapport with others. It also helps obviously to get you familiar with the tools, etc. However. It’s a fallacy to assume one could only be hired as a bartender if they’ve never bartended or barbacked. I think it’s unfair personally to people with excellent customer service skills that already have other full time work. The bar industry is very unfair, unfortunately.
Do people starting out with a bar tending license with no bar tending experience, but have 2 plus years in being a barista (coffee)- does that count toward anything?
Having worked at Starbucks for a couple of years helped me become ambidextrous behind the bar. I also went to Bartending School and had a huge advantage when it came to speed and (not) spilling drinks. Not to mention you already have practice memorizing drink recipes. I was fortunate enough to have worked in a Starbucks within a hotel where I already had an excellent reputation as well as seniority. And now I am a bartender in the hotel's Sports Bar. Short answer: Yes, it does count. Many people will agree that bartending is easier than being a barista.
I was wondering if someone knows of any places that hire bartenders or barbacks during the weekdays. I would love to works the weekends, but I already work at a place where I'm trying to get a bartending job. However, I need more hours, so I was wondering if any establishments would hire bartenders during the weekdays.

Just give the customers the drinks you wish to be free to drink those and you ll be sorprise with the results dont ever give a customer a weack drink or something.doesnt look good to you
Just from your comment I would say it sounds like you just actually care about your future which is a trait you shouldn't loose.Keep researching like you are doing now and you will be successful and most importantly happy with where you end up.
@@Cottagemould1 have you ever bartended? by your comment im guessing not lol. its not that simple. you have to remember recipes, do dishes, keep up on everyones drinks and remember what they were drinking, cash them out all while making the drinks for your servers because their tables ordered them, try it for a day in a busy bar and you'll drown
@Ellie O'Sullivan so would you say bartending is fun because I want to be one it's just I definitely have no experience I understand it will be hard work but I'm willing to do it

Good luck man!
Cheers guys, just finished my Saturday shift. Busy as fuck but honestly I love it.
Did you go to bartending school?
Hey what are the requirements to be a bartender?
I did my masters in physics but now I think bartending job is cooler than becoming a professor or researcher and obviously it's lot stress free job , i don't care what society thinks I'm gonna try it out
I do not think it is stress free. Busy nights are probably exhausting!
Same here I’m a mechanical engineer by day but I’m excited to try bartending!!
Bro keep your dreams becoming real,dont be a bartender its not worth it💀,unless you like it alot
I did my masters in economics and I think bartending is cooler too.
@@tyrians6376 Bro have u tried or any plans? Like we can think of together. Btw me abt to complete masters in technology.
Thank you guys for this video, it's really helped me out.
They want to hire someone that is open minded but can’t be open minded themselves
Preach what you teach!!
I wanted to learn bartending
And then I took an arrow to the knee
I worked in my grandparents bar a long time ago in Detroit and it sucked I hated being around drunk people

Ana Thank you!
Well, maybe if you didn't put so much emphasis on experience you wouldn't have a know it all bartender!

Is there a difference between a man and a woman being a bartender like is there different rules you need to follow being a different gender
Just give the customers the drinks you wish to be free to drink those and you ll be sorprise with the results dont ever give a customer a weack drink or something.doesnt look good to you

Am I tripping out or is this video tiny af and in the corner only????
Tripping
Lol you put liquid into a cup
So true! Putting liquid into a cup and handing it to a paying customer is NOT rocket science!

I'm sure that's all difficult, HA!
@Ellie O'Sullivan so would you say bartending is fun because I want to be one it's just I definitely have no experience I understand it will be hard work but I'm willing to do it
@Ellie O'Sullivan Kinda funny the fact that both jobs imply following specific procedures, measurements, fragile instruments and liquids
I have parkinsons, will they hire me?
Sure, if you stick to martinis
The girl is really annoying
She's the type of bartender who has narcissistic attitude and asks her barback to do everything like she owns the place.
@@Amjad2 she talks about great personalities but has none
