![]() ![]() Conversely, there’s a bar in town that has an entirely new staff every six weeks – that’s probably not going to be a good job either, as the owners are obviously psychotic. That’s not the type of place you’re looking for. Does it have staff turnover? If you picked my bar, you’d be out of luck – there are only two of us, and one of us is going to have to die in order for a shift to open up. The bar you choose is going to be your target, and you’re going to slide on in before they know what happened.įind out as much as you can about the establishment. To make things easy on yourself, make it a local bar and not a big chain. First, find a bar that you’d like to work in. I’m going to bet that you can get a job for the same money or less in the same forty hours. Let’s say that a typical bartending course is forty hours long and costs $500, yet doesn’t get you a job. If you’re not a complete idiot, you can get a job in a bar with no experience, and for half the cost of a bartending “school”. ![]() It takes training, time, and working your way up the ladder in order to be running the show on a Friday night. You don’t become a doctor, lawyer, or architect straight out of school, and the same goes for bartending. No professional bar manager is going to hire someone as a bartender straight out of school. Sure, a bartending school is going to give you a bookful of recipes, and some resume-writing tips, and some of the bigger schools might even have some connections around town that will post job openings on their bulletin board. What I don’t like about bartending schools is that they make you think you’re actually going to find a job. I’m not a huge fan of bartending schools, and it’s not only because they make you believe that you’re learning valuable information as they cram 500 useless drink recipes into your brain. What do you think of the schools that are 40 hours and if it might be a reasonable investment? But I’m unemployed for the moment and thinking about bartending school as an alternative job till i get another graphic/web design position, I know bartending school isn’t a job but possibly a means to the end of being a bartender. I’m a fine art student who draws paints, does flash work, and have done print work.
