Tips for Acquiring a Bartending Job

Bartending can be one of the fastest ways to make some quick money, but it all begins with a strong knowledge in mixology. Dale Carnegie once said: "The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore." Bartending is a great example of working for your dollar. If you are willing to learn the ins and outs of the trade, then the next step to take toward this exciting career is training. In less than a week or two, you can be making several hundred to over a thousand dollars to do fun and exciting work. Who wouldn't want to be paid to listen to music, make people laugh, and be the center of attention? And on top of it, you'll be making as much as many entry-level college graduates. Many students right out of college are stuck inside a cubicle all day and can only dream of the excitement that a bar offers. The best part is you can not only have fun while getting paid, but you can work around a variety of schedules. Many bartenders work after attending classes during the day, or supplement their income after a day-job. There are some who just want extra income while others enjoy the thrill of working in an environment that thrives off high energy. Bartending also gives you the opportunity to meet new people every day. Build contacts, find a date, or even make new friends. I know people who have done all of the above while bartending, and to top it off were getting paid to do it! Now is the time to move on to bigger and better opportunities. Put yourself in a position to meet new people, make a lucrative income, and love what you do everyday you go to work. Start by finding a bartending school in your area. With a simple search online you can also find tons of resources for free which can get you started in just a few days.
