So if someone (*cough, Part time Barman Bartender jobs in USA) tells you they keep in touch with all the managers in town or they know exactly which bars are hiring; if they aren’t a manager at that bar…as Flava-Flav would say…“don’t believe the hype!”

I call BS, and so should you.

Why?

Because here’s the way it works in the real world with bartending jobs…most bars, especially the good ones, have people that literally come in and apply EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. On top of that, bar owners and managers are so busy running their business that they don’t have time to keep in contact with an outside “school” to make sure they are thoroughly stocked with back-up bartenders to call upon at a moments notice. Remember, they have prospects that walk in the front door 10 times a day.

1.     Consistency. Consistently make yourself a presence in their establishment. Maybe you already do this? Great! Even if you are the local bar-fly, the point is they know you, and they feel that you know their establishment, which is huge. When I was hired at my current bar, the owners and managers were really concerned that I understood their bar, their customers types, and the flow of business… Part time Barman Bartender jobs in USA, it can get super busy all the time.

3   Persistence. You MUST be persistent in your actions of going out there, following up, pounding the pavement, knocking on doors and MAKING FRIENDS. Its highly unlikely that the first bar, or two, or thirty you apply for Part time Barman Bartender jobs in USA. You could get hired at the first place you walk into, it’s all about timing. But you might have to hit a few places and you will most likely need to be persistent in your follow up to each of them several times.
