It was just my curiosity to see how well the school did in placing it's 
graduates.It's my opinion that most bartending schools are intrested in 
getting your  money and will say what they have to do that.

you should have taken it peroid(just my opinion).Then on your next interview 
you would haave experience behind a bar plus you could probablly learned a 
great deal about the business just through osmosis and observation.There is a 
high turnover rate in a lot of bars and sooner or later someone one would quit 
and you'd be sure to get the job.

So basicly the school sent you to two interviews, one they didn't want a 
bartender but a barback and the other the job was taken and then the job line 
for the school was not working.

From what a lot of people have told me this is not an uncommon 
experience.Anyone out there reading this graduate from a bartending school 
where the school actuallly got them a job?

Keep trying I'm sure someone  with your drive and personality would make a 
good bartender. Check out hcareers.com  they have searchable data base of jobs 
that are valid and up todate and it's free.(got my first cruise ship job from 
there)


Good Luck
