Barbacking seems like the best bet for me at this time as a "slammed" shift 
would not work out well for me at this time. A week or two of day shifts would 
be fine to warm me up, but I can't count on that. So I'll barback to get my 
foot in the door of a good place.

I'll really need to get myself "out there" more than what I've done. There 
just aren't that many ads in the paper.

I need to create my own leads. I figure I'll hit up the beach bars/reataurants 
that are picking up at this time of year.

When I've filled out aps between 1-4 I've not meet too many bar managers. If I 
go later the managers are busy. There's usually some kind of shift meeting 
when they get in, and that's followed up w/happy hour.

So what's the best time to show up asking for work? Perhaps weekends?

Also, would it be a good idea to canvas by phone? I can call many more bars 
than I can drive to in a day.

Hank

P.S. Does this sound OK?:

"I'm not the most experienced bartender in the world, but I'd be happy to 
barback untill I earn a position pouring. I find this to be a fun place with a 
great atmosphere, and I'd really like to be a part of it."
