Subject: In Trouble!?
From: Dallas
Posted: Wed Jun 29. 2005, 23:33 UTC
A small local restaurant owner of a new establishment is giving me a 
bartending "trial" this Thursday.

The owner is giving me a shot above two other applicants with five and seven 
years experience respectively.  My confidence stems from the fact they are 
giving me a shot- they must see something in me.  I did fib about having 
experience- saying I had about six weeks worth at a sports bar.

Both the owners tell me that it is the slow season for their business ( it's a 
college town).  During our interview, I asked them what types of drinks they 
serve mostly- wine.  My bartending school did not cover the basics of wine 
service and focused on cocktails.

I have 1 year of restaurant experience, and a great deal of customer service 
experience in retail.  My question is- am I in trouble? Or should I expect to 
stay afloat?

I don't have a big ego, nor am I overly confident about securing the position. 
 But I am confident.  

Any advice?  

Thanks!
Dallas.
