Showing up when your supposed to willing to work is probably the main 
thing.Knowing their costs and controling them comes second.(don't over pour or 
give away product)

You don't need a lot of knowledge to be a bartender.Most of what you face in
most bars is gin and tonic, scotch and water ect. However the more you add to 
your knowledge the better bartender you will become.

Most bartenders don't make a lot of money.The way to make more money is not 
to ask for a raise but build your customer base.

As far as finding a job go to everybar and ask about any opening.ONe web site 
I would recommend is hcareers.com , no fees ,no spam,no adds, just a large 
searchable job base.

good luck!
