Be on time, be polite, dress appropriately for the establishment, if you think
they will give you a try out then don't wear heels you'll fall and embarass
yourself. If it's just an interview be honest and tell them you are new but
you can do it and if they would just let you get your foot in the door you
would be happy to just "bar-back" or cocktail until you know more. I've never
hired a bartender off the street, I make everyone bar back first...so when
somebody tells me this then I know first and foremost they want a job and will
show up for work, you can coach someone to bartend but they have to be there
for you to do it. Let them know your gonna be there and your always gonna be
in a good mood.
