Subject: need more advice looking for server/bartending job
From: jerrold
Posted: Wed Nov 19. 2008, 22:43 UTC
Hello all, 

I am somewhat new to bartending (took a bartending course several years ago, 
found a couple of 1 day bartending jobs (parties) but gave up after not 
finding a long term job and moved on to something else.) 

I have read the posts about finding a job as a novice and have even applied 
for server jobs as I have done this for a few months several years ago as 
well. 

problem is I have had no success; I have answered ads on craigslist.org left 
and right and even had a couple of on the spot interviews after tracking down 
the managers.

my question is this: due to the very iffy overall economy, my lack of recent 
and significant experience in both bartending and serving and I live in 
Chicago where there are no shortage of restaurants/bars but lots of 
competition and I am an average but professional looking male in a town with 
lots of attractive females who have bartending/server experience, what can I 
do? Just be persistent and keep looking for that one face-to-face interview 
where the manager will give me a break or is there anything else I can do to 
give me the advantage if there is one to be had?

PS...I am also employing the visit the bar I'd like to work at tactic.
