Subject: Getting my foot in the door
From: kmo567
Posted: Sun Jun 17. 2012, 23:06 UTC
I'm a 19 year old(male) looking to get my foot in the door of 
bartending/barbacking. I have 4 months of restaruant experience as a busboy 
and kind of a utility man doing all sorts of things. I recently went to 
bartending school, aware it does not give me actual bar experience, but i 
thought going for a barback and ahving at least a little bit of knowledge 
might put me ahead. 

I would like to go to a big nightclub, that would be my preference of course. 
My problem is i am only home from school until the beginning of August, if i 
offered my services for free, in exchange for a reference, reccomendation, and 
preference for hiring if a spot opens. This way I could learn how to barback, 
and the club would lose nothing, because they wouldnt have to pay me. Any 
other suggestions how to get my foot in the door? at a nightclub preferably?
-I also have my TIPS certification

Thank you all for helping me out in advanced
