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
