How To Get A Job Bartending San Diego

By Lana Bray


Before starting a search for a bartending San Diego job, remember, that the law requires someone who is serving liquor to consumers to be of legal drinking age themselves before selling the products. If you are uncertain about the rules and how they may affect your ability to become employed in the field, check with the local government office.

Most places you apply to work will not require you to have a lot of experience before being hired. Often, you will be trained on the job. Despite often having the opportunity to learn on the job, whenever possible you should take the time to learn as much as you can about mixing drinks before you begin your new job.

If possible, it is a good idea to get a formal education in the field before applying for jobs. There are actually a number of educational institutions that offer programs to teach you how to mix drinks properly. Take some time to check out a few of the different programs in your area. The length of a program and the cost will vary from place to place.

Before you actually apply for a new job, get as much experience as you are able to get. Job shadowing can be an invaluable way to learn some of the skills that will be needed and get a sense of what it will be like working in this type of environment. Keep in mind, the more experience that you have, the more likely it will be that you get chosen for the position.

Any past jobs or present jobs that you have had that includes restaurant work can be an asset in applying for a new job of this nature. Being a server at a restaurant has many similarities that can be of benefit such as taking orders, having very strong people skills, excellent math skills, the ability to multitask and working well within a team setting.

It is very important that you are aware of and willing to follow the dress code as set out by the establishments management. While some companies are very casual others require a more strict dress attire. Always be ready to dress accordingly and remember, to dress properly for the interview.

Along with being mindful of dress code for an interview, be sure you have prepared for the interview itself as much as possible. Keep in mind, the more prepared you are the more impressed you will make the interviewer.

Bartending San Diego can take place in more than just a bar. You can find these skilled workers in places such as hotels, clubs and resorts to name just a few. It is for this reason you should take the time to think about which kind of environment you would prefer to work in when applying. Also remember, that it is going to take some time to become a skilled drink mixer so, do be patient and take as much time as possible to master your skills.
