With the resume and cover letter ready, you can move on to the biggest challenge yet: the interview. Bartending interviews can be a bit different from other jobs.
Questions are often far more specific and skill-based. They may even include asking the candidate to demonstrate how they would make a certain drink or handle a situation. First, make sure you thoroughly read the bartender job description. This is an easy way to show you have an attention to detail and avoid making you seem like you just applied for the role at random. In the actual interview, the most important thing is to make a good first impression.
Coming off in the wrong way at the start will be very difficult to recover from. This will keep you from starting the interview off on the right foot and at least get you the opportunity to sell your value. One subject that comes up often when looking to become a bartender or hiring one, is the legal age to serve alcohol.
This is actually more complicated than you may think. In a majority of states, you need to be 18 years old to serve alcohol legally.
However, some states will let you serve as young as 16 or as old as 21 with various rules regarding where you can do it and what types of alcohol you can serve. That's why it's important that both applicants and businesses look up the laws governing that particular bar or restaurant's situation.
Yes, you can serve alcohol at 18 in most of the U. However, city and county ordinances may affect this. For example, in Illinois, you can serve alcohol at 18, but you need to be 21 in the city of Chicago.
City websites usually have ordinances listed, so it's a good idea to check that out before wasting your time applying for a job or scheduling an interview with someone under This all starts with a cheat sheet. This document that bartenders keep behind the bar covers some basic things that are likely to come up during their shift and usually contains recipes for basic drinks, which we'll cover below.
However, you can also include cleaning instructions, guidance on how to use the bar POS, and more. There are hundreds of different drinks that people will ask a bartender to make.
However, there are a few drinks that will be ordered at almost every single bar in the U. To help, here are three drinks for your basic bartending drinks cheat sheet:.
