Bartending school versus working you way up to bartender?

can I hear from some people with industry experience, what is more desirable?



someone fresh out of a bartending school, with no work experience

or someone who has served and barbacked and is looking for their first bartending gig?Bartending school versus working you way up to bartender?
Experience....personality and professionalism . Employers want someone who will take their job seriously and just think "bar tending looks fun". Bar tending schools are a SCAM! I have never seen anyone hired because of a bar tending school degree.Bartending school versus working you way up to bartender?
it's more about you and how you prove what you know. If you know a drink thats fine, but knowing the bar business is something you need to show. Personally - I am not good choice cause I'm not able to talk above loud noises. Be direct and be very assertive. Show that you are goodat talking. Bartenders are needed to help bring business. Appearances is more important than knowledge.



experience is more important in some ways. If you have the desire and ability then that is the best of both worlds for a bar owner / manager.
