1

Make a list of 10 bars, restaurants, clubs, etc. where you would want to work. Hint: Country Clubs, family owned restaurants, neighborhood bars, and hotels with small bar lounges are perfect for the aspiring bartender with no experience.



2

Research these 10 establishments on the internet and via phone calls to get the contact information of the person who hires bartenders.



3

Write a cover letter that pops with personality and will get you noticed by the hiring decision maker. For tips on how to write great cover letters check out http://hubpages.com/hub/bartending-cover鈥?/a>



4

Write a resume that focuses on skills you have that relate to bartending. If you have experience, obviously include it. If you don't have bartending experience then find other job experience you do have that bar managers want to see. For example: conflict resolution, sales, customer service, etc. For tips on writing a bartending resume with no experience visit http://hubpages.com/hub/bartending-resum鈥?/a>



5

Call the contacts you researched in step 1 and ask to drop off your resume. If they respond with "We're not hiring right now" then politely ask for only 2 minutes of there time to drop off your resume for future reference.



6

When dropping off your cover letter and resume, dress well, have presence, and be confident. Do your best to turn 2 minutes into 10. Good employees are very hard to find. If you impress the hiring decision maker they will either find a job for you or refer you to someone they know who is looking.



7

Repeat steps 5 and 6. Getting a bartending job can be a bit of a numbers game especially if you don't have experience. Keep at it. This will work and you really can make great money as a bartender.
