I feel pretty confident with what i learned in school. Besides every place has different ways of doing things, which i will learn that as i go. I know ppl say bartending school is a waste of time/money, but if $400 saves me from being a barback or cocktail server for a year or 2, i say "why not just do it", and start as a bartender.
Where would be a good place to start off bartending? personal experiences are appreciated, thanks...Just finished bartending school!?
the reason we say, it is a waste, is, because the industry snickers at those "graduates",and rarely hires them. i've been in the business for over 25 years, yet i've never worked with a bartender from a school. usually the schools offer placement as part of the tuition, you might want to check into that. the only advice i have for you, is to keep quiet about attending bartending school during a job interview, most places prefer to train in house.Just finished bartending school!?
first of all congrats! i would try going to a local pub or bar and see how you like it, then move on to a nightclub if you don't mind the late nights (some ppl do).
