I was curious if anyone knows of any bars/restaurants that are in need of experienced bartenders. My girlfriend and I are moving to Uptown September 1 and are in need of jobs. Any advice of places that are hiring or people that know people would be super helpful. We both have about 5 years of experience....I spent sometime behind the bar in Raleigh as well as nyc. I'm sure it's a longshot, but I thought I'd post just in case. Thanks in advance for any help.
Finding a bar tending job in Clt should not be hard if you have experience. I bartended all through college and law school, recently moved to Clt and I had plenty of job opps. I would say put together a resume.... don't just walk in to fill out an application, know the bar where you are applying (i.e. what's the environment), dress up, and be prepared to take a pour test and prove your skills. There are new places opening all the time! It's probably a little easier to find something outside of uptown.
thx for the advice. yeah, i've been looking on craigslist and there are some opportunities now, so hopefully there still will be in a month or so. thx law, i will look outside of uptown as well.
I'd check out different places you think you want to work. Go in and have a drink or two. See if you like the atmosphere and clientele. If you think this is a place you'd like to work, start up a conversation with the bartender and find out if they are hiring.
I agree with 2sweet4law - have a resume ready, be prepared and dress up. With your experience, you should be able to find some kind of bartending/waiting job. I mention waiting, because some places like you to start out waiting and work your way up - depends on the place, your experience and what there current need is too though.
