3. How should someone new to the workforce get a J-O-B like yours? |
|
If someone wanted to go about getting a job similar to yours, what would you recommend for him or her to do?
Just go in to a restaurant or bar, tell them you will never get experience if someone doesn't give you the chance, and tell them by them training you they get to mold you into the employee they want you to be! It never hurts to ask! You can always take a bartending course also.
|
|
What
skills do you think a person should have if they want to pursue a
position like yours? Please be specific and explain why (e.g., social
skills, organization skills, technical skills)
Very socialable! Need to have a sense of humor and the ability to deal with alot being thrown at you at once and be able to maintain their cool when they are put under pressure.
|
|
Do you feel that you need a certain level of education or training to be successful in your job?
Not really - you either can do it or you can't.
|
|
What advice would you give to someone who was about to start work in your position/ line of work?
BE STRONG! Let it roll off your back. People drink and say things that are rude and cruel, but take it all with a grain of salt and remember that they are not sober, and you are the easiest person to take their problems out on. Just don't take it personally.
