    432 W. Pender Vancouver BC Independently Owned & Operated. The following guide is meant to give you an idea of how to put together a resume that you can use to apply for bartending jobs. The restaurant & bar industry is not a very formal industry. A lot of the rules you would learn about in university etc.. about putting together a resume don't apply. For example; if you were applying to a law firm to be a lawyer, you would expect your potential employer to read every word of your 3 page CV, call all your references, etc.. Obviously you wouldn't trim your accomplishments down to 1 page, but thats whats expected of you in the bar industry. Your goal when writing a resume for the bar industry is to make your points quickly. Bar managers spend 5 - 10 seconds skimming over your resume, and call references less than 50% of the time. Many managers would rather you come in and work 1 night and see how you do, than spend 10 minutes calling your references. Point being, the restaurant world is much different than most when it comes to building a resume. We hope our 5 tips will give you a good idea of how to get started. 1 The Basics How many pages do you think a resume should be? In the hospitality world, the correct answer is 1. In my own experience going through hundreds of resumes over the years, I found myself looking at a resume for about 5-10 seconds before deciding if I should invite someone in for an interview, or toss it in the trash.

  • INTRODUCTION “So a Guy Walks Into a Bar and Asks the Bartender…..”
    Bartender Tips, Tricks and Drink Recipes INTRODUCTION “So a guy walks into a bar and asks the bartender…..” How many jokes have you heard start out that way. The bartender is the main focus of any commercial bar. Forget about the waitresses. Sure they bring the drinks, but the bartender has to make them. Forget about the fry cooks serving up greasy fries. It‟s the bartender who has made you crave them. Bartenders have enjoyed a long and storied history. They are the psychiatrists that you don‟t have to have an appointment for. They are the ones you hear all the best jokes from. They are the ones who show you the neatest bar tricks to impress your friends. The bartender, for some people, is the best friend they never had. Tending bar is more than just pouring a cold draught beer or mixing up a mean screwdriver. With all the new drink combinations out these days, bartenders must be up on all the new terminology not to mention having the ability to mix up an Alabama Slammer without looking in the recipe book. Bartending schools are popping up all over the country. Lured by the enticement of cash tips for serving the drunken public, bartending has been elevated to an art form. When the movie “Cocktail” came out, bartenders sought out the ability to twirl bottles and throw them up in the air as the bottle pours a perfect shot before it lands softly in their hand. Few can argue this is something not the everyday Joe can do.

  • The Female Bartender in Mumbai, India
    The female bartender in Mumbai, India MA Thesis by Nicky Ligtvoet Student number 0739650 Universiteit Leiden MA Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology Supervisor: Dr. J.H.J. Florusbosch Acknowledgements. I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. J.H.J. Florusbosch, who gave me valuable inputs and came up with important perspectives in regard to the substance of this thesis. Without the kind cooperation and support of the people I met and interviewed in the field, my research would not have been possible. In addition, I would also like to thank Dr. Jose van Santen, who supervised me the months before and during my fieldwork, for her time, advice and inspiring thoughts and insights. 2 Contents Introduction . Part 1 Chapter 1. Theoretical Formulation: Theorizing gender and labour in India. Fieldwork in Mumbai. A word on Ethics. Chapter 2. Entering the field: Research methods, techniques and bar hopping Introduction of the female bartenders. Part 2 Chapter 3. Gender norms in India, a battle against gender apartheid. The ideas on Stigma. The effects of gender norms and law on the work experience. Chapter 4. The fun of freelance. Chapter 5. From bar academy to bar counter. Conclusion. 3 Introduction. Concerning relations in the labour force, anthropological and ethnographic research can trace complexities across places and times, between particular industries, states, communities, workplaces, and people. I argue that we should focus more on occupations (rendered services) rather than on industry alone to trace these complexities. Inspired by what I have been preferring to do for almost ten years in daily life, I chose to conduct a research on female bartending.
