Bartender/ Manager
April ••••• - Present
I currently work as a bartender and manager for a local bar and grill. I have worked my way through college in the restaurant industry and for the past three years I have been bartending, and recently became a manager.
Bartending is an enjoyable position however, I have recently graduated and I am ready to put my degree and education to good use. While bartending I have learned many skills such as: good communication, the ability to work in a fast-paced and stressful environment while remaining calm, skills to manage stressful and possibly unhappy customers (as well as co-workers), I have also found many ways to speak with a variety of people dealing with a wide variety of issues. I believe that bartending and managing has made me more personable and reliable.
