How I did it: Well I contacted my friend that would be able to help me with connections downtown. I got picked up as a bartender on Wednesdays, which is a slow day, but I will be able to work my way up. And the manager said that I was a fast learner. So I can't wait to work again, and hopefully I can work as a bottle service girl on Fridays and Saturdays.It makes me so grateful for this website, I really don't think I would have stuck to this goal with… Read how I did it…

okay so I got the position and I start on Wednesday nights only, until I can prove myself. I have to show that I can bring a crowd into the club… I desperately want to work Fridays and make some actual money, but I also know I have to start small. I’m hoping my friends can come and support me on Wednesday, I’ll send out Facebook invites and texts to close friends. He says he can train me and show me some stuff behind the bar, which is great! It means that I can move up!! Well I made the bar thing happen..I’m gonna keep this goal up, to keep myself motivated for the night that I want.
Ps. those Bakers heels are fucking killer on my feet lol, but they look so good.
I’m going in today to talk to the owner of the club about V.I.P. & Bottle Service, I’m really nervous.
I was a bad girl and bought black thigh high boots for the “interview”. Hey, I’m going to need a good pair of heels for the job!
So basically I emailed my friend Joe. He’s a good friend that has a lot of connections. And I feel really bad because I don’t want him to think I’m using him, but I’m so ready to do something exciting with my life. It’s not a bartending job, but Joe said that the guy was interested in having me as a bottle service/VIP section girl. So I’d be taking care of the VIP section a lot. He said that he may train me as a bartender, so that would give me experience too!
Joe said that the girls made $300 last weekend, which is amazing. I really hope to make the most out of this oppurtunity. The only thing is I don’t know how Mitch is going to take it, and I don’t want to jinx myself so I have refrained from talking to anybody about it.
I was so on edge the past couple days. I wanted to accomplish this goal so bad, and I actually kind of made it happen. Not yet of course.
I’m having a little bit of anxiety though because I haven’t been working out or stretching the past few days, and everyone who knows me knows that I love to eat. So I decided I’m going to eat light meals tomorrow. Toast, almonds, grapefruit, pears. I need to start eating lighter as it is, so I am going to make another goal today in order to better my life.
This site really does help me be aware, I’m so excited.
they make a lot of money and I could guarantee myself a job in any busy city that I went to.
I want to be a bartended ‘cause my roomate’s server job is making me drool. as a guy, “waitress” is a hard job to get, but I could easily bartend with my smart-serve certificate (canada, here) and a little hutzpah. So, i’m getting my smart-serve tomorrow and I hope to have a bartended job asap. I’m thinking my best bet ‘cause i’ve never been a bartender before is to work at a dive or a hipster-hop—i’m gonna apply everywhere. anyway, wish me luck!

I take my Test in 2 days…I then will be a licensed Bartender. I setup 2 interviews already. They said They Will “TRY ME OUT” then I will know if I have a job. Hopefully I do well and the 2 weeks of school pays off. I’m making progress. Can’t wait to click that “I’m Done” button LoL

I’m attending Bartending school….And I’m Learning, a lot of people say don’t go to the schools. Honestly I’m learning a lot. I can’t use them for a reference or on a resume…But I learned so much that I think it was well worth the money. I just wont tell anyone I went to the school. LoL
brebre33 focused on how to acheive her list.
I want to become a bartender as a part time job during college. I think it’d be a fun way to help pay for it.
