Finding Bartending Jobs

My Strategy, Experiment, and Advice for finding a sweet bartending gig

So I'm moving to Honolulu, Hawaii in about three weeks and I know one thing for certain. I want a bartending job there once I arrive.

There are a couple of reasons why... of course there's the usual list of reasons to be a bartender, but for me I really want to meet people who live in Honolulu. I won't know anyone once I get there, so bartending would be a great way to do this. It sure beats sitting in cubicle calling people who hate my guts!

So here's what I'm doing to land a great bartending job in Honolulu. I'll follow up with the results as well and track my progress so that you can see if it actually works.

Step 1:
Your Resume

Step 2:
Starting Your Job Search - Stop looking on craigslist and find a bar that would be a great fit for you.

Step 3:
Who's Hiring You? - Discovering who holds the decision making power to your bartending job.

Step 4:
Mapping your bartending plan of attack - and stopping by.

Step 5:
Following up

Step 6:
The Interview

Step 7:
Accepting and Negotiating the Job

Hopefully you'll find this a great resource for finding bartending jobs. Like anything you truly want in life, it'll require some hard work, but the rewards will be well worth it when you land a great job.
