I'm a wannabe bartender that just ditched a five-year stint at a desk job. I went to bartending college and have been applying to area bars ever since (I live in Milwaukee, so there's a ton of em). It's been rough finding an employer, though. Part of that, I'm sure, is due to that fact that it's summer and the college kids are all employed full time. But I also wonder...what if just putting applications in at bars is not enough?
So tell me, bartenders: how did you get your first gig? Were you promoted from within? Do you b.s. in your first interview or lie about your experience? Or did you just find the right place at the right time?
