i am currently working as a host at a chain chinese restaurant called PANDA INN. it was my first job, and have been working there for almost 1 1/2 year. it is part of the PANDA EXPRESS family. i would not consider it upscale. however, it is almost near impossible for me to move up as a server becuase they are over employed. now i wish to seek another job at a upscale restaurant like PF CHANGS, RED LOBSTER, ELEPHANT BAR, etc. I do not wish to start as a host. i wish to be hired as a server. do i have too little experience? do you think i need to work at my current job a little longer so it looks better on my application?

Usually a minimum of 2 years for upscale. The places you listed are not upscale. You should be okay.

The establishments you listed are not upscale like the person a couple of answers up just said. The manager who gives you the interview is the one whom you should impress. Explain that you may not have the serving experience,but are willing to be trained and learn. Have a positive and enthusiastic mindset. Remember,you are applying for a position that demands a lot of this as well as other social interaction skills. When you are a server,you are selling your personality as well as the products the establishment has to offer. I am sure this is all familiar to you as you are a host. Hope this helps.

If they like you you got the job. Education helps. Your 1.5 year experience isn't key, your mindset is.
