Bartender is a guy generally hired by bars, restaurant and hotels to make and serve beverages & drinks. A bartender’s job role varies depending on the employer. Every bartender might have a different job role. He/she might also need to hire and give training to new staff. He/she also needs to manage other members under him, mostly bar steward or junior bartenders.
His/her duty might also include cleaning the bar, opening and closing the bar, checking identity and managing the payment. As I mentioned earlier, the task of bartender varies depending on the employer requirement and situation.
Moreover, drinking and clubbing is a night activity. Hence, bartenders usually work nights into the morning.
Bartending is one of the coolest jobs [until you actually start doing it].
There are different types of bartenders. I tried to collect as many bartender resume samples as I can so that you get more options.
