For working in a bar or discotheque the aspirant needs to have a definite mindset and temperament. The job is no doubt alluring but is extremely demanding as well as challenging. Not everyone will be able accept the challenge. The individuals with an extra zeal to accept the challenge will ostensibly be eligible to apply for this particular odd job though the person needs to follow certain points.
The first step needs to be searching online, the classifieds in local newspapers and yellow pages for the desired job in a bar or discotheque. Once such a job is found, this should be followed by a hard look at the profile that is vacant and to see if the eligibility matches with that of the applicant. The person should try and look for the features that the clubs have and the nature of activities that are carried on. It is imperative that the person is able to understand them properly before deciding to apply for the job.
Firstly, before an aspirant decides to appear for an interview, it is important to assess his own psyche and appearance. The individual needs to keep in mind that all employees who work in bars and discotheques are physically attractive. Everyone starting from the bouncers to the bartenders has to be physically fit partly because the work is a bit unconventional in terms of working hours as well as the nature of work, and partly because of the type of the people they have to deal with on a routine basis. Hence, one needs to assess his own physical appearance as well as his mindset to understand if he is fit for the job. When it comes to appearing for an interview in a bar, things are exactly the same.
Visiting the bar early with the resume to have a talk to the manager is the first step. Here the interviewee needs to be confident and the body language will have to be positive. He should have a confident conversation with the manager and reply all the answers promptly. Bluffing and hesitating in saying a business 'no' to the question, the answer of which is unknown is the last thing that should be done. If asked to demonstrate the required skills, one should not hesitate to show them. In particular, if the aspirant is planning to get into the job of a DJ or into bottle service, he might be asked to show the required skills. He may even be asked to continue with the demonstration for a week or so. Here is where patience counts and this will help in getting the job at the end of everything. Remember, the key in these circumstances is to show your skills and your tenacity of purpose.
These jobs are not for the ones who are physically or mentally weak. You need to be prepared for even the worst case scenarios every moment as these places are visited by a variety of individuals and frankly speaking, not all of them will be noblest and nicest ones in the world, especially after a few pints of beer or few rounds of drinks. You need to adapt well to these circumstances and handle the situations professionally. And there lies your success!
