How to Write a Resume for Bartending

By Brian Walker

Writing a resuming to get a bartending job is essential. Your bartending resume needs to take the skills you gained in other jobs and make them relevant to bartending. Try to use the below examples to brainstorm more skills that you have gained in other jobs and turn them into bartending skills. If you can show the ability to understand what an owner needs in a bartender the better your chances will be at getting the job.

Every job experience teaches up a new set of skills. Even if the job you are currently in doesn't seem to have any lessons if you look hard enough you will find them. One skill you see often on resumes is the ability to talk to people, or the characteristic of being a people person. Translated into a bartending school this could presented as using advanced upselling techniques to increase the profit per customer visit. Bar managers love when their bartenders understand the value of upselling, it is a skill you need to make sure they know you have.

Bartending requires not only that you know how to handle people but also that you can help to resolve their conflicts. Co-workers and yourself will often get into difficult situations with each other and with customers. Knowing how to diffuse these situations is an essential bartending skill. Bar owners often look for bartenders with strong personalities because they need them to able to have a presence behind the bar that will discourage conflicts from even happening. Knowing how to resolve them is a skill all managers look for.

Have you ever been to a restaurant where your water glass never reached the bottom and the server was bringing you another coke before you even asked? Did you end up telling a friend about the place? Bars and restaurants are very cognizant of the fact that they need positive word of mouth in order to survive. If you can show the owner that you will exceed customer expectations and get them talking about the place with their friends you will have become an invaluable asset to the owner. Show this in your resume and you will absolutely get an interview.

If you have ever had to maintain an inventory, you have taken part in a skill that is essential to bartending. Inventory and stocking of the bar takes place on a near daily basis. The refrigerators and liquor shelves will need to be restocked daily and replenished at least once a week. Having the ability to stay organized and on top of the inventory is a skill that all bartenders need.

You need to spend part of your resume developing trust. Bartenders handle lots of cash and owners and managers need to be able to trust their bartenders. Bartenders are also usually given more responsibility than the rest of staff in regards to getting keys, closing the bar, etc. Highlight your money management skills, not to show that you know how to count, but to show that other managers and owners have been able to trust you.

There are many bar owners and managers looking to hire bartenders that don't have any bartending experience. Bartenders with experience often come with bad habits and worse attitudes. If you can show a bar owner that you have gained the above skills through your other job, you have a very good chance of getting your first bartending job. Remember to write a resume designed specifically to get you a bartending job and you have taken the first step on the road to becoming a bartender. - 15790

Shopping For Carpenter Tools

By Corey Gogan

Do you know what any starting carpenter would really enjoy receiving? Yes, tools. But, for a more experienced carpenter, their tools are just about everything to them.

However, when you are looking at buying tools for a carpenter, you have to be aware of a lot of specific things. Just because you see what looks like a good price on a specific tool, does not mean that the piece will last and it is worth the cash. A great tool will be more expensive but in the end, it will do its job a lot longer and probably save you money in the long run since you will not have to replace it as often, if at all.

You also should know about tools that come in sets. Usually you get a lot higher quality if you can buy them separately. That doesn't mean that you should not purchase sets because you can aquire some good deals this way at a good price. However, remember to just look closely at these types of tool sets.

If you are not sure of any of these toolsets that you may want to purchase it might even be a good idea to bring an experienced carpenter with you as well!

Another asset to get tips from is the salesclerks inside the store. If you arrive a decent store, they have many employees that know about the products and can recommend decent tools. Also, you may find that these salespeople are carpenters in their spare time as well that know what they are talking about.

Deciding on the right carpenter's tools is certainly a difficult job for a beginning carpenter but these quick suggestions may help with your tool shopping. - 15790

Resume Formats - Which One Is Best For You?

By Cynthia Penfold

It is vital that you keep your resume format looking professional by keeping it clean. You have invited an employer to read your resume, so it needs to be easy for them to read. Be sure to use wide margins so that it is easier to look at and sentences need to be short so it is easier to read. Yes, you want to be professional, but the employer should be able to understand the vocabulary used in your resume. When the person reading the resume can understand what you're saying, it is easier for them to determine if you're the one for the job.

Your resume's format should include a readable font. Do not choose something that you think conveys your personality because you think it makes it more personal. Choose something that isn't going to strain their eyes. You need to be able to capture the reader with your words.

Keep in mind that if you are using boxes, lines or shading in your resume formats, that they can be very confusing if they are not used properly. The most effective use for these types of graphics is to delineate the sections of your resume such as your experience or your educational background. Keep in mind that your resume formats should always maintain a professional air. Certainly, the resume you submit does not have to adhere to resume formats that one would use for an executive position for a Fortune 50 company if you are applying for a position in customer service at a cell phone company, but it still must show that you are committed to being professional in your role as an employee of their company.

Be sure that you use a resume format that reflects what it is you are trying to tell the employer, which is that you are an individual who is professional, educated, and skilled enough to do the job they need done. The resume format you use should allow you to relay all relevant information. You need to make sure you include a cover letter and the actual resume. Be sure to relay why you feel this is right for you and why you are right for the job. You can put your best foot forward when you check grammar and spelling and when you make sure your resume is the finest.

Don't forget to run the spell and grammar check, you need to put your best foot forward. And utilize the resume formats available on the Internet; there are some great templates and examples that can be very helpful to you. - 15790

Dopod 838 and Dopod 900 Comparative Evaluation

By Professional editor working for cheaponsale.

838 with a one-year, and today over 838 have been incomplete, and before thinking about the total 838 for what should be broken machine, I think a lot of 838 faithful friends thought about this question, ten thousand thousand picked after the last election Dopod 900 pro put such as arms. Since my 900 has been a lot of such as Friends of Friends will ask me 900-to-use? High-performance? Better than 838 the number of such questions. Today, I put my own embodied write to share with the Friends of the faithful, hoping to help the replacement friends.

First, from the appearance point of view, the 900 than on 838, to a large circle, a lot of friends that used 900 large, individuals prefer to use a large cell phone, so look it up on the result of people, and 900 are also listed the cell phone a long time , so they would like to join a new is impossible, are now available on the market are back to a new cell phone, I think, as long as the machine hardware itself no problem, then it is acceptable, together with the JS were promised after-sales service, the number of many less also give themselves a little confidence, after all, the prices are very attractive. In fact, accept it is because of people.

Performance, 900 of 3.6 VGA screen, 520 frequency of the CPU, 128 +128 of the memory, the keyboard is very perfect indeed better than the 838 on more than one grade on the keyboard, the 838 and 900 have one, but the practicality and 900 work on a lot of good. Needless to say on the CPU, and one is 195 and one 520, light from the figure 900 on the CPU will be able to feel powerful. 3.6 VGA screen and 2.8 QVGA screen, not to mention that resolution 900 of the 838 are 4 times. Please note that the Friends of the faithful, light from the hardware specifications, performance on that of the 900 are 838 times better (I believe a lot of the Friends of the faithful into the 900 from its appearance on the hardware performance and make decisions), appearance, performance 900 victory 838. However, the actual use of what can now use 838 for some time that the 838 Friend considerable use and stability (often said that the rookie except), currently 838 of the ROM a lot of other documents, update soon, but 900 do? Not, want to find a good ROM that is not an ordinary hard-Yes, 838 is relatively speaking, the resources of 900 small, hard to find a more stable ROM brush, and one test, 520 of the U is not as powerful imagination sometimes feel that with the 195 before the 838's no different, of course, if true then it must surely be no better than than, but really think that 900 individuals are 520 Whether or not true then the U. 3.6 VGA screen, very good imagination can be as small VGA software are often diverted from QVGA, and one showed more than QVGA ugly, that's a waste it.

128 RAM, previously 838, the hair would also like to dream of their own RAM are 128 and 128 can be here today is a so what, the performance is indeed strong, and there is use up the RAM, but 128 of the RAM is not an ordinary charge point, the original 1620 milliamperes with electricity, can see that one of 99.98.97 ...... gone in each frame, with a 3200 milliamperes can only be used in the day, the cost is half of the mobile phone on thick What it does not have any feel, when really miss the 838 days of 1250 milliamperes can be used when ah.

Other words, if a cell phone when the two are, the 900 apart from the data, hardware than 838 strong, the other I really do not think that there is any stronger than the 838, and 838 although the configuration it is not high, but relative to a mobile phone it good enough for us. Or this sentence, you want when the 838 is a cell phone, do not use it as PDA. - 15790
