Are you looking for a new career or part-time job? If so, here are 10 reasons why bar work may be the best choice.
1. Because they can be very busy environments, one of the main advantages of working in a bar is that the time can go very quickly.
2. Not only that, but they're rarely boring places to work. The right bars will offer a fun and lively atmosphere to work in. Plus, even if everyone has been served, there are other tasks to keep to occupied.
3. Compared to other part-time jobs, bar jobs offer competitive and often very favourable rates of pay. Many will also offer very good overtime rates, giving you to the chance to boost your pay packet.
4. Working in a bar needn't be a short-term option. Many companies offer the opportunity to train and apply for bar manager jobs. If you like the idea of running your own bar in the future, it could be a great first step.
5. Bars are social environments by their very nature and that also tends to be reflected amongst the staff. Employees within teams often become great friends and find that the work barely feels like a job at all.
6. There are many skills that are developed through bar work that can be transferred into other jobs, including customer service, staff management and attention to detail.
7. Employees can gain a great deal of satisfaction and take prestige in their work, as the staff are often the key to what makes a bar great.
8. If you've just moved to a new area or want to make some new friends, bar work is often the best way of doing so. Plus, you're earning money while you do!
9. Bars tend to offer a flexible approach to work hours, meaning the work can often be fit around your life and/or another job.
10. The skills you inherit will never leave you and should you ever find yourself needing extra money in the future, you will have some key skills on which to turn to.
