Your mouth is dry, your palms are sweaty, your heart is
beating so fast it feels like it is going to pop out of
your chest!

Sound familiar?

For most people, interviews are uncomfortable. The mere
thought of them causes anxiety and nervousness... and this 
is the last impression you want to give a bar manager during
an interview!

The competition is fierce in this industry, so why do you
always “bomb” during your interviews?

You probably walk out of them and after the fact think of
all the things you could of said, how you could of answered
certain questions, but this does not matter, its how you
perform during the interview that gets you the job.

Theres already enough things out of your control you are
competing with, so why work against yourself?

Let me show you how to be in your full power during the
interview, so that scoring your dream job and leaving the
competition in the dust comes easily and effortlessly to
you!

1) Dress The Part

Dress as thought you already work there, give the
interviewer a rock solid visual of what youd look like
behind the bar... this makes it more probable hed consider
you for the job.

Remember also that this is the service industry! Unless you
are applying to a five star hotel, theres no reason to show
up in a suit and tie for the interview. This is trying too
hard. Wear the same type of attire the employees wear.

2) Eye Contact

If you cant bring yourself to make eye contact with the
interviewer, you can forget about getting the job.

When asked a question, if your look to the floor or to the
side when answering it gives the impression you are not
telling the truth for starters, but it also represents a
lack of confidence, which is not something you find among
good bartenders.

Look the person in the eye when speaking and more
importantly, listening. This is easier said then done if
you are in a habit of not doing it. But just becoming aware
of it is it all takes.

3) Act As If

There is no better remedy out there than “acting as if....”
Act is if you are the best bartender this person has ever
seen. Walk into the interview with that attitude and youll
be surprised at the energy you feel. You will tap into raw
genius that you never thought you had! You will answer
questions elegantly give the interviewer exactly what they
want to hear.

4) Be Direct

Rambling and excessive talking is a sign of nervousness so
avoid this at all costs. Be as direct and to-the-point as
possible. Not in a rude way, just answer the questions
without going overboard. The interviewer will appreciate
this.

5) You Ask The Questions

This may sound like a shock to you, but it is not the
interviewer that should be asking all the questions during
an interview. The way you want to approach an interview
from this point on is... you are interviewing them! You may
find that they are not the best place to work for after all.

Have your own list of questions to ask the interviewer!!!
The one who asks the questions is in control, this is not
to say to not let them ask you any questions, but have some
of your own to balance things out. This shows
professionalism, dedication and preparation.
