A Real-World Bartending Resume
— Custom Written For You —
Writing a bartenders resume – or any resume for that matter – isn’t an easy task.
Why? Because…
- You have to know what to say, how to say it and how to put it to paper so that it flows and reads well.
- You need to understand what skills and qualities bar managers and bar owners are looking for when they’re hiring bartenders.
- You need to know how to lay out the information in a way that will grab the attention of the hiring manager.
- You need to craft a bartender resume that gets noticed amongst all the other bartending resumes.
- You need to know how to effectively market your previous skills – in a way that they transfer seamlessly to the bartending position you’re applying for.
In today’s competitive job marketplace, it’s not enough to have experience. You need to be able to convey that experience through a well-written, professional-looking bartending resume.
If you’re looking for someone to write a bartending resume for you – one that will get you that bar interview, keep reading.
My name is Reese Richards (that’s me on the right) and I’m the founder of this site, Bars-and-Bartending.com. I’ve been in the bar industry since back in 1992 when I worked my way up from hosting and serving to bartending and then managing. I’ve managed bars in multiple cities in multiple countries around the world. In that time, I’ve seen literally thousands upon thousands of bartenders resumes.
It still amazes me today how many absolutely horrible bartending resumes are out there – how many people just don’t take the time to write a professional looking bartender resume.
Now, it may be that they just don’t know how – and that’s okay. Maybe they’re not good at writing, not good with words, don’t know how to put what’s in their head on paper etc – and really that’s not their fault. But what is their fault is not getting someone else to help them write their bartenders resume; or finding someone to write their bartending resume for them.
Your bartending resume is thee single most important thing when it comes to getting that bartending job you want. It’s the only thing that a bar manager is looking at when s/he is deciding whether or not to call you in for a bar interview.
The cost of having someone write a bartender resume for you is minimal when you consider the big picture. As I’m sure you’re aware, bartenders can make VERY good money behind the bar. On average, a decent bartender can make an easy $100 per shift.
To lend this some credibility, I’ll tell you about my last experience consulting for a nightclub in Canada.
Saturday nights were our busy nights and we had 4 bartenders on and one cocktail waitress. The bartenders consistently made $300 / night IN TIPS ALONE plus their hourly wage. The top bartender took home $400 / night on more than one occasion.
How Much Does it Cost?
Q: So, What Does it Cost to Have Me Write Your Bartenders Resume for You?

P.S – Look, I realize that you’re probably thinking about the price and how much money it is…. especially considering you don’t have a job in the first place. I understand. Really, I do. But this is an investment – an investment in your future bartending career. An investment that will be paid back after one or two bartending shifts.
P.P.S – You can go ahead with the bartending resume you currently have, run out and hand out resume after resume. Heck, you could even try that first. But, I’ve been on both sides of the fence. I’ve been the guy handing out bartender resumes and I’ve been the guy receiving bartenders resumes. And, what I’ve learned from both sides of that fence is this: great bartending resumes get interviews.
P.P.P.S – Think of it this way: the quicker you get a bartending job, the quicker you’ll be making cash. So, it’s like you’re hiring me to speed up that process for you.
The choice is yours – stick with the resume you have, keep handing them out and pray that someone calls you for a bar interview.
OR…..
Hire me to write your resume for you, get those bar interviews rolling and be bartending your dream job in no time.
