Bartender
One of the top-producing bartenders at this neighborhood Hollywood bar,
this position required superior customer service, customer tolerance,
stress management, and problem mitigation.
My favorite shifts were the ones where customers were lined-up six or
seven deep around the whole bar, screaming drink orders, having to mix a
half dozen different drinks at one time, keeping everyone smiling, and
never hearing a complaint.
Extremely fast-paced and high-pressure work environment.
