To obtain a bartender position at an upscale food and beverage establishment in a fast-paced busy environment where I can use my interpersonal skills and ability to multi-task. Having an impact on the viability of a business and helping to achieve greater revenue and net return while enjoying myself is the driving force behind my performance.
