I would like to apply for the bartender position. I am a trained bartender with a background in mixology for 7 years, but with knowledge of bartending for over 10 years. I have developed my customer service and other skills at high volume establishments such as Buffalo Wild Wings and 80s dive bar in DTLA, Filled Stadium fully stocked bar and fine dining restaurant Fogo de Chao.

Also possess a food handlers card and alcohol servsafe card. In addition, my on-the-job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including the following areas:

• Making a wide range of simple and complex cocktails

• Ensuring guest satisfaction and safety are priorities

• Marinating adequate inventory at all times

• Consistently complying with all sanitation and code requirements

I am service-focused, hard working and self motivated, with a passion for keeping up to date with the latest craft beers and cocktails. I am a fast learner; such as if the establishment has signature cocktails and craft beers, it will be no problem to gain the knowledge immediately. In my course of work, I have regularly mentored junior staff and proposed process improvements to maximize efficiency.

I appreciate your time and will follow up to request an appointment to discuss how my experience and background meets your needs.
