Scottsdale, Arizona 85260 Email: *******@*****.*** A former professor with experience bartending and serving in five states over several decades seeks a position in the hospitality industry – particularly as a bartender in venues where past professional and international work and travels may contribute to positive, engaging conversations with a diverse clientele. Open to all shifts and potentially supervisor or management roles. Upscale resorts, hotels, bars, or restaurants are preferred, but neighborhood and dive bars are great.
