Interview notes

Im started my Bartender career almost 7 years ago in my home country Azerbaijan as Barback. After few months I was sent to Turkey as part of the Task Force team in opening a new venue in Turkey and I got promoted to Junior bartender.

After finished my contract in Turkey in order to develop my skills, I took the job as Barback with Segafredo Zanetti to learn Barista duties and improve my knowledge about coffee.

In 2016 I joined Marsa Malaz Kempinski as Bartender in our Japanese Restaurant Nozomi, where I got exposure to a new cuisine.

During the interview, I came across as respectful, friendly, knowledgeable and positive. My knowledge in pairing food with drinks in Asian cuisine is high and Im very creative. Im having experience in taking inventory and placing requisition orders for the bar.

Im passionate about the bar, and I like having some working flair & mixology. On the below link you can see few of my skills: https://youtu.be/3i9-8ei3Poc
