Shaking Things Up - Bartender
If you've ever ordered a drink at a bar or restaurant, you've benefitted from the hard work of a bartender. Tom Ostoyich, a professional bartender for 20+ years, shares his inside knowledge of being a bartender and what it's like to be behind the bar instead of sitting at it.
Bartending isn’t just partying and free drinks—it’s hard work. Tom shares the “behind the scene“ tasks of a bartender and the importance of responsible drinking and guest safety.
If you enjoy an active job with a knack for talking to people, professional bartending could be a good option!
