I decided to change careers in June after spending 6 years in real estate. A friend of mine recommended that I try bartending, as she started several months ago and loves it. She recommended that I call ABC Bartending, as that is the school that she went to and found her a job at a sports bar in Burien. I thought about it for a few days and decided to give it a try.
I contacted ABC and was very impressed with them. I spoke with Rob, the director of the school, and he made me feel very comfortable and answered any question I had. He also told me that I should check around with other schools to insure that I was comfortable with ABC as my choice for bartending schools.
First of all, no other school told me to check around like he did. I called 2 other schools in the area and they just told me that they are the best, and slammed ABC and each other. I decided to try ABC.
I can tell you that it is the best decision that I ever made. The school was unbelievably fun, and I learned more in one week than I could imagine. Their teaching techniques make it easy to learn hundreds of drinks in a very short time, and guess what, I remembered almost all of them! The class was very fast paced, and never boring!
Within 3 days of graduating, I received a call from Rob asking me if I would like to work at a country club. I was hired 2 days later and although I was only working 3-4 days a week at first, I am now the lead bartender and am in charge of training, ordering, and scheduling other staff. I love it here and would highly recommend ABC if you want to learn to bartend. Although we have a full staff now, and we will be laying people off during the winter, I will definitely
be calling Rob next spring when we are hiring again. ABC, you ROCK!!!
