THE PREMIER BARTENDING SCHOOL in the WASHINGTON DC REGION!!     WE HELP MORE PEOPLE LAND BARTENDER JOBS THAN ALL OTHER SOURCES COMBINED

April 3, 2012 Job Placement Update

Through March this year, graduates have landed over 300 bartending jobs.  And as of the first 2 days in April–we confirmed over 20 new bartending jobs for grads!!  Its all over the region. Most are in the DMV but some grads used our bartending job finding methods to land bartending jobs around the country and internationally. You can see a lot of these grads with their pictures by visiting our Facebook Page. Every week we update Facebook with a sample of grads landing work.

One dynamic part of our placement service is for bartenders for parties and special events.   Our placement office gets direct calls from party hosts, event coordinators, brides and grooms getting married, and anyone you can think of.  During March we placed over 40 grads in different events.  Its a terrific way to pick up part time work…its fun, lucrative, and you make your own schedule.

We also host employers from around the region.  In March we hosted the bar manager from The Park at 14th. Their owner has been DC’s premier club operator for decades. Park worked with our placement office to presceen grads. As a result of on site interviews Park hired two grads.

We were astonished to discover that about 120 different clubs, bars, hotels, fine dining, neighborhood bars, restaurants, sports bars, and bowling alleys in DC, MD, and VA hired grads. That is a lot. Did you know we direct contact thousands of employers to help turn up leads? Its a lot of work. That doesn’t include the parties and caterers or event venues that contact us and hire grads all year long.

Everyone in the region knows the Professional Bartending School.

On our testimonial page you’ll find that we were recruited to teach bartending by a group funded by the Organization of American States. We are highlighted on the most popular website about DC bars clubs and lounges. On our Testimonial Page you will find reviews of our services from local bar owners and managers, the people that hire our grads.

One additional feature is that we are known as nationwide leaders for national reciprocal bartender job placement. It’s a function of many elements including:
• Our job placement assistance is incredibly effective on a local/regional basis.
• Bartending Schools around the nation know this. They want to be associated with us because we are so successful in helping grads get work.
• Naturally they want to provide the same type of effort on behalf of our grads when this occurs.
• Our own methods for finding bartending jobs ranks with anything you will find anywhere in any source on the web or otherwise. Why? Because we have incorporated our decades of experience from many employees, owners, etc. that includes bar ownership, bartending, bar management, HR experience, extensive networking and selling into the food and beverage industry. We’ve hired promoted and fired bartenders. We have placed thousands of bartenders through our various schools. In 2010 we helped grads get about 1200 bartender jobs…and posted the specific grads, the jobs and the dates. No other source can come close to matching this.

Lots of different bartending schools can provide you with help. For instance we are closely related to a Bartending School in Pittsburgh, 2121 Noblestown Road, Pittsburgh PA 15205. We also cooperate with a New York Bartending School at 500 8th Avenue, NYC and another New York City Bartending School at 252 West 29th Street, NYC and a N J Bartending School outside of Philadelphia.

If you are looking at the West Coast consider these Los Angeles Bartending Schools. In fact if you take our course be sure to get the full assistance that includes our “how to get a bartending job” process. Its so powerful that it has assisted our DC region grads in getting jobs across the nation and around the world, information you can find on our Facebook page or by visiting our school

Recently, The Professional Bartending School was featured on Fox 5 with Holly Morris! Click Here to watch us make fools of ourselves… Try not to laugh too hard!

Also, if you’ve ever listened to The Russ Parr Morning Show on 93.9 WKYS you’ve probably heard of Shaqwana… You talk about a crazy girl!! Shaqwana came to us a few months back to get her feet wet behind the bar and try something new, and while she was here she shot some video footage of her goofing off in class. (I ended up stepping behind the bar to show her a thing or two) She ended up graduating with flying colors, so if you’d like to see some of our shenanigans, click on Shaqwana at the Arlington Bartending School
