The bartender's work involves a lot of effort, creativity, discipline and responsibility. If you are interested in starting a career as a bartender, the free Escola Educação course can help you.

The professional who stays at the bar serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to customers. They are also responsible for preparing some of the drinks like cocktails and, when there are no baristas, coffee drinks.

Organizational affairs such as keeping the place in good repair and having all the necessary supplies for the smooth running of the bar are also on a professional bartender's to-do list.

In addition to the hectic schedule, the bartender job description also lists a wide variety of personal characteristics and professional skills required to perform this job correctly.

Experience is key when applying for a bartending position. Employers are looking for candidates who can mix classic cocktails while crafting original recipes for signature cocktails. In addition, one must know how to deal with customers.
