Waitressing / Bar Work

[Peghead]

I need to earn some extra cash and was thinking about trying to find some evening work as a waitress or in a bar (I work full time during the day so can only do evenings and weekends). What's the best way to go about this - should I go into restaurants and ask the manager or is it better just to call and ask? I've looked everywhere for adverts, but I can't find anything.

Thanks

your local Job Centre? Local newspapers?

Local papers are usually the best source for such jobs. Though if you are sufficiently motivated, there's nothing at all wrong with asking. It shows initiative. A 'phone call might save you a lot of walking.

You might consider a bit a flexibility; you mentioned bar/waiting on work, but there's other work in pubs & restaurants. You might have to start with something else first. Having done it, I can tell you washing pots isn't as bad as it sounds, in fact it's relatively easy work.

Thanks for your advice. I've tried the job centre and papers, but there never seems to be anything in either. I'll keep looking though and in the meantime make a few phone calls.

Thanks again

Part-time staff who are honest and reliable are like gold dust - once you are trained in which ever job you go for, you will never need to look for work.

Try a quiet bar / restaurant to learn the ropes, then, if you want a change, move on.
