Finding a job in the restaurant industry can become a challenging task. That's why this 5 unconventional tips are here to guide and provide you with ideas on how to conquer this issue:
1. Use family and friends- give them your business cards, so they can hand them out to people they know or meet who maybe hiring.
2. Network- keep in mind that every new person you meet may become potential employer, so provide creative information about yourself and the type of employee that you are.
3. Promote yourself through Facebook, Twitter, and/or Linkedin- ask your professional and personal references to record a 2 to 3 min videos of your achievements instead of the traditional letter of recommendations. To make the videos unified you can ask them to answer a few questions such as: "what are your best qualities as an employee", "what are your strengths", "would they recommend you to a future employer", and "would they hire you back if they had the chance". Once you have the videos, you can upload them to your page and urge future employers to take a look what other people think of you as an employee.
4. Offer freebies- you can offer your future employer, of course if you can afford this, to work for a week for free. In this way you'll have an opportunity to showcase your best qualities as an employee and possibly find out for yourself if this company is a good fit for you as well.
5. Collaborate- consider collaborating with other businesses such as print houses or wine stores to pass your business cards to the appropriate future employers. You can do the same for them and distribute their own business cards where on the back of the cards they can print your name or a discount they are willing to offer to potential customers.
