Bartender/Mixologist
San Francisco,CA

Summary

I have a wide and varied background in several fields, but my primary interests and developed skills are with bartending/mixology and marketing.

Because I have an enduring interest in people and psychology, and greatly enjoy interacting with people from all kinds of backgrounds, these two interests are not quite as disparate as may initially seem the case.

I have been fortunate to have had many different roles at start-up companies, with roles such as business development, growing and promoting brand awareness, and working with teams of people across channels, collaborating to produce a desired result and outcome for the company.

I have a lot of experience (and passion) in sales, marketing, tech, as well as the foodservice industry. I find service industry jobs such as bartending, serving, and mixology, to be not just a source of work, but a highly rewarding experience.

I am warm, friendly, highly intelligent, wise, and have excellent interpersonal communication skills. I thrive working with others, and always aim to be a real asset to the organization that I work for. I truly look forward to bringing value to your company and establishment, and can't wait to meet.

Warmly,

Tyler MacDonald
