QUESTION 1 OF 30
Why do you want to be a barback?
Many consider a barback position a stepping stone to becoming a bartender, and the hiring manager asks this question to determine your motivation.
Explain why you are applying for the role of the barback and why you want to work there. Talk about your experience at the bar/ restaurant and how you would love to be a part of that.
"I remember the first time I came to your flagship location. The place was packed, there was a line out the door, and I remember the bartenders were busy. While waiting for a table, I noticed the barback working hard to keep the bar stocked. He was having a blast the entire time, and I would love to have that much fun while working. So when I saw the position posted, I applied immediately."
