Hi,

If your free and single then do it, any experience is a good experience in my book

Work like anywhere is hard to come by, but if your hard working you will get something

Good luck

Welcome to ACD! Don't get offended if yo don't get a lot of help here for your move. We get new members here all the time that want to move including me. If you give the forum a good read/search I'm sure you will find plenty of info. Like this thread viewtopic.php?f=16&t=16605 Also, you have to have a SVH (Social Hygiene) certificate to work behind the bar. Read this old job ad for reference viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18394

Peace

Hello Brian and welcome.
I was in town for a few days up until yesterday and during my walkabouts saw at least 4 bar staff jobs on offer advertised in the windows of the respective establishments.
They were decent places in and around Nieuwmarket and Zeedijk doing drink and food, applicants to drop in personally with CV on at least 2 of them. They want to see what they're getting not just 'fairytales' by e-mail.
Get a cheap flight on a Mon-Weds and trawl on foot during the daytime when it is quiet.
Good luck fella
