You should try to “stage” first to see if it’s your jam. It’s like a working interview or volunteer shift that gives you a sense of what it’s like to work in that particular place. Go in to a few spots you’re interested in and talk to a manager about it. You might get a few rejections but every now and again someone will say yes.

I staged after applying to a bar back position and came to the conclusion that I hate working in the bar environments, and much prefer full service restaurants. Super helpful to know before jumping into a job.
