Hello, I’m going to possibly be doing the barkeep position around the London area in about 6 months for 6 months. Has anyone else ever done it? What part of the country were you in? Any recommendations? Thanks!!
The STA Travel live abroad programs are brand new for 2008, and so far the barkeep option has been the most popular! The positions are usually within an hour (by train) of London or within London itself. When you apply you are able to specify your preference of location and style of bar (traditional pub, dance club, etc) and then we do the best we can to place you in a job that you will love.
Right now we have a number of participants working in the UK and hopefully one or more will be blogging about their experiences on statravelers soon. Stay tuned!
