I need another job so I can make some cash! I have a good job now in a marketing firm on Long Island so I am busy during the week but I want to waitress nights (but not so many weekends) I know that will be tough, but I need the cash and have zero experience...any suggestions? Are any of you waitressing now? Can you get me a job?? Lol...I'm not kidding!!

Re: Waitressing???
not from LI so not sure, but how about applying to restaurants in your area, apply to as many as you can and see what you get.
maybe also try cafe's

Re: Waitressing???
my sister used to work at the milleridge inn (sp?) and they might be flexible with scheduling. also like Denise said try a cafe which wouldnt have the crazy hours as a reg restaurant!!
ETA: The M.Inn has a restaurant part too aside from the catering. But i worked in the manor east a few years ago. had no experience but had to get a tux and did work alot of hours. remember a party is 5 usually and then they want you for set up and breakdown so it turned out to be a 9 hour day - but that was my experience - other halls might be different!

Re: Waitressing???
I know most catering halls hire without experience and they make a minimum of $10 per hour + tips of your good! You prob. need a tux though. Most catering halls do 5 weddings a weekend so you could do as many or little as you wish. Plus...get free ideas..
I used to work at Miller Place Inn like 8-10 years ago....I loved it and made great money while I was in college.

I used to waitress in college. The best way to do it is to walk in to a bunch of restaurants and apply in person. Did you think about trying manhattan? you could make sooo much $$.

Yeah I am wayyy too old to be working until 4am....lets be serious, I will b*tch some people out - I dont care how good the money is!!
I worked at a cafe too! On sundays they had brunch, so i worked a double from 11am - 9pm. Otherwise, weeknights it was 6pm-11pm. Weekend evenings it was 6 or 7 till 12:30am. Just check around. The weather is getting nicer now, so i'm sure a lot of people will be hiring soon.

Re: Waitressing???
just so you know, if you work at a corporate place (ie chilis, fridays) they make you enter your tips into a computer and you will owe when tax time comes around next year...and most of them require you to work FRI, SAT and SUN when you first start for a few months. or at least that was my experience.
i had a much better time waitressing at a privately owned restaurant.

Try a restaurant on the water. Those babies make some bankola.

I hope that helps. I check that site everyday for tutoring jobs. You can post ads on there for free too. I have had no luck but maybe it will bring you some luck. Anytime Thank you!
