first job

So i work as a food runner in a posh pub. Does anyone have any tips on how to work well as a food runner and how to talk to the staff a bit better because i'm so much younger than them and they all already know each other. Also anyone who's ever worked in this industry, how do i best hold three plates? stupid question but oh well : )

As a manager within the bar industry, what I look for within newbies is eagerness.

If I hire you knowing you have no experience, then what am I looking for? I'm obviously not looking for experience or knowledge. What I'm looking for is someone with energy, something that I would expect from someone who has no previous experience. How proactive are you? Are you willing to learn? Talk to your colleagues, have a genuine interest in what they are doing and how you can learn from them. If you've nothing to do, then ask what you can be doing; you're new, we don't expect you to know what you're doing, but I expect you to ask about what you could be doing or how things work.

Diligence and humbleness is also key. I don't give a damn how talented you are at playing an instrument or what and where you're studying. Focus on your work, who you are as a person? Thats something we will all get to know in time as we begin to accept you as part of the family and as a friend.

Good luck!
