Hello, I'm Esther.
Multilingual, ambitious bartender from Switzerland looking for new challenges
I've been working at a bar in the outskirts of Zurich for the last 15 years - part time at first and then usually in the summertime. I started part time since I was working full time as a receptionist and later at a tour operator. I worked two seasons in the French mountains as a bartender in a 4* hotel, where I also had the possibility to create new cocktails. In 2015 I went on my first world trip and in the following years - in between traveling - I worked at a bar in Switzerland. I love this job but there are no challenges anymore. I didn’t know much about cocktails since it's more likely a pub. Therefore I made the International Bartender Course in Greece in 2022 to learn more about bartending and cocktails. The course was very interesting, I loved it and after that I worked two winter seasons in France. I want to work again in a bar where I can deepen my knowledge about cocktails. I love discovering new places and cultures and learning languages. I travelled a lot and I want to work abroad. I love languages, this is another reason why I want to live abroad; to learn and improve languages while bartending. I am an ambitious person and if I do something, I do it right and I always give my best. This October will attend the advanced bartender course in Barcelona.
