So in my first post on weird ads for hospitality jobs, I mentioned both a position catching chickens and being a “glassy” here. What I found hilarious about the “glassy” job was that it required a resume and preferably previous “experience”. I am not mocking the job at all as it is an integral part of running a bar smoothly but come on, it’s not exactly really hard nor technical. The Aussie slang for a glass collector is what makes me laugh and requiring a resume blows my mind…really, who cares what schools you went to when all you do is collect empty glasses and clean them in a bar?
Anyway, I found yet another add for “glassies” but thank goodness this bar has simpler expectations – they just want applicants to ring the bar and better yet, no experience is necessary. Maybe I should apply for this job just to see what a real “glassy” does.
Hey, I’m interested in becoming a “Glassie”. Where do I send my resume? lol
If you didn’t tell me what exactly was the job description of a “Glassie”, I’d assume it’s either a glass blower (an art) or a window washer.
Of course we all know the equivalent job title of a “Glassie” here in the states is a BARBACK.
I’m not sure which one sounds more – or less glamorous, though. lol
Pomai, I forgot about the term “barback”. Yeah, not sure which sounds better – they are both unglamorous sounding…
