What courses are best to get a job at the end from? I am male.

I would like to do a course which lasts a few months (maybe 3-6 months) that I could get a decent job out of at the end of but I have no idea where to look.
Can anyone reccomend anything?

In your other post, I mentioned bar training. This is good portable job skill material, and I think that's really what you'll need to develop, but really, do it in a structured way. In the same field, you can do "hospitality courses", etc, which adds to that skill set, after you've got the basic skills.

This way you can build up a lot of skills, and your job chances improve dramatically because your skill sets get more advanced, and you can cover a large range of job possibilities.

The job options go:

Bar training > Barman > bar manager
Hospitality > Hotel jobs
Hospitality management > Hotel/ restaurant/ bar manager

With three short courses and the right experience, you can wind up with enough training to run a hotel.

All courses lead somewhere. From the look of it, you're really looking where to start, but don't forget to check out where you can go, with some additional work.

I agree with Pauloz, if you intend to study something you must build to it. I made the mistake of being "all over the place" once and I felt that I wasted a good four years of my life. Now I am looking for a career in IT, however my first degree is not at all related to it. I am now determined to study this field and I am not thinking of taking a brief course in web development.

I just recently hired three people to join my team at our company, a very large bank, and one of the things I put a lot of stock in are the questions asked at the conclusion of my interview questions. A couple of the questions I liked included:

1) What is a typical day like working on your team?
2) How would you describe your management style?

In my interviews I always try to include members of my staff, since whoever I am hiring will be working directly with the candidate I hire. They will sometimes ask questions about the atmosphere, the team dynamic, working with me as a manager, etc. The point is to do as much research as possible about the team, the work they do, and to ask intelligent questions that pertain to the position, the manager and the team. I wish you good luck, and I hope you get the job!
