1. What advice do you have for job seekers interested in beer jobs?

Research the beer industry, talk to someone who is in an entry-level position and ask a lot of detailed question about the job.

2. Finish this sentence... Beer jobs are?

Not for everyone! Beer jobs are best suited for people who are hardworking, outgoing, self-motivated and have a need to be challenged every day. It’s a lifestyle not just a job

3. Who attracted you to a career in the beer industry?

I was fortunate to have friends already working in the beer industry when I decided it might be my chosen career path. I asked if I could spend a couple of days working with them to get a better understanding of what they do and the demands of the job. The rest is history.

4. What are the key attributes of a successful beer sales manager?

A successful beer sales manager is someone who is ambitious - a strong competitor who must finish first. He / she must lead by example and have a dynamic, self-directed drive that translates into the desire to train and educate not only his team, but the trade and consumers as well. Other key attributes include strong organization, communications skills, focus, confidence, a positive attitude, patience and the keen eye to identify individual’s strengths and weaknesses.

Job Seeker





"My job search has been an extended one and needless to say a frustrating experience.  The economy and the state of our industry is enough to frustrate most people.  But what truly frustrates me is the way many of the recruiters operating in our industry treat those of us who are searching for positions. It seems short sighted to me especially with candidates who were hiring managers in the past and may very well be in the future. In my eyes you separated yourself from the pack with that brief call."

Job Seeker  





"I really like your site and services and have already recommended bevforce.com to others.  Your site clearly provides a benefit to folks like us that don't want every walk of life applying because they think it would be cool to work for a brewery.  We would definitely use your service again."

Blue Point Brewing Company

"I don't know even where to begin to find the right words to thank you for all that you have done for me. I sincerely appreciate all of the time and effort you put into helping me seal this deal. As you said "good things come to those who wait"! And patience did pay off. Every time I felt ready to give up you kept me motivated in keeping my eyes on the prize and looking to the future. I am happy to say that the future is definitely looking very bright all in thanks to you and your confidence in my abilities!!!!"
