<p>I work at a nightclub bartending/hosting/waitressing and while I am proud of the fact that I work full time and have saved a considerable amount of money for tuition, including enough money to take classes at UCB summer session and their extension program, I'm a little afraid of this type of work experience being viewed negatively. Is it okay to be vague? Can I tweak it a little and say I waitress full time at a nice restaurant? Do they require the name of the place and do you think they would call to verify?</p>
<p>It ill not be viewed negatively at all. UCs really like to hear about work experience, particularly if it was to pay for school or to help out the family.</p>
<p>I would think any work experience is better than none, as long as you aren’t doing anything illegal, especially if you’re using the money for your education.</p>
<p>As for whether they would check, no one really knows. I highly doubt they have the time to check whether peoples EC’s are true or not, but you never know.</p>
<p>That’s what I thought. I just really don’t want them to google the club I work at and see a bunch of fliers advertising people to get wasted lol. Not to mention this club also has a big reputation for a lot of people taking drugs. I’d rather just say I work nights at a Denny’s or something. Even though what I’m doing is legal and I don’t actually sell drugs, do them, or drink on the job, I’d rather not have those types of things on their mind. I think I’ll just put that I work an average of x amount of hours a week waitressing.</p>
