I got this barmaid job out of 1000s of CVs, and 300 other applicants and interviewees, and my manager told me before I got my trial how many other people she had to trial and to not get my hopes up so to speak as the competition was stiff. The reason this job is 'sensible' is because it's stable and they actually hired me!!! THIS is the kind of competition people have to battle even to get a simple bar job in a small pub. It used to be easy to get hired, but it doesn't feel easy anymore. I cannot for the life of me find any that are hiring near by.

Then you are obviously a tremendous barmaid and an asset to any bar as you were the chosen one from such immense competition.

Now use that to your advantage and secure work more locally. No one is saying it will be easy, but if your life really did depend on it, I'm sure you could, especially as you have already proven you can do it elsewhere
