- What should I wear? Is black polo shirt and khakis ok, or dress shirt better?

If the bar is very casual, you should be fine wearing whatever. Polo shirt and khakis would probably be more than fine. I'm sure most of the people that interview for that job would be wearing less than that.

- Bringing resume is standard?


[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't think you would need to bring your resume to apply for a bouncer position. Odds are they have an application you would have to fill out there anyways, and you already emailed your resume to them.

- What sort of questions besides job history should I be prepared for? I don't really think this is a job that is about upward mobility, so do I just lie about having goals to make a career out of it?


[/ QUOTE ]

As some have mentioned, you'll be asked questions on diffusing situations in the bar. Do not answer as if you resort to violence to get a person out. Don't lie or anything, but I'd stress that your number one goal is to keep the patrons and yourself safe and only resorting to physically removing someone from the bar after all other options have been exhausted.

- Will I be discounted for being too small? I'm 6'0, 250, lift 4x/wk, can bench my bodyweight, yada yada but I'd have no shot against some 6'5, 300 pound guy.

This is big for a bouncer, IMO. I was a bouncer at a very busy college bar for a few years and I am 6'1", 210 lbs. You don't have to be a big musclebound meathead, you just have to have confidence and trust the people you are working with. FWIW I'll take a sober 6'0", 250 lbs. guy over a wasted 6'5", 300 lbs. guy any day.
