So my partner has been in the Boston restaurant industry for years - from bartender to Beverage director to AGM. Currently, he is bartending, but wants to go back into management for a steady salary position, plus he is getting older and his body can’t handle bartending anymore.

I helped him put together his resume + cover letter, and he has applied to so many places, I’ve lost count. He even had a few rounds of phone interviews, in-person interviews, in-house connections, a stage, but no call backs or job offers.

I’ve over heard him speak on his phone interviews and he is charming, professional - answering questions thoroughly and even making the interviewer laugh.

I don’t understand what he is doing wrong and what these places are looking for - any tips would be appreciated!

I used to live at Metro 9 in East Somerville and loved it, except for the location basically in the Shaw’s parking lot. We then moved to a more affordable place in Medford to have a yard and more peace, but our downstairs neighbors are very dirty people - it smells like cigarettes and old dirty shoes, our fence is falling apart and the landlord won’t fix or update anything - so we are craving a full service/newer building again.

Ive been doing a lot of research on Winchester Sanctuary, Woburn The point, Melrose, etc and all buildings have the worst google reviews from previous tenants.

Does anyone have any recs on a decent building that’s dog friendly and not $3500 with decent management?
