Is there any Door staff on here that have worked on the nightclubs anywhere overseas? I have worked on the doors in the U.K. but I am considering packing in my job to do the above because I am well pissed off over here.

Any info would be appreciated regarding wages,conditions,resorts and experiences.....Cheers.

I lived and worked in Ibiza and did a bit of everything.

I can't see why you wouldn't get a job on a door abroad with experience here. Where were you thinking of?

In certain places, like Spain for example, there are no real rules like they have here, (if there are, I have never seen anyone take any notice of them!) and as far as I'm aware British door staff policies are stricter than most other countries.

Anywhere really, I have a friend that has just gone working in Barcelona and another who will soon be working in Greece (neither of them on the doors) but thought it would be cool to hook up with either one of them.

Saying that just getting out of my present situation over here is my priority. I have nothing over here just a house and a p1 which I am selling. I am tired of working in a crap job, I just want to live my life and have some fun before I am too old to know where my life went.

Have you or anyone any idea of how much I could expect to earn or does anyone know of any places they could suggest I try to find work????

Surely language skills would be a bonus.

....or maybe the doorman grunt is understood in all languages.

seriously now, i heard they are paying big money for 'bouncer type' people in iraq. worth a try

wakeboardar

i worked the door at the spring bar in rotterdam a few years ago
no checks
no police vetting
and cash in hand too

ha ha just realised bouncers spring no pun intended

slagmagnet69

How did you manage that, did you know someone or did you see it advertised somewhere. Was the pay similar to u.k. rates if you dont mind me asking?

wakeboardar

i was working as a shuttering carpenter in the daytime
pay was good same for 4 hours as working all day on site
i saw the job advertised on the door of the bar you really have to go to your intended country first to find the job i think

slagmagnet69

As much as I think your a knobber that was funny.

slagmagnet69

Cheers 4 that mate.

As far as work goes in toursit type places, I assume this will be where you are looking, it's pretty much word of mouth in my experience.

If you have mates in places, get over there and get to know people, and just ask around. Most places will probably be in need of staff most of the time. If you don't get the job on the door immediately, I'm sure you won't starve, there's always work of many kinds.

Your best bet for finding work would be to hit a big tourist venue in late April or early May before the season starts, get to know the "workers" and you should be fine.

its just a case of the above. i done 9 months in tenerife, most of the bouncers out there were local/spanish. not many english guys, a couple were there tho. They had a couple of ppl that had shipped theyre cars over and were obviously living there permanently.

There was a couple of russian bouncers at the strip joint too.

Best thing is to go and get to know ppl in the time you've got, it really is the only option because the jobs usually arnt advertised, just word of mouth and cash in hand.

It might help being english as if you're in a tourist place you can communicate better with the pissheads
