Summer Bar work- getting the job?

    I want to work in one pub in particular after the leaving for the summer. Its a really special place, lots of history/major music going on there and Ive always wanted the job. I know this girl in my year has already applied for a place there and she getting a trial day in April. She has no bar experience, neither do I.
    I know Id be well suited for the job even though my parents keep talking me out of it, saying bar work is awful, late nights etc.

    Im an extremely hardworker with 2.5 yrs experience in a local shop, which I was able to open and close by myself and take charge of all money matters when needed.
    Im outgoing, smiley, good fashion sense and am quick to learn.I know the bar owner to say hello to.

    Now...
    1) Are my parents correct in saying that barwork is rediculously tough and that Id be better off to get a day job rather than killing myself for the summer?
    2)How do I KNOCK THE OWNERS SOCKS OFF, make sure i get the job instead of this other girl??Ive only ever gotten a job locally, I was never out looking for a job, i was always asked by the owners to work in a place.

    hi first all bar work is great is the only place you meet people etc, i work ina shop and am quiting to move to bar work this week,
    shop work suck!!!!!

    if u want this job just be yourself and chill and say u have experience seriously once u pull one pint you never forget., r better still ask ina nearby pub 4 experience a few nights you will be amazed at how it will help , that is what i did and i ended moving to londo doing bar work for a year living rent free-is the life!!
    go for it if it is what u want parents only want protect you but happiness is more important!!

    good luck
