Next time go a little more into detail rather than give 1-2 word answers and I won't be an idiot.

Not charm in the sense of a quality necessitating a bouncer, but in how I'm able to talk my way in or out of any given situation (in this case, getting hired). Otherwise, my ability to disarm people has been useful in stopping three different fights from breaking out, which is more useful than breaking up a fight that has already happened in the first place.

We actually had a guy who was only 5'6" and 150 on staff. But he could kick anyone's ass.

My last shrapnel of advice is learn how to look people in the eye as if you own them.

I was a bouncer at a club here in New York last year.

I'm 6'2 and at the time I weighed 266 pounds and I'm naturally built and solid so I had no problem getting the job.

Actually, its kind of funny how I got the job.

This guy I knew saw me at a little after hours club literally picking up chicks and using them to do arm curls and shoulder presses and stuff, ya know just having fun the chicks.

He was impressed with my build and natural strength and asked me if I wanted to do security at another club and I accepted.

I'm not a bouncer anymore and I've slimmed down to a more toned 232 pounds but I'm still strong as a bull and I'm always ready to kick ass if I have to.
