Turning into a Black-jack dealer was likely the best job decision I ever made. I had been jumping from job to job carrying out data-entry and the like, and I was bored to death. Sitting behind a desk in front of the personal computer all day time just wasn’t "doing it" for me. Not to mention the spend wasn’t that wonderful either.
So, right after getting laid off from my last work, I hit the classifieds and saw an ad for a Blackjack dealing training course. I was a minor bit skeptical, considering it might be a few "fly by night" outfit wherever they consider my money, I consider the course and absolutely nothing comes of it. Except soon after I called their head office and asked them about the corporation, I realized that the program was for one of the most well-liked casinos in the lower mainland! They were definitely extending their several hours and necessary Lots of dealers.
I’d just been to Vegas for that very first time a couple of months just before and I bet a small Blackjack. It looked easy sufficient so I figured "how difficult could it be to offer?" At the work interview, which was basically to sign up with the program, I learned that it wasn’t all that simple. I was given a short written test to see if I could, in reality, count card totals and figure Chemin de fer pay outs. I must have done alright because I was called back a number of days later to acquire the four week program.
It was quite intense. 6 days a week, seven hours a day in the modest room with low ceilings and a dozen Black-jack tables. There had been about a hundred other people from all walks of life acquiring the course in addition to me and with the very first week, all we did was count card totals and have lessons on the rules and procedures of Twenty-one. Through the end of the primary week, we ended up dealing actual games. Believe me when I say that there is certainly A whole lot far more to it than you feel. I was entirely blown away at just how much there was to understand, and how much I nevertheless experienced yet to learn.
When we reached the end of the last week, there could well be the dreaded Table Test. If I failed that, I’d be done. Luckily, we ended up likely to be having it twice, and the best score would be taken. I was in the last group to acquire the 1st check and I was additional than a tiny nervous. I knew I’d failed that morning for positive and I drove property thinking about all the faults I manufactured. The up coming morning, I felt better and knew what it was I needed to do as a way to pass. When the examiner tried to "trip me up" using the mistakes I’d made the day prior to, I handled it flawlessly.
I needed to wait virtually a week just before the graduation, and I was literally tearing my hair out. The offer was that if they called me previous to then, I had failed. My dad believed it will be amusing to tell me that "someone called seeking you" when I had arrived home from being out. Really funny. NOT. Except, since I never got "the call", I showed up for my certificate and I was on my way to being a dealer. I was lucky enough to have the location about ten mins from my house and I was excited to begin what just may be a life-long and fulfilling job.
