Becoming a Chemin de fer dealer was probably the best job decision I ever created. I had been jumping from employment to occupation doing data-entry and the like, and I was bored to death. Sitting behind a desk in front of the laptop or computer all working day just wasn’t "doing it" for me. Not to mention the fork out wasn’t that fantastic either.
So, right after getting laid off from my last job, I hit the classifieds and saw an ad for a Black jack dealing program. I was a tiny bit skeptical, considering it could possibly be a few "fly by night" outfit in which they carry my money, I carry the training course and absolutely nothing comes of it. But right after I called their head office and asked them about the firm, I learned that the course was for one of the most popular casinos in the lower mainland! They ended up extending their hours and necessary A lot of croupiers.
I’d just been to Vegas for that first time a couple of months previous to and I bet a little Twenty-one. It looked easy ample so I figured "how hard could it be to deal?" At the task interview, which was basically to sign up for your course, I learned that it wasn’t all that easy. I was given a short written test to see if I could, in truth, count card totals and figure Black jack pay-outs. I must’ve done alright because I was called back a number of days later to acquire the 4 week program.
It was fairly intense. Six days a week, seven hours a day inside a little room with low ceilings and also a dozen Black-jack tables. There ended up about one hundred other men and women from all walks of lifetime acquiring the course together with me and with the 1st week, all we did was count card totals and have lessons around the rules and procedures of Twenty-one. By the end of the initial week, we had been dealing actual games. Believe me when I say that there is A good deal far more to it than you think. I was absolutely blown away at simply how much there was to know, and just how much I still experienced yet to discover.
When we reached the end of the last week, there can be the dreaded Table Test. If I failed that, I’d be done. Luckily, we ended up likely to be acquiring it twice, and the best score would be taken. I was in the last group to carry the earliest analyze and I was a lot more than a small nervous. I knew I’d failed that day for certain and I drove house thinking about all of the blunders I produced. The subsequent morning, I felt better and knew what it was I had to do so as to pass. When the examiner tried to "trip me up" while using mistakes I’d created the morning just before, I handled it flawlessly.
I had to wait nearly a week prior to the graduation, and I was literally tearing my hair out. The deal was that if they called me prior to then, I had failed. My dad thought it could well be amusing to tell me that "someone called looking for you" when I had come home from being out. Really funny. NOT. But, 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 acquire the place about 10 mins from my house and I was excited to start what just may well be a life-long and fulfilling profession.
