Turning into a Black jack dealer was almost certainly the most beneficial career choice I ever manufactured. I had been jumping from work to task doing data-entry and the like, and I was bored to death. Sitting behind a desk in front of a computer system all morning just wasn’t "doing it" for me. Not to mention the pay out wasn’t that fantastic either.
So, immediately after becoming laid off from my last employment, I hit the classifieds and saw an ad for a Black jack dealing training course. I was a small bit skeptical, pondering it may possibly be some "fly by night" outfit exactly where they consider my money, I consider the training course and nothing comes of it. But immediately after I called their head office and asked them about the firm, I discovered that the program was for one of the most popular casinos in the lower mainland! They were definitely extending their several hours and required A lot of croupiers.
I’d just been to Vegas for the first time a couple of months previous to and I bet a minor Pontoon. It looked easy enough so I figured "how hard could it be to offer?" At the employment interview, which was basically to sign up with the program, I learned that it wasn’t all that easy. I was given a short written test to determine if I could, in reality, count card totals and figure Black-jack pay outs. I must’ve done alright because I was called back a few days later to consider the four week program.
It was rather intense. Six days a week, seven hours a evening in a little room with low ceilings along with a dozen Pontoon tables. There had been about one hundred other men and women from all walks of life getting the program together with me and for the first week, all we did was count card totals and have lessons on the rules and procedures of Black jack. Through the end of the first week, we were dealing actual games. Believe me when I say that there is A great deal additional to it than you believe. I was entirely blown away at just how much there was to learn, and simply how much I nevertheless experienced yet to understand.
When we reached the end of the last week, there could be the dreaded Table Test. If I failed that, I’d be done. Luckily, we were definitely likely to be using it twice, and the best score could be taken. I was in the last group to carry the first test and I was a lot more than a small nervous. I knew I’d failed that day for certain and I drove residence thinking about all of the mistakes I created. The following day, I felt much 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 produced the evening prior to, I handled it flawlessly.
I had to wait virtually a week ahead of the graduation, and I was literally tearing my hair out. The deal was that if they called me ahead of then, I’d failed. My dad believed it could be amusing to tell me that "someone called looking for you" when I had arrived 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 obtain the location about ten minutes from my house and I was excited to start what just may be a life-long and fulfilling job.
