Becoming a Twenty-one dealer was possibly the very best job choice I ever produced. I experienced been jumping from occupation to work accomplishing data-entry and the like, and I was bored to death. Sitting behind a desk in front of a pc all day just wasn’t "doing it" for me. Not to mention the fork out wasn’t that good either.

So, after becoming laid off from my last occupation, I hit the classifieds and saw an ad for a Blackjack dealing training course. I was a tiny bit skeptical, thinking it may possibly be some "fly by night" outfit where they carry my money, I consider the course and nothing comes of it. Except following I called their head office and asked them concerning the firm, I learned that the course was for one of the most common casinos in the lower mainland! They have been extending their hours and needed A lot of dealers.

I’d just been to Vegas for that first time several months just before and I played a tiny Blackjack. It looked easy good enough so I figured "how challenging could it be to deal?" At the occupation interview, which was basically to sign up for that program, I realized that it wasn’t all that easy. I was given a short written examination to determine if I could, in truth, count card totals and figure Black jack pay-outs. I must’ve done ok because I was called back a few days later to acquire the 4 week training course.

It was quite intense. 6 days a week, 7 hours a evening inside a tiny room with low ceilings plus a dozen Twenty-one tables. There have been about a hundred other folks from all walks of living using the course together with me and to the very first week, all we did was count card totals and have lessons for the guidelines and procedures of Twenty-one. Through the end of the very first week, we were definitely dealing actual games. Believe me when I say that there is A lot far more to it than you consider. I was entirely blown away at the amount there was to know, and the amount I even now had yet to study.

When we reached the end of the last week, there would be the dreaded Table Test. If I failed that, I’d be done. Luckily, we had been going to be having it twice, and the best score could well be taken. I was in the last group to acquire the first analyze and I was a lot more than a tiny nervous. I knew I’d failed that evening for sure and I drove house considering about every one of the errors I built. The up coming evening, I felt far better and knew what it was I had to do to be able to pass. When the examiner tried to "trip me up" using the mistakes I had produced the day before, I handled it flawlessly.

I needed to wait practically a week ahead of the graduation, and I was literally tearing my hair out. The offer was that if they called me prior to then, I had failed. My dad thought it will be amusing to tell me that "someone called in search of you" when I had come home from being out. Incredibly funny. NOT. But, since I never got "the call", I showed up for my certificate and I was on my way to becoming a dealer. I was lucky enough to receive the location about ten minutes from my house and I was excited to begin what just may possibly be a life-long and fulfilling profession.
