Someone get me job in Vegas.

ElmerTLee · Aug 7, 2005

Does anyone have any contacts in Vegas, that they would be willing to set me up with? Im planning on moving out there in April or May, but I would like to have a job lined up for me. Im a jack of all trades, I have an AS in Info sys, and am obtaining a BS in Info sys security. But, Ive done a ton in the customer service industry, know a little about everything casino related, have run a website, done marketing for major online poker sites, etc.

Your best bet would be to join a Union out there.

Good Luck

AK, I don't think he needs any advice from you about "jobs" in Vegas :howdy:

ElmerTLee · Aug 7, 2005

Like a union to be an electrician or painter? No. I enjoy wearing suits. Id also be interested in "jobs" too.

AK,

Generally someone has a knowledge of something before they give advice about a subject. What did you do, Google the word "job" to find out that little bit of information?

As an avid powerlifter, I do have the physique, but I dont think my junk is big enough.

get up

Take a weekend,get a couple resumes and take them yourself .:digit:

ElmerTLee · Aug 7, 2005

Good suggestion, Im sure I will get out to vegas, after foots, when NCAA is slow, to start looking. Just figured Id give it an early long shot here.

WildBill · Aug 8, 2005

Look I will give it to you 100% honest. There are THOUSANDS of people plotting moves to this town as we speak. Almost all are thinking how great it would be to get something lined up before hitting town. Keep wishing. People here are so used to getting resumes of people ridiculously overqualified because they just want a place to hang their hats and cover the rent.

I have seen numerous people asking for a job that would pay less than half what they make from where they come. When someone sees that they usually trash the resume instantly. People here don't want to deal with that unless it is truly a position they can't fill. I have been transferred to Vegas for my job, but I wouldn't have got that job if I applied from outside. It just doesn't happen.

Best thing to do is get out here and show some stability. Get a local license and have local address and number. Still expect some "discrimination" in getting a job compared to the locals, but with the job market booming here you will get in somewhere. Then use the first job to build a resume. This is definitely a town where you get far jumping for another ship at times. Ambition really does matter and is expected so just be prepared for that above all else.

ElmerTLee · Aug 8, 2005

Wild Bill, thank you for the advice, thats the kind of insight I was looking for. I was kind of under the assumption that thats how it would be. Ill just save a little extra, and just dive right in, take a risk of being unemployed in a new town for 6 weeks or so. One thing I dont lack is ambition though.

Good comments from WildBill, I echo his sentiments.

Dante · Aug 8, 2005

Elmer....I think You stated you have enough money to live on for awhile. I would do as GD says just go down there fill out resume's, Dress nice to the interviews be personable during them , Smile alot and be friendly...

and be patient

Hey AK , Bonus blow j#b, you are a stiff.

WildBill · Aug 8, 2005

If this isn't a great example of how a good discussion in the forums gets hijacked and wrecked these days. Unbelievable. Then again not like the "other" place out there won't be plagued by this too...

TescoVee · Aug 8, 2005

This thread was pretty much pathetic to begin with, Someone get me job in Vegas ... yea ok, I'll get right on it, I'll recommend Elmer for a Job .. LOL

ElmerTLee · Aug 8, 2005

Is dealing like a premium job out there? I hear so many people that say they are going out there becase tey want to be a dealer, doesnt seem like a fun or high paying job, I mean there is no way you can make over 6 figs dealing? Unless....you are talking about drugs.

If you don't mind being a mindless tip whore, cocktails, dealing, bartending, baggage and bell, room service, valet all pay very well on the strip, less so "off strip" but still a living.

There are tons of jobs in the Casino, Hotel industry but most of them are called ...
