This review recounts the initial round of hiring for the Cincinnati Horseshoe grand opening, February, 2013. This was a three to four month process. Online application, video interview, live audition, and in-person group interview with the masses, followed by waiting for a full FBI background check and hair test. The final group interview was a pep rally with the GM, then we were sectioned off by alpha in groups of 30 people and led into conference rooms. A panel of four people from Caesars were seated at a table. We were asked to introduce ourselves, and use a word that started with the first letter of our last name (active listening skills test), to describe ourselves. We tossed a bean bag around to wake people up and elevate the energy in the room, during this process. Finally, each person got the chance to showcase their personality to their peers and the panel, by going to the center of the room and doing something, like, sing, dance, a back flip, mime, whatever, but avoid jokes, politics, religion and inappropriate language. The group interview is meant to push you to a place of creativity, and to let your inner light shine! Becoming a dealer is not for those that are always introverted and easily intimidated, or if you have social anxiety that you cannot overcome. Time to buck up. Experienced dealers should already be performing with Caesars 'swag', but do not be cocky or lackadaisical. They will spit you out the door. Pretend it is your first day of work and you want to impress. Be silly, not retarded. Be taseful, not crass. Go big, or go home. Don't over think it, be in the moment and be authentic. That's really what they're looking for. Speed and killer skills come with practice; swing shift will make or break you, so keep that in mind when you do the shift lottery or put in for preferred work hours with your manager.
