The more you know and understand about the gaming industry and casinos in general, the more marketable you will be. Learn as much as you can about the gaming industry. Visit Web sites such as the University of Nevada-Las Vegas Center for Gaming Research (https://gaming.library.unlv.edu/) to get the latest gaming news. Take a couple of classes at a gaming institute.
Casino credit manager openings are often advertised on casino job hotlines. Call each casino (or visit their Web site) to get their job hotline phone number. You can also visit casino job Web sites such as Casino Careers (http://www.casinocareers.com/) to search for job openings.
Look for casino job fairs hosted by specific casinos. These will give you an opportunity to meet with the casino human resource department representatives, get information, and even be interviewed on the spot. Be sure to dress professionally and bring resumes with you.
Note other languages in which you are fluent on your application or during your interview. While not required, the ability to speak a second language will often give one applicant an edge over another.
If you are still in school, look for an internship in the credit department of a casino, an auto dealership, or furniture store. Each will provide you with good experience.
