Pit Bosses

Participate in information interviews with pit bosses. In such an interview—which can be conducted in-person, on the phone, or through video-conferencing technology—you will get the opportunity to ask pit bosses about their job duties, work environment, likes and dislikes about their careers, educational training, and other topics that will help you to learn more about the field.

Take every opportunity available to learn new skills. Become fluent in another language. It will give you an edge over other applicants since people come from all over the world to visit gambling centers. It is also essential that you practice your math skills. As a pit boss, you must keep track of cash, chips, bets, etc. Be sure to learn some of the more popular software programs such as Microsoft Word and Excel.

Since customer service is such a large part of every job in the casino, try to get some experience in that area as well. A part time or summer job in the customer service department in any industry will be helpful. An internship in any capacity at a casino will also provide you with good experience.
