Good evening to all the community of Steemit.
First of all I would like to say thanks to the creators of this amazing platform and thanks to @flyover that introduce me into what I think its going to be the COOLEST thing ever and everyone is going to talk about it very soon.
I was waiting for an opportunity like Steemit and FINALLY it has arrived.
I would like to present myself with a fast story of my life.
My name is Nicolò Mazza I am 24 yers old and I come from a little town close to Milan in Italy. I love cooking, fishing and playing tennis but the thing I wanted the most in all my life was doing something different then a normal job.
For this reason I went to London when i was 19 and I start looking for something interesting to do in my life, the first thing I noticed was that in London there are a lot of Casinos , 25 exactly, and i LOVE playing poker so I gave it a go and I tried to become a profession poker player; but it didnt go very well.
After couple of months of playing poker I realised that istead of standing on that part of the table as a customer i could have stand on the other side and be a cruopier.
That's how everything has started ; to be a croupier most of the time you have to pass:
- 2-3 interviews with maths ans psychological test
-2 weeks of knock out period (they send home people that doesnt have enough skills)
-6 weeks of intense training
Then Finally you become a CROUPIER.
The Hippodrome Casino is where I started my incredible journey as a Croupier.
I worked there for 3 years and I have seen a lot of crazy things, ( I will try to explain in the future post how is the life of a croupier and what's the customer like in the casino).
At one point I decided to move to the next step and work in a private Club in the area of Mayfair; which is the most exclusive part of London( I wanted to see what is called a BIG GAME,where millions of sterlings are played by a customer and deal that game)
When you work in a business city like London opportunities are everywhere, you just have to believe in yourself, in your abilities and catch the right one!!!
I really love this city and I will tell you more about me, my hobbies and my second job that i started couple months ago that is going to take me all around the WORLD with the only skill of drinking coffee :)
I would love to get your opinion about it.
I am so excited about Steemit and I cant wait to post again and see what's gonna happen over here.
SEE YOU SOON AND STAY TUNED...
Nicolò
