It Seems To Have Paid Off

As many of my friends and family members know, I'm the type that will work my butt off (working 2 or 3 jobs) to make ends meet. For the past few years, I have been working at least 2 jobs consistantly. I don't want to sound like I'm all into myself, but I believe I'm a very hard worker. Each company I work for, I put my all to try and have the chance to move up with the company. Back home in Hawaii, I busted my butt off at GAP, but it seemed like I would never move up in the company.

I moved out of Hawaii because there was no way I would move up with any of the companies there. I love Hawaii, but it's not a place for opportunities when it comes to the work field. I made Vegas my new home in hopes to pursue a career....in what? Honestly, I was gonna take it as it came. I worked for GAP here and it seemed like there was some hope as I worked my way up to Visual/Sales lead, but hope was lost as I found out they weren't going to fill the Visual Manager position while I was employed there as full time.

I was lucky enough to land a job as a VIP Service Representative at The Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino. I had no experience in the hotel/casino business, so it was a surprise to know that they hired me. I told myself that I would work my butt off like I do with any job I have. I threw myself into different positions in the VIP department working on the front desk, in Palazzo (our Villas where our biggest players stay), and our VIP Phone Central. My hard work was being seen by my managers and my co-workers as I was presented Employee of the Quarter for our VIP department and later on Employee of the Month for the whole property.

When I started working at the casino, I learned that a casino host position is something a lot of VIP representatives work towards since it can pay very well. I found out last week that I was offered one of the two casino host positions that had opened at our casino. There were many that applied for the position and it was a surprise to know that I had gotten the job. With this job, I can finally go back to working one job. I start on the 12th of this month and I'm excited (as well as a little nervous) to see how my career path goes with this new position. I'm just so relieved that I don't have to work more than one job now.
