  Table Games Dealer

  In this role I was responsible for delivering excellent customer service while maintaining table security and game accuracy. I performed accurate and swift cash handling, often with large amounts, and was responsible for company assets of considerable value while at a table (the chips in my float). I was also responsible for the well-being of my patrons, and was trained to identify and report signs of intoxication or gambling addiction. Punctuality, and the ability to follow correct procedures were important, especially with issue reporting. I was required to be be adaptable and able to move between tasks, as a typical shift often involved dealing several different games, cash and chip handling, table fills/credits, and opening/closing tables. I needed to stay focused for long periods of time, as I needed to be accurate and consistent throughout my shift. Finally, I displayed excellent communication skills, and was able to efficiently explain game rules to patrons, often without disrupting game flow, and have been praised for my skill at this.

This included learning objects within a course; learning resource hubs for programmes; and a major project: the creation of the University of Auckland's Learning Essentials site.This project spanned 2019 and involved a review of both existing material; a review of research into the area and methodologies used; partnership with students throughout the design process; the co-ordination of a large number of content specialists (both in smaller teams and across the project); editorial oversight for a coherent approach; content generation; training 20+ team members in the use of Wordpress and Divi; QA and accessibility reviews; metatagging and SEO, to create an easily navigable, transparent, user-friendly and appropriate-for-web resource that all students at the University of Auckland can use.https://learningessentials.auckland.ac.nz/ Show less Worked closely with a Learning Designer, Graphic Designer, and Content Specialists to develop courses through Articulate Storyline 360 as part of a project team creating online resources for the STEM Online NZ project- primarily for secondary students studying physics and mathematics while I was involved.Day to day, I resolved design challenges to create highly interactive content, and worked to integrate our resources with the CANVAS Learning Management System and SCORM Cloud.

I proofread and edited parts of the site, and made adjustments to visuals, layout and content as required. I created interactive web objects including media galleries, presentations and activities. I helped draft ideas for content visualization, and arranged for usability testing of the various modules, which involved reaching out to students and staff members to build a database of interested students as well as scheduling testing sessions.
