The full-time jobs as table game/poker dealers will pay about $17 to $22 hourly, plus benefits, according to the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland website. “I do believe a casino will bring in a lot of jobs and help the economy and restaurants and all the other businesses that surround it,” Berkheimer said. The casino “would be a fun atmosphere for myself and I’m just looking for a steady job with good income, medical benefits and retirement,” Berkheimer said outside class. The class was offered as part of the college’s job-training outreach. Berkheimer, 42, tried to improve his chance of getting hired by polishing his resume-writing and interview skills at coaching classes at Cuyahoga Community College. “It sounds like there’s a lot of competition and it’s going to come down to, from what I’ve heard, personality is a big plus,” said Berkheimer, who lives in Brunswick. The casino said 11,800 people applied for the 500 jobs by Friday’s application deadline. The state’s first casino opens in March in economically hard-luck Cleveland, where 10.5 percent unemployment has created long odds for Berkheimer and others flocking to become poker dealers. After years doing construction work and then trying his hand at selling insurance, Robert Berkheimer is hoping Ohio’s first casino means a better job and future for him, but he’s got plenty of competition.
