Re: The Myth of the Resume Gap
[ QUOTE ]
Poor recruiters will ignore your resume based on Poker being a scary word
Good recruiters, or those that are poker fiends, will say - "Check out this poker guy - let's meet him tomorrow"
[/ QUOTE ]
I really don't think this is a good recruiter/poor recruiter situation. It depends on the recruiter's personal feelings towards someone who gambles for a living. Are you saying all good recruiters will have no problem with someone who's played poker for a living?
Besides, a so-called "poor recruiter" could still have a job you want, so I don't see the point of jeopardizing your chances by making such a point of highlighting your poker playing on your resume.
I just think it's a lot more likely to hurt than help. And I certainly don't think that a couple good interviews or whatever is evidence to call the resume gap a "myth".
