Re: Can\'t Decide, Poker on the Resume??
Seriously Vipon,
Dear Vipon,
All you have to do at job interviews is to be truthful. Playing poker is just a pass time for most people -- you should not volunteer to possible employers that you spent lots of time playing poker. If they ask you if you played poker -- be truthful and say yes, but don't elaborate. For example....
I have a neighbor whose son graduated with excellent grades in engineering at a top rated university. This guys gets almost straight A's, and is now attending an Ivy league law school.
He has played thousands of hours of Internet poker, and has traveled every summer to Europe, Asia and Australia -- he has essentially never had a job.
But this guy will never have any trouble explaining what he did in between classes. His grades are essentially all A's. The fact that you playing poker is not important -- it's your essence that counts -- your makeup -- your ambition -- your goals. Another case....
About twenty-five years ago, a regular poker player made a living playing $5-10, $10-20 draw poker and Lo Bal in Gardena CA. While doing this he managed to get a PhD in philosophy at UCLA. He is now a professor at UCLA.
If the employer likes your personality you will get the job.
Good Luck....
