Poker and Job Interviews

[ianisakson]

With my small sample size of job interviews I have had pretty good success mentioning my poker playing. The key is to translate why being a good poker player makes you a better candidate for the position you are applying for. Analytical thinking, money and time management, the competetive nature it takes to be a good poker player are usually awesome selling points to job interviewers. Obviously stay away from spewing your results out, and stick with boasting the skills it takes to be good.
