Can't Decide, Poker on the Resume??

[Bosox]

I'm a junior who's just working out my resume. I plan on applying for jobs in the financial sector, like investment banking or fund management. Every person I have spoken to who either has knowledge of the business or has actually worked there (including recent interns) has recommended that I put poker playing on my resume. I also recently met with a career services advisor who recommended that I do the same, and even put some sort of figures in there as well. Maybe if you're applying to be a child care specialist at children's hospital you shouldn't put it on there (you lousy degenerate) but there are definitely sectors where it isn't just a good idea to put it on the resume, but clearly can be a huge asset.

I posted my opinion on this in another thread... As long as you can relate Poker to the job you are applying for, there is no harm in putting it on your resume. It gives you something you are passionate about to talk about in an interview.

Focus on what you have learned about money, risk, odds... as well as the learning process itself... and your self motivation! You have learned many skills that will help you in any job!

At the very least, it should be listed as a hobby!
