Re: Put poker on resume?
i don't understand everyone here. yes, if you just put 'I played poker for 4 years in college' as the first bullet on your resume, it'll be headed to the trash immediately. but put a positive spin on it and it'll catch the reader's eye. you don't think making 100k-200k+ as a student stands out?
for instance, i put these underneath my poker playing bullet in my resume:
• Strengthened money management, fundamental probability and statistical analysis skills
• Enabled myself to become financially independent
• Income has paid for past two years of out-of-state tuition and living expenses
I think those are pretty good/unique achievements for someone in college, especially in the finance/consulting industry.
this is a poker forum; if we can't look with a positive light on our hobby, who will?
