Default Re: Poker and Job Interviews

It really, really depends on the job.

I have a job starting as a markets trader here in NZ starting next year. Without poker on my CV there's no chance I would have got the job. The traders loved that stuff. On the other hand, with some jobs I think you'd have to leave it off.

If you do mention poker, try and have good language in mind. Talking about risk management goes down well, as does being self taught in my experience. But yeah, I think you need to know your audience.
