if you don't get the job because of it, you wouldn't have wanted to work there in the first place.

This is good advice, however I am ready to accept a wide variety of jobs if nothing else than to get me out of the house until something better comes along. I'd hate to have someone not hire me for that reason alone.

Mods,

It is idiotic that this thread was moved out of OOT.

PG,

What kind of job, industry, level (how senior a position), etc?

Hope I can help,

Service Manager at a GM dealership. This position has generally 8 to 25 people below them, depending on the size of the shop. Generally a position isn't available to someone with less than five years experience.

Yup. Utter BS. No further contribution from me until this error is corrected.

The mods have made several idiotic moves like this in the past. Most notably on posts by Monty Cantsin and Matt Flynn - as if these guys don't know where the [censored] to post stuff...

I agree, but I wasn't going to argue.

Mr. Sensitivity probably would have banned me for it.

PG,

For the job you describe, I would not mention poker, instead just say you took some time off, travelled/whatever. This is because your bosses here are probably not the most creative/flexible types.

In jobs that are more creative, problem-solving jobs, you are more likely to get positive credit for your poker.

As for the thread being moved, just ridiculous.

Give me a good deal,

don't mention it. the cost if the interviewer thinks gambling is risky or a sin or whatever far, far outweighs the benefits even if the interviewer thinks it's cool. no one is going to hire you because you're good at poker. lots of people will refuse to hire you because you play poker.

Moderator: Mat Sklansky, [censored], Commodus, Dynasty, astroglide - that's a number of candidates for 'mr sensitive'

once a thread is moved, little can be done about it. mat and got are the only people that can do something with it now since they're the nvg mods. also, threads can be moved with or without a 'link' in the original spot as well. obviously it was decided that it should be moved, but still deemed worthy of remaining 'present' in oot. it could have been thrown into nvg without any notice.

dealing with situations like this is annoying to say the least. if somebody gets called out specifically, they have 2 crappy choices: remain silent and receive undeserved criticism, or speak up and single a fellow mod out. i'll remain vague on the action taken in this thread. please understand what a [censored] situation it is.

there are no mods in oot that would ban you for disputing an action like this. don't you think calling somebody 'mr sensitive' is more likely to invoke someone's wrath if they're that type of person, though?

I think it should have been moved to the Zoo.

The Zoo needs more loving nowadays
