Re: Help me drop out of school (resume, job search question)
there have been several posts in the past similiar to yours. unfortunately i never followed the results and i think a search would be useless.
regarding your points, i think that its 50/50 whether a potential employer will see them as positive or negitive. heres my thoughts but im a TAG.
1. put law school on it. it shows you have the ability to enter such a program and the wisdom not to persue something you dont like.
2. show poker as a self employed internet poker pro. its better than leaving a gap in employment. i would think most employers would find this interesting and since you did this for 1.5 years and was succesfull at it says something about your ability.
3. describe your poker days truthfully and be prepared why you no longer choose that occupation.
4. i would not include law school and poker in the cover letter. get your foot in the door first before explaining them.
my 2c. gl.
