For a trading job on the Street, it is great to mention it. Some firms, such as Susquehenna, have poker training for their traders.

I look at resumes for a number of candidates for computer programming types of jobs and I always think of the interest section as a place to see if there are any overlaps worth making conversation about in an interview. Personally, I'd think of poker as a small plus (and we have office poker about once a month), but I imagine there are more people who would react strongly negative to it then there are people who would react strongly positive to it.
If what you did for a few months/years was played poker professionally then I'm not sure if having an unexplained gap might be better or worse than filling it in with your self-employed applied risk analysis specialist job. |

I sent an email with a copy of my resume to a guy for a trader position. I explained why I thought poker was relevant to the job position in the email, but I would never put it on my resume. Save poker talk for those types of jobs or maybe bring it up in an interview, but not on your resume. If you feel the need to mention our hobby do what I did.
Interests Ice Hockey, Golf, Barbecuing, Watching College Football, Poker Yes I put Barbecuing ahead of it |
