There are so many jokes about World of Warcraft being akin to a second job that one wonders whether or not your better work-related WOW skills could legitimately be applied to a resume. That very idea is at the center of a recent PC World article by senior writer Darren Gladstone - could your management skills in a virtual world apply in real-world situations?
From the post:
He then goes on to explain the ways in which WoW could legitimately contribute to a person’s valuable life/work experiences. Surely, playing a huge, complex MMO and communicating effectively with so many other people will foster leadership and communication skills, and allow dedicated players to claim that they are “team players”, “problem-solvers” or “detail-oriented, analytical” workers. I, for one, am convinced.
Of course, Gladstone isn’t saying that you should waltz into a job interview bragging about your accomplishments in 1337speak. Nor should you necessarily go on and on about WoW in any non-game industry interview. But someday, folks, when games no longer have a “smelly 30-year-old manchild” stigma attached to them, we may just be able to put our virtual world accomplishments on real world resumes. Someday.
