LOL. This is just sad. There is a way to include poker in your resume as an asset but it involves actually putting your profits and them being more than 4 figures over several years. This is not it:
1. "ensure longevity throughout the volatility" - how many times have you gone busto?
2. "high pressure situations" - yeah $1/3nl on the strip is so high pressure.
Making decisions for $100-$300 a few times a night. BK should included a link to him celebrating winning a hand at the vloggers game.
3. "Research current and new nuances in poker strategy" & "Memorize game theory optimal ranges" - wow, you must be such a high level player grinding out those $1/3nl games and freerolls.
4. "rapid profitable decision making" - this whole thing is filled with a bunch of words that just sound stupid together
5. "Amassed over $35,000 in tournament earnings in my first year of playing" - how many years have you been playing BK? Your biggest accomplishment is from your first year and the $35K is before taking out your buy-ins, right?
6. "Cashed daily tournaments in Las Vegas at a rate of over 50%.
Have a positive return on investment in every casino I've played one hundred hours or more in." - I dare you to show some stats on this. I doubt you even have them as you are a degenerate. How many tournaments played and how many cashed? Payouts vs buy-ins, please enlighten us. How many casinos have yoy played over 100 hours at and show the stats. 1% ROI is positive I guess. What's your hourly?
7. "use social skills to keep a positive table presence" - Wow, such a master of the game.
If a resume like this crossed my desk, I would 100% set up the interview to just see how pathetic the person is. If he/she actually can back up with stats, I would be impressed but the way it is written is just cringe!
Edit: I forgot. BK should totally put his 2+2 post count on his resume as a stat of his amazing writing skills and links to his Youtube channel and Instagram as a reference to his building of a social media presence.
