It's my first week out of the HR. I've applied to only 3 jobs so far and I have some doubt about listing "Professional Poker" as experience on angellist, linkedin, and my resume. I've gotten mixed reaction from a bunch of people reviewing my resume. Is there a better way to term or list poker as experience?
Also any advice on how my github, linkedin, and angellist should look like?
What did you guys do?
Depends on age probably too. I would have like a 5 year gap if I didn't list poker. If you made money at poker for one year after college and are 23 now you may be able to leave it off, and it may be preferable to leave it off.
On the most recent iteration of my resume that I can find, I only have one bullet point for poker which is the large number of overall tournaments played and my ROI, no dollar amounts. Obviously we know that's lol, but it looks impressive to a layperson.
I think HR could give you better help on the general github/linkedin/angellist approach than I could.
