Hey,
this is my resume for first time jobs in the finance related industry, I can swap in and out different courses in the top section to make it more job appropriate (aka accounting courses for accounting job).
Also I have played poker for past 2 years professionally as well as coached other poker players to be more sucessful, I normally leave this off, but just wondering your thoughts on this as well.
any and all harsh comments welcome :)






Any sophomore with an
Any sophomore with an internship is more qualified for full-time work than you are.
As it stands, no one is going to hire you for anything except insurance sales. Were I in your shoes, and with that target school degree, I'd look for a solid internship somewhere and covertly stab my boss so I can get hired while he's on medical leave.

@kidflash @unforseen Ok so should I just write a quick point in Other Experiences about my poker experience.
Something like
• Used well-developed analytical skills to extract meaningful information from various databases and successfully managed risk to generate over $150 000 in three years playing poker online
and thoughts on my poker coaching/training work?
• Coached and trained struggling or losing poker players and sucessfully increased their income from poker
Or should I replace teaching experience with that and leave other experience alone?
thanks for the critique
maybe: professional poker
maybe:
professional poker [indention] date
• pnl
• size? (micro stakes, 2/5, etc)
• bs about risk management
• coaching results (before and after of player incomes?)
• coaching methods
does that sounds ok?
