Interesting thread over at f13.net forums. They have been discussing a post made about a game player who met with a recruitment consultant friend, and was discussing WoW. The general theme is:
“Employers specifically instruct him (as a recruitment agent) not to send them World of Warcraft players. He said there is a belief that WoW players cannot give 100% because their focus is elsewhere, their sleeping patterns are often not great, etc. I mentioned that some people have written about MMOG leadership experience as a career positive or as a way to learn project management skills and he shook his head. He has been specifically asked to avoid WoW players.”
WoW players might not be attractive to some in business, but players post-WoW can be well motivated and be useful employees, having seen the light and moved on. check out the post and make you own assessment.
