I knew playing World of Warcraft was good for my career

Now heres a thought, World of Warcraft as a qualification on your resume? This article goes on to explain why online gaming in a virtual environment allows players to gain “accidental” experience in things like problem solving, leadership, teamwork, conflict resolution, etc. Something that savvy employers may look to as a differentiator when scouring piles of resumes. Although I don’t fully subscribe to the idea yet, who knows how mainstream it will become. I like that a senior engineering operations director at Yahoo! uses the analogy of questing in WoW to describe some of the challenges at work.
