i've always been reluctant to tell prospective employers about my gaming habits.
My comment to them: Yes, I play computer games, most of the time focusing on mmorpgs.
Scenario A Response: Well, we dont want you browsing forums and web pages related to the game at work, sorry we can't hire you.
Scenario B Response: You actually thought that would make a difference in this interview? Loser!
But if the times are changing, then we all have the following information to support us.
Detail-oriented: I only wear the best gear I can which benefits my class. I always research what I want to be wearing at a certain level even before I reach level 5.
Goal-oriented: When I know that I have 5 quests to complete, I map out a route so that I can take care of them all before returning to town to get my rewards. I have no problems with sitting at my PC and kill 50 mobs to show the NPC that I can complete his tasks.
Prioritizing in a multi-tasking environment: If I have to travel to another zone for some quests, I finish out what I can in the current zone first. And if some opponent is bothering me, I call in some higher-level friends so we can take care of him and I can get back to leveling up or finishing my quests. I can do these things on my own but I'm not afraid to ask for help when I need it.
Working with and respecting others: Sometimes my guild mates (or other players in game) are real idiots but I dont call them that to their face. I send a whisper to another guild mate that I know will agree with me and we laugh at that guy. But on the outside, I know how to keep everyone on my good side because you never know when you'll need their help, even if they dont help that often. I always am sacrificing my time to help them though.
Scenario Response C: You have shown great person and communication skills. You're a real team player. You're hired!
