E esta, hein?Quem anda à procura de emprego pode cair numa rasteira que à primeira vista poderia não parecer importante, mas efectivamente é. Existem entrevistadores que alegadamente têm ordens para evitar recomendar jogadores de World of Warcraft, isto nos EUA.
O f13.net passou pela experiência e deixou o seu relato:
"I met with a recruiter recently (online media industry) and in conversation I happened to mention I'd spent way too much time in the early 2000s playing online games, which I described as 'the ones before World of Warcraft' (I went nuts for EQ1, SWG and the start of WoW, but since 2006 I have only put a handful of days into MMOG playing - as opposed to discussing them - I've obsessed over bicycles and cycling instead).
He replied that employers specifically instruct him 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 a way to learn project management skills, and he shook his head. He has been specifically asked to avoid WoW players. "
Resumindo, paira no ar a ideia de que jogadores de WoW não conseguem dar 100% à empresa porque o seu foco está noutro lado, os horários de sono não são os melhores, etc. Como tal, estão a ser rejeitados baseados nestes factos. -fonte
Se bem que até tem uma pontinha de verdade.
