Hi,

Under the awards and achievements part of your CV,

is it advisable to top up your academic and sports achievements with medals from the e-sport arena such as DotA?

My argument would be that it'll show that you are able to excel in both the academic and non academic field.

Please advice.

thanks.

I think you should because it shows that you're good at something. To be good at anything, it takes a certain quality and you should mention in your cover letter that it has demonstrated your ability to strategize etc etc and know how to work in a team environment. IMO, this is a great selling point.

If your interviewer is open minded and he/she is trying to find someone who has the quality to care and excel in something. This is a bonus for me.

Thanks for the input.

Most of the advice that I got before this was to leave it out altogether.

This is a first. icon_rolleyes.gif
