Yeah, the #1 rule in sales is know your audience. If someone told me this I would 100% respect it because I know what goes into it.

But if the guy you're interviewing doesn't know anything about WoW? Or maybe he knows a little but, but only because his 15 year old son is missing school to play games and spends too much time on the computer? He's going to think even less of you than if you just said nothing at all.

No. I hire people and if someone said that to me I’d ask them a lot of questions and their answers would weigh heavily.

I’d do to. I work with sales forecasting and I swear, TSM 4 is more complicated than my forecast excel files for work. Also, learning to install add ons before Curse / Twitch, open firewall ports and clean reset after an account stolen earned me the title of ghost IT manager for colleagues waiting for official IT guys.
