We cover what sort of skills you can put on your resume if you play Old School Runescape a lot. It's a little satirical but it's not far from the truth.
This is great advice, not just in the context of OSRS, but really with anything you do in life. If you invest time in something, think about what it means about you, and how it improves your value! Sure, these are just games, but nearly everyone would say they've "improved" since they starting playing - what have you improved at? Think abstractly. Some other ideas: - If you're big on team raids, active in a clan organizing events, etc, then you could be an excellent collaborator and team player. You don't have to be social/conversational to be an effective workplace communicator! (If you like BA, you might like working in a kitchen...) - If you're excellent at getting through those hard grinds, then you're capable of staying focused during menial tasks. This might not be the kind of work you want to do all day, but if the pay is right (and you're allowed to listen to music or a podcast), then it might be something you end up feeling satisfied by (setting company records for things assembled per day, etc). - Playing off the previous one, do you incorporate tick manipulation into your grinds? Well then you also have a skill for fine motor control tasks. This is not something everyone can physically/mentally do! - Do you like to set and work towards big, challenging goals on your accounts (99s, diaries, restrictions)? Great, you're a goal-motivated worker. Helping your employer understand what motivates you means both you and they will be more satisfied with your work. Good luck everyone. Take what's rightfully yours.
I know it's a bit of a joke but grinding rs in my youth translated to me having inhuman amounts of patience for monotony of daily life and work. People whine a lot i've noticed and those things only make me smile cause it's nothing compared to grinding out a 99 or speedrunning to max.
This is a good way of translating your skills in game into more real life skills which are essential in this day and age.
Playing Runescape will just teach you so much about life. I feel like MMORPG's for the most part are just giant social experiments.

Good video! A lot of people struggle with this part of resume writing. And it really can be this simple.
A little creativity goes a long way. :)
As a hiring manager myself, If someone put osrs on their resume id definately invite them for an interview if they meet the base qualifications.

I never usually comment however, I find this video interesting lol
I appreciate that 😎
Exactly right like I just got back into the game after like a long year and it’s hilarious bc he literally right lol
One of my friends told me that the way I use my bank is how engineers work in real life. So I guess I'm not a failure after all! 🤣
I noticed our bank is very similar in how you organize it. I haven't went so far as to color code things though, but i keep mine neat and tidy too!
