How life intimidates chess

Ok, you don't have to be all cocky about it. 

cocky?

how so??

anyways its your move.,

so  I'll "check" this game  out when I wake up.

"good luck"?

I think there's a line.  Employers want to see you as a social fit in their organization.  If your resume includes personal interests, and it just says "Playing chess and talking about chess in internet forums", you probably won't be positively impacted by that portion.  If you also enjoy hiking, going to cheer your nearest sports team, drinking beer, and woodworking, then its just part of being a well rounded individual who can converse competently and relate with other people in the office.  In short, I do think chess can call to mind images of Bobby Fischer, not known as personable, but it can also just be an interesting part of a larger life.

In no case do I think your chess.com profile is the kind of social media they're going to look up.  Facebook, twitter, linkedin.  Unless chess.com comes up in the first page or two when you google yourself or your e-mail handle or is easily identifiable from your other accounts.

But what if I don't like any of the other things. I know a lot of people believe in lying on resumes but that's not how I was raised to behave. I like 2 things. I like playing chess, and talking about chess in internet forums. If that makes me un-hireable then so be it. 

I was only positing that both positions- that playing chess is weird, and the counterposition that no one would judge us for playing chess fail to capture the whole truth.  That whole truth being, in my view, that you either need to get good enough to make some money off your game, or search for ways to make other hobbies imitate chess, and therefore enjoyable to you.

do you mean imitiates

Aha, I see you've missed the brilliant play on words. Please re-read what I had to say to get the full meaning. You see Kasparov had a book called "How life imitates chess".
