An approximate excerpt from a CV, from someone applying for a developer job at the company I work for:
I program in my spare time. […] I also write programs to help me with online games. For example I wrote a program in Java to help me play NukeZone. The program simulates IE and gives me an overview of the whole economy in the game world, which gives me an advantage over all other players. It uses proxy servers to avoid being detected so my account does not get cancelled. All the data are saved in a MySQL database and displayed on the screen.
Hmm. You cheat in games, and you’re boasting about it. And you think this would somehow help your chances of getting hired?
Think again.
Aaarrrrr! Perhaps he thought he was applying for a job as a pirate? ;-)
