In case you wanted an excuse for listing your WoW time as a benefit on your resume we have new evidence that you should.  Check out this new article on Yahoo Hot Jobs.

Elliot Noss, chief executive of domain-name provider Tucows, has spent the past five years training to become a better leader. How? By playing World of Warcraft for six to seven hours a week.

"You have these events [in World of Warcraft] that are very leadership-driven," Noss says. "For example, when you're in a raid that's poorly led, it's really easy to see how valuable are skills like managing the social dynamic, making sure there was the right level of preparation, and making sure that there was a clear hierarchy in terms of who is performing what roles."

The rest talks about how working in instances and other quests is teaching you skills to use in the real world.
