See The next section is interests and hobbies. Yes, interest in hobbies are actually different. And no you shouldn't have a section for each on your resume you should just be interested in hobbies. interests are more vague while hobbies are much more specific. For example, you may be interested in sport like basketball, which means you watch games on TV for statistics and perhaps even play for a team. But gospel itself is not a hobby.

Watching basketball or playing basketball is okay so two different things. Here's important to think hard about your hobbies and interests might be perceived as valuable to the particular role. For example, maybe you're applying for a job in a dynamic collaborative work environment. In this case, playing for a basketball team for several years demonstrates teamwork and can be perceived as an asset by recruiters watching basketball on TV rarely does not project the same value to an employer as being part of a basketball team or Captain team. That's just an example. The point is, for this particular section the let that unless the interests or hobbies are relevant to the role, do not lift them.

Space is precious. And we'll go through this later paced. Space is very precious, since the best professional resumes are about one page seriously. one page means usually about one and a half, depending how much experience you have. Use that space wisely and avoid talking about your love for cats. You know, all that type of stuff, right?

So any irrelevant information, cast it out, stay, like I said before, a financial analyst should be interested in reading the news business section should be interested in in stocks, those types of things that accountant might be, you know, interested in money business section again, right. Finally, keep in mind that resume interests require a bit of explaining Don't include basketball reading without proving why these are relevant to the position or the company that you're applying for, say you, a basketball player, but your role is an individual person's role and you don't work in a team. So that type of hobby or interest would not be relevant. So don't put it in only relevant if it's relevant for the particular position that you're applying for. Here's some really good examples of hobbies and interests to put on your resume. Endurance sport.

First point, sports such as swimming, running show that you have perseverance and drive. Second point is creative hobbies, such as painting, writing, which suggests that you have a creative mind. So you know, if you're a finance analyst is probably not as relevant but let's just say you're in marketing, for instance, stuff like that would be extremely relevant. team sports, like I said before football basketball sure that you can work together in a team towards a common goal strategic games. Chess, for instance, is a really strategic checkers. Let's just say you compete.

So it shows that you're a strategic thinker, especially if you're flying from more of a management position. This is extremely helpful. Community Involvement demonstrates that you are comfortable to collaborate with others and have compassionate empathy. For instance, archery shows that you're a precise and focused person. So you know, it's interesting, isn't it? guarding depth demonstrates that you care about the environment, as well as can be patient with them with gardening.

And yeah, something like yoga or gym is good to show that you're a calm person have control over your actions, like yoga polities, you know, those types of things, meditation. So, those are some interesting hobbies that you can include. There's many, many more, you could simply just google interest in hobbies online. And I'll give you a whole list. But obviously, you want to make it relevant for your particular role that you're applying for. So for a financial analyst, you want to be a team player.

You want to be strategic analytical, you know, anything that shows that you are loyal as well would be really helpful for an accountant, work by yourself, team team sport as well. That you have good attention to detail those types of things. Okay?
