How do y’all feel about putting your interests on a resume? I saw on LinkedIn that some guy did it who was a CS major at University of Illinois and claimed it got him jobs at Google, Amazon, etc

I always say avoid putting your interest and hobbies on your résumé unless they are very specific to the job that you were doing and you can show how that interest or hobby would relate to your job performance but usually recruiters just skip past that section entirely so I wouldn’t take up space in your résumé for it

Never really considered it. I wonder if they got lucky that it was a shared interest with whoever was reading them? Sounds like something you’d do in a more creative position, but I need all the help I can get on these resumes too apparently, More importantly, what were the interests? Something related to the job or like cooking and hiking?

I know my mom told me she got lucky getting her second job from her first post-grad job bc the employer really liked IU for some reason, despite her having little experience in the field she was trying to go into

If you are a recent grad or only 1-2 years into hour career - maybe? If you are mid-level to senior, this could be seen as irrelevant or even unprofessional.

Depends. If your interests are shibari, model trains, and egg salad maybe leave them off. If you need out on programming, landscaping, or furby programming then put ‘em on.

If it's something interesting and speaks to your character or personality, you might as well include a line or two at the bottom. If it's something like you're a hiker and you've climbed Half Dome, someone may recognize that as saying you'll train for something and you're goal oriented. If you collect Star Wars action figures I'd leave that off.

TMI… 7 weeks and have been struggling with constipation (also 2 months post egg retrieval = lots of hormones). Have tried stool softeners, laxatives, Metamucil… now it is literally just tiny bits of mucus coming out, no normal BM. Has been 10 days since I took a laxative. Has this happened to you? What kind of doctor do I even call or what can I do?
