You mean the "things I'm planning to give up for this job" section?

Very confused by these answers - just make it one line at the very end of your resume called “Interests”. I’ve had multiple interviews where the interviewer goes straight to the interests line and we connect on some shared interest right off the bat. As long as you don’t write something really weird, there’s zero downside.

like

Exactly. I can only see benefits and zero harm in including a one liner with your interests, as long as it's nothing too absurd or frowned upon. I think interests like sports are always great to present yourself as a well rounded candidate and can show character traits like leadership, resilience, etc

Probably not.

No. These are talking points if someone asks during an interview. Use the space on your CV for more important stuff.

Depends on what your hobbies are - If you watch tiktok videos as your hobby possibly a bad idea to mention

funny

The answer is no and even if you would like to put, craft it as “interests” than hobbies. Not that many ppl look at it but if any one does, they can ask question on your interest as well.

Unless those hobbies result in business development related to your experience, no.

I wrote hobbies: travelling 🤷‍♂️

Same.

No. Talk about that when they ask you about yourself in the interview after you’ve already hit the high points in your résumé.

Hobbies: Excel, Power BI, Grinding, Cocaine

Nope, no one reading your resume cares about your hobbies.

If you have a couple of unique hobbies (ie not just traveling, hiking, cooking) then I think included one line can be advantageous. Consulting is a people business and having something in common is a proven way to be more likable.

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
