Depends on the hobbies and if there’s another place to fit them in… some hobbies are worth including and some are… very niche / weird and get more eye rolls than second looks

I say yes, because personally every interview that has gone well involved at least some discussion around it

Yes but be genuine and actually know how to talk about it. Don’t put chess if you don’t truly love it and love talking about it

Yes, definitely do! I raised seahorses with my dad when I was younger and I put it down as an interest and everyone asked me about it. Yeah it’s weird but it’s something to break the ice

Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back.

No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

CTC is: PF+ 76185
Salary is: 76185-PF.
PF: 2040 so it's getting deducted 2 times same amount every month. Before salary is paid and after.
