Why Hobbies should be included in your CV

 

People say first impressions are lasting impressions.

Your CV serves as your first impression, therefore treat it as a living document.

It is fine to be passionate about accounting and designing marketing campaigns, but it is equally important that your employers or potential employers know you love swimming. You know what they say about work without play!

To personalize your CV,  hobbies can help you stand out from the pack;

1. Your hobbies can highlight the skills that are useful to a role.

Let’s say a company is looking for a team player. Having soccer as a hobby will show that you are a disciplined individual or a team player with a strong drive to win.  Having hobbies that align with the behaviors required for a particular profession is likely to make you a better fit.

  1. Hobbies can be used to break the Ice during interviews.

To alleviate high pressure; hobbies can play a vital icebreaking role during the interview. Starting interviews with traditional questions such tell us more about yourself can be intimidating; a short discussion on what you really like can help build rapport between you and the interview panel.

Hobbies should be used to seal the deal and not as your key selling point therefore include them at the end of your application.
