Hobbies and Interests you Need to Include on a Resume

Should you include hobbies or interests on a resume? Yes, but only if done right. We'll show you which ones to include on your resume.

Many job seekers have trouble figuring out what hobbies and interests to include on a resume. Should you even include hobbies and interests on your resume?

The answer is that it depends on where you are in your career and what your hobbies or interests are. You may like juggling, traveling and fishing. But for most jobs, that’s irrelevant.

Say you were an employer looking to fill a web developer position. Which candidate would you choose?

A or B

You can clearly see that candidate B has more relevant interest and activities.

You should think of hobbies or interests that are relevant and show why you’re a good fit for the job. This section could be an excellent way to show the employer you’re a good fit outside of the experience section.

I found this quite useful. Thank you. Also could you please tell me what is the animation software that you have used to create it?

I think that the hobbies and interest should show that your a human with a personality and not a robot. it would make you look boring if you put "I like solving complex coding problems" I mean that sounds like you have no personality
