Filling out questionnaires from various employers, every now and then you can meet with the column "your hobby". Sometimes it does not occur because some employers may not be interested in this point in your life. But when he meets, he is still puzzling. What does the employer want to know about you, what to write - all your hobbies or not? And most importantly, how?
Instructions
Step 1
Be sure to write about your hobby in your resume, especially in the employer's questionnaire, since it asks about it there. According to Elena Agafonova, head of the SMG coaching center, there is a human factor here. “It personalizes the resume and hooks the employer,” she tells PlanetaНR.ru. Only 7% of employers react negatively to the indication of a hobby in their resume, according to research by the HeadHunter.ru website.
Step 2
For yourself, on a separate sheet of paper, write down all your hobbies and what you have ever achieved in them. Now get ready to analyze your notes.
Step 3
Indicate those hobbies that reflect your professional qualities or qualities that can be useful in your work. The position of the head of his sports section, for example, will tell the employer about the organizational and leadership qualities of the applicant. Therefore, carefully analyze your hobbies for the manifestation of your characteristic qualities: are they significant in professional activity, do they show the direction of your movement, purposefulness, the ability to achieve results in life. Indicate only those that meet this criterion. There is no need to mention those hobbies that can in no way be connected with work, or get rid of some clichés. This is empty information that will not allow you to take your profile or resume seriously.
Step 4
Be careful and moderate in listing your hobbies. It is not necessary to write a lot about them in the questionnaire. Optimally, this is one line at the end of the resume. Also, refrain from talking about them in a job interview that is too enthusiastic and overly emotional. Otherwise, the employer will decide that in the first place you will certainly not have a job.
Step 5
In any given situation, consider whether it is worth writing common hobbies like reading and fitness. Sometimes they can talk about culture and commitment to a healthy lifestyle, and sometimes they can describe you as mediocre.
