Interests on a CV

We said a few days ago not to put “Hobbies” on a CV and we obviously need to clarify this!

What we mean is don’t use that word (Hobbies), use “Interests” instead.

Don’t be too worried about what you put on your CV, you’re just trying to show that you’re a human being not simply a name on a piece of paper.

Keep it short and sweet is the main thing to remember.

For instance:

“Interests: Football, Reading and Cinema”

or,

“Interests: Running, keep fit and watching Rugby”

That’s the level of detail you need.
