How to Develop and Polish Your Job-Search Resume

 

Should I List Hobbies, Interests, and/or Sports?

 

How to handle sports, hobbies, and interests on your resume...

• For college students/recent grads... Sports, absolutely if you are a student-athlete. You can exploit many transferable skills (teamwork, leadership, competitive drive) with sports. Many on-campus recruiters specifically ask to interview athletes.
