I know where you're coming from. You want to stand out and not seem like a robot among all the other kids wanting to be a banker.

But keep in mind bankers are conservative. Plus, watching a TV isn't impressive at all. Leave it off bud. I'd only write interests that require a significant amount of dedication. Things like competitions you competed in or programming projects you worked on. Maybe a club you started or something you organized.

People go crazy in the interests section but honestly, the chances it boosts your application is very low. Internships and networking, will be more helpful.

 

Number one, do you have extra space for crap like that?

Number two, If you are going to put interests make sure it is interesting and that it shines a good light on you. Tv and movies don't do that.

 

Nah, TV shows and movies are good for informational interviews and schmoozing events (as in, you guys are gonna have something in common to discuss about), but I would err on the safe side and leave it out of my resume. I mean what would my future employers think if I list "It's always funny in Philadelphia" under my "interests"???? Granted, the show is the funniest thing I've seen since Srubs but I don't think that would make my interviewers think highly of me. Just my 2c

No way, but I understand where you are coming from though. Good luck in the hunt!
