Interests Section
Are picnic games (bean bag toss, spikeball, board games, etc) ok to put in the resume interests section?

If it is something you enjoy, I don't see why not. People may disagree with me and I know it isnt some damn crazy interest like building spaceships in your free time or learning a new language every week, but like I would see it and think that we could relate at least on that level. To me, interests should be what you're interested in (unless it is really not applicable like smoking week, boozin or playing warzone, then leave it off even though I love that stuff too). The interest part of the resume is my favorite part because interviewing people kinda bores me for the first 20 minutes. Once I am done with the "why banking" and "walk through a dcf" shit, I wanna hear about you. If we have the same interest, I'll want to talk about it. If you are interested in something I know nothing about, I'll probably want to hear about it. I know it isn't 100% fair but you being someone that I would like to work with is definitely a factor that can earn you points when I have to say who moves forward.
