Should I include an original sport to stand out
Hey apes,
Fixing my resume for the next spring week recruitment cycle and was wondering if I should use 2 lines to mention American Football in my extra curricular section
We won the national uni championship last year and I have a few ideas on how I showcased leadership/dedication
Is it worth taking up 2 lines of my extra curricular activities section (which is ~8lines) or should I just list it in the additional info line ?
Any input is welcome
I played Div 1 soccer and included a line with 3 bullet points highlighting achievements and my role on the team.
My resume was split up into 3 main sections: Education, Experience, and Leadership & Activities. Under "Leadership & Activities" I had things such as involvement in my University's IB club, case studies, and being on the soccer team.
In my opinion, it is definitely worth dedicating a line on your involvement with your University's football team - there are a lot of former collegiate athletes in IB. Having this section saved my ass in super days and opened a lot of doors in terms of networking.
Hope this helps, and congrats on the chip.
Definitely can't hurt and as an American if I'm interviewing you I'm definitely going to want to spend some time BSing about people playing American football in your country
I agree. I think sports / interests (especially sports where you performed at the top level) are great conversation starters. Allows the interviewee to make a real connection with you and to ask you about something you're passionate about.
Yes, Interests / Sports / Hobbies arent insanely professional, but they dont detract from a resume, and as for junior employees, I think they allow employers to get a better sense for who you are as a person.
Such a large part of interviewing someone is trying to answer the question of, "will I enjoy spending time with this person"? Common interests / sports / hobbies are a great way to answer that question organically.
