Does watching T.V. Shows about finance/money make you seem more knowledgable in the eyes of recruiters?
I know that I will get made fun of for asking this question but hopefully I will get some serious answers. Do employers care that you watched every episode of reality T.V. Shows about money like Shark Tank, Million Dollar Listing, Pawn Stars and etc. Does it somehow make you seem more knowledgable about finance in the eyes of recruiters and does it look good if you include it on a resume?
Yes but add American Greed and Martha Stewart Living to your list.
No. I think it would be more impressive to recruiters to channel that time into reading and gaining more than a superficial knowledge of a subject.
I would not list it on the resume, but weave some of the knowledge into your interview conversations. If the subject comes up, mention some particular subjects that interest you and some of the books you've read.
TV is not information it is entertainment. Dump the TV and stick with reading hard material on the topic.
Don't listen to these sticks in the mud. I would be very impressed by a candidate with an encyclopedic knowledge of pawn stars episodes. Extra points if you also look like Chumley.
