What social impression does it give of an internship applicant who mentions Greek/Roman mythology and psychology among his interests in the "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION" section of his resume.

Keep skills and languages, for "current activities" put "CFA level 1/2/3 candidate" but if you're just taking the level 1 then I'd remove it from your resume altogether. Bring it up in the interview.Take out multi-player video games.. and skipping rope. Arguably take out a lot more. If you must put hobbies then put stuff like Snowboarding, piano, leatherworking, restoring a classic car, things that are either impressive or social.Love the blacklist by the way. Take out that entire section though. Your resume is a marketing tool to get people to notice your credentials and qualifications. It's not a dating profile. Your job of getting them to like you will be done at the interview.

Part of me thinks you're insane. I ran track. Only masochists enjoy the 800m.
