Putting "Whisky drinking" as an interest?
Hi,
I was wondering if putting "whisky drinking" as an interest in your CV is something that's accepted or really borderline and shouldn't be included.
In my case, I enjoy drinking single malt scotch whiskies and like tasting bottles from different regions, that have different ages, etc... and really, I consider it a hobby of mine now. I mean, I read books on the subject, do quite a bit of research, look out for rare bottles, etc..
Like any other entry in the "interests" section of a CV, wouldn't this be an advantage if a recruiter/team leader is also a single malt scotch whisky fan?
But, I'm aware it's alcohol and so I just want to be sure.
Hahahahaha. No.
I chuckled out loud when I saw this thread. Although I understand and respect the intricacies of Whiskey tasting as a hobby and interest, its probably better to leave that out.
Everyone will (correctly) assume you're a tool. Do not do this.
Just don't do it.
I'll be honest, I thought about it for a second and then came to the same conclusion as most anyone will. No.
That is, unless you are applying for a position at a whiskey bar. Then all bets are off.
Although this interest might be great for an HR person who also shares it with you, I think, to the layman, you will look like:
1.) A tool/snob/hipster 2.) An alcoholic
IMO, keep it off
It would be better if it were spelled correctly. Still, no dude. Not even if you're applying for sales.
ok, thanks for your advice.
Will not include it
would be wise to not cross the line...
God no.
I enjoy whiskey as much as anyone but absolutely do not include that.
I talked about alcohol at a second round and I haven't heard back.
I would ding you instantly.
...Or just bring you in to see how awkward I can make things.
