Rubik's Cube and Juggling on Resume?
Hello Everyone.
Being a college freshman and lacking significant work experience, I am wondering if I should add unorthodox information to the "Additional Information" section of my resume.
I can solve a 3x3x3 rubik's cube in one minute, a 4x4x4 in five minutes, and a 5x5x5 in twenty minutes. I can also juggle.
My question is if I should add a new sub-section called "miscellaneous skills" to add these skills. Something like:
Miscellaneous Skills: Juggling and solving a Rubik's Cube in one minute
I know these skills have absolutely nothing to do with investment banking, or business in general but I thought it might be something original and eye-catching on a freshman resume. What do you guys think?
List the Rubik's cube as games of logic or some other umbrella term and use the same tactic for juggling. Then if your interviewer asks for specifics you can mention the info you posted.
Yeah maybe as an interest, but I wouldn't have a section for it
Unless you're applying to be the entertainment at some kid's bar mitzvah, I wouldn't put that in. It's cool and all, but at the end of the day a recruiter won't pick you because you can juggle rubik's cubes.
Focus on a good GPA and extracurriculars. Get involved.
Disagree. Its interesting/different in a not weird way... someone had "watching veterinary surgeries" on their resume under interests... that was fuckin weird.
I've seen things like this on resumes... it actually gets them talked about/noticed. I'd put exactly what you put above on your resume... maybe leave off the juggling... but put the part about maybe the first 2 rubiks cubes. And I think calling it a skill is being generous. Maybe under Hobbies/Other or something.
whatever you put on your resume, you better be able to prove that you can do it.
not sure about the rubricks cube, but if you put juggling, they might have you show them a thing or two
Depends on where you're applying, but 1 min in general is not very impressive for a Rubik's 3x3. If you encounter people in more technical fields (i.e. geeks like me) chances are that someone has played around with them before and is actually quite good. If you can get a sub-20 average then that's actually an achievement that requires some practice and dedication.
