Anyone put unusual stuff under Interest section of Resume?

Much greater risk than reward.

Define weird, if you like speed golf (where your score is strokes+time to run the course) I don't see it as being that big of a deal, but if it's your interest is in something that may shock or offend leave it off.

I'm a student coach (as a Freshman) for my Uni's Army ROTC Drill Team so I put that under interest. Don't think they'll see many of that so I hope it gets at least noticed.

Not sure if that's weird though.

Competitive strength and conditioning. Attending sporting events and music festivals. My two most "unique" items, even though they aren't unique. I'd play it safe as more risk than reward, but don't be afraid to put something just because it doesn't "check off a box."

exotic and rally car racing. bitches.

I work at an MBB firm, and generally being a little (not too much) out of the box with interests is a positive. One of our interviewees last year put "Can rap" or something on her resume. The partner interviewing made her do it. Apparently she wasn't kidding, we hired her (that kind of thing indicates good fit!).

How about pyrotechnics?

Magnets.

don't even put an interest section on your resume.

It's fine. Just use common sense and don't write anything that might be considered offensive. Speaking from personal experience, things along the lines of pyrotechnics are fine. Exotic dancing, probably not.

Many interviewers are looking at your resume for the first time and it's good to have something jump out.

midget tossing

Little green ghouls.

i have one or two unique things - kind of adrenaline junkie status a lot of people ask me about it

Interests: Golf, Cooking, Big Butts

Just kidding....I hate golf and cooking.

If you're really good at something, then definitely. I heard of someone getting a job at a major asset manager by including that they were a circus performer. This was directly from DoR.

I have skeet and clay shooting and home beer brewing under my interests. I often get a lot of questions about the beer -- people seem to respond well to it.

I have hunting on mine, and at my current role that's what got me the job. Interviewer (and current boss) is an avid hunter and we spent most of the interview talking about pheasant hunting and sharing sausage recipes. It paid off for me as the companies a pretty old school O&G show. ie. take a walk through the salesmen floor and all you see are stuffed cougars, bear skulls, trout mounted on plaques and beer fridges.
