Yperochi's CV Guide: - Getting started with your cv - Common mistakes with cvs - Verbs lists - Checklist

16. Getting started with your CV 14/15 Interests This is another optional section that in most cases is used to brake the ice during the interview process. Although a recruiter/employer shouldn’t judge you on whether you go to the gym or your travelling habits, interests can reveal what motivates you as an individual and some aspects of your personality. Your interests/hobbies can project cultural elements that are aligned with the company’s culture and values and might lead to a second look of your CV. If you have space in your CV, Yperochi recommends you include this section but be careful though not to present yourself to be “Indiana Jones”. Write the truth of what you really like doing and do not try to impress the reader with extra-ordinary activities.
