Most employers think you should spend 24x7 on their job, and want people who have no outside life (with the exception of those who need a certain percentage to be involved with charitable work to qualify for some tax break or another.) As someone who had hired many, and reviewed hundreds of resumes for 4 companies, take my word for it. |

I am a sales manager. That is not the case. But even for other types of positions, personal interests are a no-no.

Funny thing about this I have worked in sales for years. Sales jobs love the fact that I officiate. They want very competitive people and people who can set goals and achieve those goals. You seemed to be unusual in that respect. Peace

I'm with Rut. I was a little unclear about how I include officiating on my resume. I do not put hobbies and interests on. I also include my officiating under my work experience. I'm not sure exactly the heading I put it under, but I agree that you shouldn't have hobbies and interests on a resume.

That is why I suggested putting it under certifications, professional designations, etc. That elevates it from the "hobby" category. It could even be under "civic" with things like planning commission, zoning board, etc. But, think about it for a moment. If you put down referee or officiating as a hobby or personal interest, it can only serve as an eliminator. If you put down a designation or certification, it can be a conversation starter. You can relate how you handle difficult situations, are detail oriented by having to know the rules, can show how you have people skills that can translate into the workplace, etc. In other words, it is a training ground that uses many skills that can help an individual become an even better employee.

Rut--Re-read my post. I am not suggesting it be put as a hobby. In fact quite the opposite. I became certified by our state association, therefore I would put IAABO under a section for professional designations or under civic or community involvement. In fact there should NEVER be a section on a resume entitled "Hobbies" or "personal interests" and that is the point I and others were trying to make.

Once again this is all based on the type of job you are going for and the industry standards. I worked at Dominos Pizza when I was in college and I know that would not end up on my resume for any professional job. Not all jobs are relevant or necessary. You put the things that are relevant to the job you are trying to get. At least that is my experience and I have hired people as well. I do not care what people put on their resume as long as some of the skills apply to the job. Peace

If it irritates you because I gave an opinion, then that shows you are not a person that I would want to neither work with nor hire. BTW, I was not the only one that commented about your point of view. I guess it is my fault you do not know how to get your point across. Peace
