Looking for a new job

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.

I read exactly what you said the first time. No one but you suggested that it be under the hobby title and I was not commenting on what section you put it under. I am stating that is a job and should be treated just as any other job if you are going to put it on your resume. That is why I keep talking about taking money and filing taxes as an official.

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
