If I was unemployed and desperately seeking a job, I agree with this position.


However, if you currently have a job and are simply looking for a better job, I would include one line about officiating. I put it under 'Hobbies' and simply list "Collegiate & High School Basketball Official (with years worked)"

From experience, this is often something that is brought up in the interview, with most people genuinely interested in it. I would emphasize that work is the priority and in no way will officiating get in the way of my work. In fact, I say it helps me because it is a release from work stresses and helps me come back to the office the next stay refreshed and re-charged.

I also believe it is important to establish early on that I do officiate, because I may request PTO on short notice to travel to a game. I don't mention this in the interview, but I've laid the ground work...
