On your resume

Do you list your personality traits? hobbies etc?
I can't figure out what the point of doing that is. It drives me crazy. I can't imagine an employer thinking "well this guy is qualified, but he likes to play video games. must be a slacker". Or the other way "Well, he doesn't have any experience flying a plane, but he goes to church, so god will guide him.
and it's not like any of you put your real hobbies down when you do choose to tell them *more* about yourself, because most of us like to get drunk and watch porn. |

if it's job-related, it's a skill--not a hobby.
if it's not, they won't care. |

| Well some employers ask what your interest and hobbies are during the process of your interview, and the less they have to ask after they see your resume- the better. So it depends on who you're sending it out to. |

I disagree - the resume is to hook them - the interview is where they get to know you. I wouldn't put anything not related to the job/leadership/career development on my resume. |

I agree, but what I've been through and when I used to hire people..both apply. |

you might as well list your myspace/facebook page instead of your email address! |
