Expert Advice

The Personal section of your resume includes relevant contributions outside the workplace, i.e. team sports, volunteer work, service clubs, community involvement, etc. This is an opportunity to focus the reader on your desire to contribute, lead, or be involved in worthwhile causes and personal hobbies. Use discretion in listing interests and hobbies. List a hobby only if it is directly job-related or indicates certain positive qualities (e.g., team sports may indicate a "team player"). If outside interests are encouraged and respected as part of your target company’s "culture," include pertinent hobbies.

The Personal section of your resume can also have the following titles:

Activities
Activities and Interests
Activities and Honors
Background Summary
Date and Place of Birth
