Should I list hobbies and interests on my CV? The answer is a qualified yes. Putting your interests on a CV can strengthen your job application and help you score an interview. It helps you stand out as an individual and helps the recruiter think of you as a person, not just a work experience section. However, there are some potential drawbacks to including this information on your CV. First, if your hobbies and interests are not directly related to the job you are applying for, they may not be relevant to the employer. Second, if you list too many hobbies and interests, it may make you appear to be unfocused or indecisive. Finally, if you include information that is controversial or potentially offensive, it could hurt your chances of getting an interview.
