CV Interests

One of the most often asked questions when writing a CV is on the CV Interests section. Quite often people are unsure as to what to add here, let alone how to write it.

The bottom line is that an interests section is optional. Most bland internet templates include an interests section because they can be quite useful to school leavers and early careers, and templates have to be applicable to many different readers and job seekers.

However, the employers focus will always be on the core skills in the CV. If an employer has already been unimpressed by the time they get to the Hobbies and Interests section, the information that you include at the end of your CV will not persuade them to change their mind about offering you an interview. But this doesn’t mean the information included here is not important. A few brief words could catch the employer’s eye and persuade them to take a second look through your skills and experience.
