Antique Collection On any weekend you can find me at a thrift store or estate sale. I love finding unique items and hidden gems and giving them a second life. Why it works: I find this topic to be another icebreaker. If I talk to someone who also enjoys vintage shopping, we usually swap stories about the types of items we collect and where to find them. Book Club A few years ago I started my own book club in Austin. We read nonfiction books about business, creativity, and entrepreneurship, such as Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic and Essentialism by Greg McKeown. Once a month, we meet at a local business to share what we learned from the book. Why it works: This hobby embodies my interest in continuing education and my desire to organize events (on a small scale) since I started the group and plan everything myself.  

Small Business I once wrote for a local magazine covering lifestyle topics such as where to shop Phone Number List and eat in town. The best part is interviewing small business owners, learning about their daily lives and motivations, and sharing their stories. Why it works: This interest applies to my resume because I now write for companies whose audiences include small business owners. I can use my passion and knowledge of small businesses to enrich my writing. These interests are specific to my experience and relevant to the types of roles I would be interested in pursuing in the future.



If these don't apply to you, consider adding some of to your resume. Sports As I mentioned, my fiancé loves sports like basketball and golf. He frequently participates in coalitions with colleagues and non-work groups. Including this on his resume demonstrates his passion for team activities and camaraderie. What We Like: If you were an active sports team or community league member, add this to the interests section of your resume to demonstrate your teamwork outside of work. Photography As I was browsing (previously), I saw a senior product manager shared the resume he used to land a job at Microsoft. In the interests section, he includes photography, video games, and playing musical instruments such as the saxophone and guitar. Interests in Resume Example: Snippet of a product manager resume containing an interests section. What we like: Photography is a hobby that expresses your interest in the world around you.
