Do I need to include Hobbies & Interested on my CV?

Technically no. They aren't seen as essential but they can be a great way to help your CV standout and let your potential new employer know a little bit more about your personality.

Tips & Tricks

List 3 - 4 hobbies or interest. Try to avoid really generic hobbies such as "reading" & "walking". Instead try to pick something more unique and memorable.

You could even try to include something that showcases your suitability for the role. For example if you're applying to an IT job you could showcase how you like to build computers in your spare time.

However, don't worry if you're hobbies aren't related to your profession; the most important thing is to help show your personality.
