Johnston, who works with some of the world's top leaders at her executive resume writing company, remembers when she saw pets successfully mentioned as an interest. I knew a job seeker who applied for a position at Purina, she recalled. They listed themselves as a proud dog dad of two golden retrievers at the bottom of their resume, which the recruiter clearly loved! Pro tip: This interest works well when the company you're interviewing for is in the pet or animal industry. Nonprofit Organizations Like community service, an interest in a nonprofit organization demonstrates your dedication to a specific cause or community. Pro tip: List an interest only if you are actually involved with a specific nonprofit or volunteer work.
Entrepreneurship Do you want to start your own business one day? Are you a go-getter with a growth Phone Number List mindset? Entrepreneurship may come naturally to you, which makes it worthy of being an interest on your resume. What we like: Having an entrepreneurial mindset can be the key to success as a salesperson or at a startup. music 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, 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 and eat in town. The best part is interviewing small business owners, learning about their daily lives and motivations, and sharing their stories.
