CV tips on Interests and Hobbies

Every CV should have a small part dedicated to your interests and hobbies. This is your chance to not only show you're an interesting person, but to also cover interests you pursue that relate to the industry you're applying to. For example, if you were trying to get into Banking and Finance Graduate Jobs and you read the Financial Times, it would be perfect to note that in your spare time you enjoy catching up on the FT news. Don't worry, not all your interests have to be angled in this way. Be honest and get as many interesting hobbies and activities in there as you can without going on too long. It's your chance to help them build a bigger picture of you as a person so make sure you create the right impression.
