how hobbies can make you have a bad resume
Never neglect the place of hobbies in a resume
Like other section in a resume, hobby has a crucial part as it helps to create a spider web link to one of the sections in a resume most specially the skills and ability section.
Hobby section deserves the same time devoted when writing other section. Many resume as failed because of this section. The question is how?
1. Your hobby above other things, tell your recruiter more about your social life.
2. What you do when you’re not working
3. How you manage your time
4. How you use your skills and ability in an informal settings
5. Your availability for team work.
With this 5 point, you can see a gap in your resume when you neglect the place of hobby.
No recruiters would want to employ a robot as employee. Hobby gives your recruiter a clearer picture of you. One of the benefit of hobby in a resume is that is can create an atmosphere for discussion with your recruiters during the job interview.
Now that you know the important of hobby, you should be careful not to lie or list all the hobbies you can think of. Three to four is enough. You might want to ask why.
If you list all the hobbies you can think about, then your recruiter might be force to think that you might never have time to do any formal work outside the work environment.
So what are you waiting for, start editing your resume if you have one already.
And remember, except you are writing a general resume (fresh graduate), try to tailor your hobby to match your job specification and not just that, make sure there is a linking or connection with your skills and ability or other section in the resume.
Example
If you write internet research as one of your skills then there should be reading or writing in your hobby... there is a link between internet research and writing/reading. This is just a sample. There can be other things which can link each other in a resume apart from the example above and below.
Creative thinking can link chess/Sudoku/scrabble game

My lazy Lecturer
You are dressed on a black coat
and walked in magesticaly
like a demigod of old
and walked in magesticaly
like a demigod of old
You shut the door with a Command
and yet not satisfy
with the population at hand.
and yet not satisfy

You walk around discerning Appearance.
"when I was like you"
Begins your jagons.
"when I was like you"

You praise yourself,
yet none as written anything
about you on shelf.

Until you are through,
when you walk around
we barely move

And when you go,
you fulfil no goal

How to get that dream job
For fresh graduate...
Well don’t think further, you can get that job. But how?
When you see a job opening advert but it is not in anyway related to your field of study and you think the job is not meant for you. The truth is, you can still apply. It is not a limitation but an invitation to sell yourself to the prospective employer.
Another way fresh graduate limit themselves is when they see a job opening advert with the requirement of 3-5 year experience. Since they are still fresh from the university, the job is not meant for them. Like i said earlier, it is an invitation and not a limitation. It all depends on packaging.
I remember when i was still serving (NYSC), i sent my resume to different organisations through a job website and i have no experience that was required from them. The next day, i got a message from one of them to come for job interview
Two days after i got the first job interview message, another job interview was sent to me. In one week, i got five job interviews. In did not move out of my room to look for job. All i did was to make use of information resources in the World Wide Web. And did you know i did not go for any of the interviews?
How i earn my first money online. An opportunity you don't want to miss
Make money by referring people in Nigeria
Making money online is almost a myth to all those that have tried it legally. There other ways of making money online that is not genuine. I believe you are familiar with that.
Making money online is real and i am a living witness. I made my first money online after tireless research and i still believe there still some site like this that I am yet to be aware of.
If the INTERNET can generate income for organisations, then there are some genuine oorganizations who will need the assistant of people (like you and me) in getting more wealth online.
We chat, comment, review, read, make research online etc but we don’t know perhaps few know but they have giving up because it never worked for them. I have heard people use Nairabet, lotto and the popular baba ijebu like they call it. But all this have high risk.
I have found another way to generate income with no risk online...
