YOUR FAMILY IS NOT YOUR HOBBY!

 

Below is a classic example of what I have seen on many résumés.  This particular one comes from a seminary professor, but I’ve seen a bunch on the résumés of pastors as well.  In the case below with our seminary friend, we can find solace that mowing the yard got nudged out by his interest in his family!

Our seminary professor at least uses the word “interest” rather than the more ghastly label of “hobby.”  Here is how he ordered his interests:

Interests: baseball, reading historical novels, psychology and faith, spending time with family, working in yard, traveling, guitar, movies.

What are your interests or hobbies?  Whatever they may be please delete family from your résumé if you have it listed there!
