an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed “baseball” or “basketball” – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned “softball” – typically women – were downgraded.
Marginalised groups often “fall through the cracks, because they have different hobbies, they went to different schools”
Who puts hobbies on a resume?
You might if it was a lower level position and you had like helped run your team or something like that. Or maybe university sports. I had hockey team and my high school band on my resume until I had real experience. Talk up things like working with a team and our fundraising stuff. Proves you probably aren’t a complete antisocial weirdo at the least.
But this article isn’t about cashier jobs at your local jamb juice.
I dunno it doesn’t really say does it? I kinda just skimmed it they could be fairly low level out of college type jobs.
I’m no expert but in my experience most CVs follow the following format: personal info (name, contact info, etc), studies, past jobs, skills, extras (hobbies and such)
Unless you are freshly graduated, job experience should go before education. It’s the most relevant info.
Right fair. They’re usually sorted by date. Some do it ascending others do it descending
I thought you knew? The CRC-CM-HR 2.0 protocol automatically deleted any application that didn’t have a listed hobby since 2013.
