    Really?? They are still asking for interests these days? I have not had them on my resume for years.

    Sorry wish I could help.

    If you're going to include interests put something you do that is out of the ordinary. If you put polar bear wrestling the interviewer might be interested but if you put reading or sports you may as well not bother. Something specific like needle point embroidery can be used to demonstrate attention to detail and that you have stickability so don't be scared to write a sentence or two to tell employers why your interest makes you a better person for the job.

    Do you have a hobby? What do you do in your spare time?

    Among other things I put patchworking - just so happened that my potential employer's office manager also does patchwork. Which she told me made me memorable in her eyes when they were talking about potential candidates later. That really was just luck though lol.
