should you include hobbies and interests in your resume when applying to graduate school(or medical school)?

22 Apr

This is what I have under my hobbies and interests section of my resume:

-Played the piano for 9 years. Played at many recitals
-Plays golf for enjoyment
-Study of egyptology
-Excellent manga (japanese cartoon) artist
-Interest in asian popular culture including Korean dramas, Japanese manga and anime

When applying to medical school or gradute level institutions of higher education, will this type of hobbies section on my resume look too personal? Will the admissions committee even care? Should I cut this section off?

what should you say your interests/ hobbies are when applying for a job in a retail store?

21 Mar

I’m applying for a job in customer service at this retail store who sell clothing (men, women & kids’ clothing), a few electrical items, home furniture, flowers, gifts etc etc. I was wondering what hobbies/interests would be relevant to applying to this store.
I like music, travelling, reading books etc etc.
Aah right, I was kinda confused cuz I always keep reading stuffs saying that you only need to tell them about things that are relevant to the job. So, i thought, perhaps that was applicable to hobbies too.
Anyways thanks !!!
