I have to confess something.
I was updating my resume, and I realized, that I can't consider 'Gaming' to be one of my hobbies anymore. I mean, how could I, I never actually play anything. I think I haven't played a single video game this year yet. |
You actually have a Hobbies section for your resume? |
It's honestly not a terrible idea depending on what work you're going into. I put stand up comedy on my resume, even though it was more of a hobby than a career, and that's what potential employers always want to talk about first. Forming a little personal bond with the interviewer is never a bad thing. The job I got recently I talked about football and cheesesteaks during the interview (it was in Philadelphia).
So these things can help, although generally you want to get your resume onto one page, and if you have time to talk about your hobbies, depending on your age and the level of the position, it might make it appear that you don't have enough work stuff to fill out the resume. But, if you wind up interviewing with someone who likes videogames, can be helpful.
