Global technical recruitment company, NES Group, is advising candidates to refrain from giving details of their hobbies and interests in CVs. The company says it just isn’t appropriate to include personal interests when applying for professional roles. “Whilst sharing details of your personal hobbies may seem like it gives ‘colour’ to a CV, it can backfire by prompting employers to make a judgment about you”.
