I've never put interests on a CV... I genuinely can't work out the point.

But then, I work in IT departments. Personality isn't exactly the most accepted currency around here. :lol:

IMO, that sounds really good. Hate when I see CVs and people are either trying to downplay their interests or claim that they don't have any at all. Want to work with people, not boring, nondescript figures.

The problem with making up bullshit interests in your CV, you risk getting asked about them in interviews

Really?

I'm so glad I work in IT. My real personality would never get given a good job. :lol:

Aye, but if it's vague enough like swimming or tennis, if you stumble when they ask you about something like that then you obviously don't deserve the job :lol:

Everyone puts white lies on their CV though and I wouldn't do it for a proper full time job I was applying for.

I'm talking about when I was firing CVs into the likes of Tesco or Primark, I don't really give a fuck about integrity. When it comes to applying for graduate jobs I'm obviously not going to do that.

I think that paragraph was alright tbh, that being said it could be a little longer, but I don't know much about you other than what you posted.
Keep it at the end though, the rest should be more facts, or accomplishments about your qualifications (both professional and academic) and any relevant life skills, like maybe you know some basic first aid or something (don't say you do unless you've got a certificate or something, because they WILL ask about that for a bar).
