What's the relevance of hobbies on a person's CV?

Employees are human beings not machines with technical specifications and features. When they talk about their hobbies, you will be able to know more about their character, passions, interest, potential,... not only professional experience and education.

1) Stand out

Most people do not list their hobbies and interests on their resume, so this alone will immediately make your resume different.

2) Present potential interview topics

You’re opening up topics of discussion if you’re contacted for an interview.

3) Prove you’re well-rounded

Hobbies and interests can show off how likable you are and how easily you’ll mesh with future colleagues.
