Should you write interests/activities/hobbies on a resume?  Not if you don’t feel comfortable doing it. However, it does add to the picture of who you are and can increase the likelihood of securing an interview. Interested in sports?

All of this is good, so why not write that you like baseball/tennis/water polo/running/synchronized swimming? All other interests are relevant, too. Charity work, church
