That's an interesting idea. For the time being, I have just changed by Technical Skills/Languages section to a Languages section - (I am fluent in a 2nd language, basic in a 3rd, and a begineer in a 4th, so I figured why not leave that on there). Plus, I have studied abroad and travelled abroad to dozens of countries, and the study abroads are already mentioned, so I'm not sure exactly how to work that without seeming excessive. The Leisures section sounds like a cool idea though. Thanks for your help, any thoughts on what I wrote here though? |

Well... you just write there what you do for fun.
Try to be a little specific, in the sense that "Read books, go to movies, do sports" is not very informative, while "Endurance sports (twice marathon finisher), read historical biographies, watch romantic comedies (member of the Meg Ryan fan club)" is better *.
The goal is to provide a glimpse of your personality, whereas the rest of the CV is there to show your academic & professsional achievements.
s.
* Though I would argue that the only good romantic comedy with Meg Ryan is "When Harry met Sally"
