[quote=Anonymous]I actually think they're useful, as long as they're not overly generic (e.g., reading vs. 20th century American fiction) or too personal (e.g., bereavement support group leader). Also, make sure they're genuine (e.g., Native American culture when the extent of it is visiting the Native American history museum a couple of times), since you can't be sure the person that's interviewing you may also share the interest. Often down playing the extent of the hobby (unless you're really so avid that it would seem silly) helps too (e.g., aspiring marathon runner). I've found they can add a bit of personality to a resume, and they provide a good conversation topic in an interview. [/quote]
