You are way too invested in this.  I can't even be bothered to read all of that.

I did read the last part.  My kid learned the first aid as a FFX County lifeguard, which he did for 4 yrs.  Not panicking is his personality + first aid training, and there were a surprising number of incidents (not all water related).

Truly nobody cares or reads the personal interest section of a resume.  Most people don't even include it because it's so irrelevant to jobs.  [/quote]

A quick note:  this statement about resumes is absolutely dead wrong.  If you are interviewing with a company or firm after previewing submitting a resume then you already have the academics and experience to fulfill whatever position they have open.  The questions remaining revolve around what type of person you are, and will you be a good fit within the organization.  That is the purpose of the personal part of the resume.  The personal part of your resume gives me topics to discuss with you to make the decisions.  I don’t care if you were the recording Secretary for the school business club or if you graduated 43rd in your class at OldStateU.  What do you like to do?  We can talk about that.  Have kids?  We will talk kids.  Member of the Corvette club?  We will talk cars.  Played a sport?  Let’s dig in to that.  Don’t have interests outside of work?  Can’t carry on a conversation.  No thanks.
