an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed “baseball” or “basketball” – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned “softball” – typically women – were downgraded.
Marginalised groups often “fall through the cracks, because they have different hobbies, they went to different schools”
Who puts hobbies on a resume?
I’m no expert but in my experience most CVs follow the following format: personal info (name, contact info, etc), studies, past jobs, skills, extras (hobbies and such)
Unless you are freshly graduated, job experience should go before education. It’s the most relevant info.
