Top 8 hobbies to boost your employability
Top 8 Hobbies to Boost Your Employability
It’s no secret that more companies are now hiring for cultural fit in an effort to generate higher performing candidates. As one study has recently shown, many employers are now using candidate’s hobbies and interests as a key indicator of cultural and personality fit. In fact, many employers indicated that these hobbies and interests were as important. These hobbies were if not more important than qualifications and experience when selecting the applicant for the role.
If you are looking for work, this means that you may want to take up a hobby or two. You want to make yourself more attractive to potential employers and boost your employability but which hobbies should you take up? It all depends on what type of personal strengths you’re looking to showcase!
We have outlined nine common hobbies, the strengths they showcase, and the industries they’d benefit from.
1. Endurance sports
Sports like running, cycling swimming, etc. suggest that a person has tenacity, perseverance, and drive, which are exactly the qualities that are desirable for a sales or business development role. This might be especially important to brands that market to the extreme sports crowd like RedBull.
2. High-risk activities
Activities such as mountain climbing, mountain bike racing, and sky diving can suggest that a person is happy to push back boundaries and take calculated risks. These strengths are desirable for people going into thought leadership roles or product/department leadership roles.
3. Creative hobbies
Hobbies like cooking, painting, and photography are artistic pursuits which suggest that you have a creative mind. Such hobbies might make you more appealing to employers in dynamic sectors and industries such as marketing, PR, design, etc.
4.Team sports
Group sports such as football, softball, hockey, dodgeball, etc. show that you can work as a team member in pursuit of a common goal. While this is a desirable quality in most industries, it might be especially useful in team-based environments.
5. Strategic mind games
An interest in games like chess, backgammon, or sudoku shows that you enjoy thinking strategically. This type of strength is desirable for positions where policy development and strategy formulation are central to the work, such as a planning-based role.
6. Creative writing
An interest in creative writing – whether through poetry, short stories or a personal blog – can highlight your strengths as a writer or editor. This type of skill is highly sought-after for editorial positions, public relations positions with an emphasis on communications, or social media-type roles.
7. Reading, museums, libraries
An interest in learning-based activities can showcase a hunger for knowledge – a skill that could make you an especially good researcher, particularly suited to research-intensive positions.
8. Community group involvement
Such hobbies can suggest that you are comfortable collaborating with others which means you could be a particularly good personality fit for managerial roles. It’s important to note that if a hobby makes you miserable, you probably shouldn’t do it – even if it will impress employers. The same goes for fabricating an interest in certain hobbies.
