QuoteOriginally posted by: farmerQuoteOriginally posted by: katastrofamiddle aged men who risk nothing while hunting, have a massive advantage over their prey (modern optics, modern ammunition, etc) and are often hunting animals which were bred to be docile and easy to kill (deers on estates). It's not hunting as our forebears understood it, it's glorified slaughter. Listing it as a hobby on your CV shows that there's something wrong with your brain.If your empathy does not discriminate between animals and people, you are the sick one. I count myself unfortunately in this category of simple minds which cannot kill a fly, even though both my grandmothers cut the heads off chickens daily. And so I have admiration for people whose brains are built correctly and with sophistication, which can be appalled at human slaughter but not animal slaughter. If they additionally like to hunt, it is no easier or more perverted than fishing or playing ping pong.People like to do a lot of easy things that our forebears did not do, such as watch football, post on Internet forums, play video games. You are the savage one displaying a savage instinct, by being so quick to savage people who are different from you. You are too quick to see people who are unlike you as evil and perverted. I do not doubt you would participate and support the organized slaughter of your fellow man. You should play a video game instead of attacking people who did nothing bad and nothing to you, to find a channel for your tribal psychosis.It's not about discriminating between animals and people. It's about protecting the weaker ones (animals, children, the elderly), and not hurting them. Nowadays, it definitely takes more guts than running around the woods with a rifle, shooting to half-dead of fear foxes. If a man wants to prove his manhood, he can go and fight with an equal to himself (be it in a fair-play physical or mental fight, or in business, or like my husband who fights cancer). Nowadays, the guy with the hunting hobby in the CV would be a man if he could find a job and prove himself in his role. Hunters are no men to me. BTW, only an idiot walks into the forest to surprise a hungry terrified bear. But again, hunters are idiots.Oh, and if you want to play hunting, you're welcome to visit my home in Ukraine. We have enough deep woods and bird hunting weapon (they are actually kalashnikovs) to show you hunting from all perspectives.

Wow, very strong emotional opinions expressed here. I shall advise against putting "hunting" on a cv. Instead pick a trifecta of team sport, something vanilla and something smart, i.e. "baseball, watching movies and arts exhibitions", "basketball, hiking and competitive chess" etc.

QuoteOriginally posted by: dj99bLarge potential risk, small chance of gain. A job is a binary thing - you can't have 84% of a jobI once had to take part in a group exercise with HR that began with a "go round the room in turn and tell everyone something that you do or don't like". After the 3rd person said they liked rugby, it became clear that the correct answer was to say "I also like rugby". The following day, nobody cared about your specific personal tastes - but HR cared very much that the people in the room were capable of doing what they were told and not causing upset.so saying you like girls with big asses would not go down well ?

I experienced a variation on this theme today. Going through a stack of resumes for summer internships, one of the candidates listed under "Interests" the eating of exotic foods (OK so far, although not terribly relevant to the job at hand), and then went on to enumerate three of them, including shark fin soup (the others were duck hearts and balut). While this may not necessarily be much worse on the political correctness scale than some of the things I have enjoyed eating, like foie gras or whale meat, I would not propose to put those down on my resume, since I know they are bound to upset some people. You might think that paying 50K per year for college would include a career counseling service where somebody reads through your resume and flag items that may work against you, but that does not seem to have been the case here.

Bearish, whoever comes across this cv should invite him/her for an interview and make sure the candidate will taste a supersize portion of casu marzu....

I am not even capable of hunting, and I would consider putting it on my resume. Why? It is hard to know what a job will be like. Putting hunting on there increases the chances, if you do get an offer, it will not be with a bunch of zombies and parrots, and your resume is actually being reviewed by a senior person with an independent mind. This makes it so you will only get jobs where you have a chance to do individual work, think for yourself and make decisions, and advance yourself. You don't want to be another farm animal in a cube, whose primary job qualification is to shower, show up on time, follow instructions, and not say offensive things.Let's say you know how to program a FPGA, and you like to hunt. If the hunting costs you the job, then they really didn't plan to utilize your FPGA skills. You could say "I like to hunt people, and I can program a FPGA." Then you will only get a job where they have a lot of important work for a FPGA person, and your skills are expected to be put to a very productive use. Or you can say "I am a really nice guy" and you will get 100 FPGA job offers that turn out to be just serving coffee.I don't believe I have ever gotten a job with a resume in my life.

Or you will get hired by a bunch of fat old drunks who will throw darts at you for sport.

I thought you were unemployed, farmer.
