| He's kinda right though. How's gonna help you having that on your resume? Unless you want to work at Disneyland dressed as Goofy, I don't see how is beneficial. |

| Why would you put either on your resume. No offense, but unless I was hiring for a job that involved either of these, I wouldn't give two shits, and I would actually consider it a negative for the individual to have even included it as they are showing signs of being incapable of assessing what is and is not relevant to the job they are applying for. |

| I guess that's true. Most people look at cosplaying and thinks it's weird. "Eww. Why'd you wanna dress up like a character from a show you like and put effort into it? It's much better and cooler to watch sitcoms!" The world isn't as cool as you. |

But if your hobby is cosplaying at anime conventions or something, leave that out." How terrible and insensitive. Opinions? Should I tell him off? ;3 When it comes to resumes you should be making your resume about what skills you can accomplish. So think about what skills cosplaying contains then write the skills down but you don't have to specify it was cosplaying. That is if your doing a up to date resume (a real one) not copying one from the internet like most people do. So like for example if your cosplaying and often find yourself talking in front of large groups then put that you have skills public speaking in front of an audience. Pro tip don't ask people in MAL how to get a job most of the people on here are trolls and wouldn't legitly be helpful unless they could use it to make you feel like an idiot or make fun of you. Cosplaying isn't really career worthy yet a resume can be created to make it sound like your an amazing person yet most of MAL most likely doesn't put effort into jobs or they where just handed money by family so they are spoiled. |
| I like cosplay and all but sadly the majority does not share the same sentiments. If there is anything to blame, it is society's close mindedness. Don't blame your prof for being close minded. |

Should I tell him off? ;3 I have no idea what job are you planning to apply to, but as a general rule, I would leave all my hobbies out of my resume. And I would leave out everything else that I can legally get away with leaving out. Why should I tell it to people who haven't even hired me yet? |
| Hmm... In case people didn't realize, this is a joke thread. I don't cosplay, and I certainly wouldn't be thrilled to see it on anyone's resume (unless to get a good laugh out of it). |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| If you make the costumes from scratch yourself, then that is worth mentioning if it's relevant to the job. Honestly, employers don't give a fuck if whether you play piano or not. Unless you're applying to something that has anything to do with music. |

Well, I certainly hope you aren't anywhere near a human resources department. Piano is a skill that demonstrates you have finesse, dexterity, and commitment. 1) Dexterity is still not relevant to most jobs, however merely playing the piano does not prove this, being good at the piano does to a lesser degree. 2) Finesse? The way you use it is synonymous with dexterity. 3) Commitment? No it doesn't, a hobby is a hobby. It is something you enjoy doing, it really doesn't show commitment at all. |

| I would not put either on my resume assuming I did either of those things. |

| Why would you put cosplaying on your resume? o.o I mean unless you're literally trying to get a job as a cosplayer at an anime convention or something I don't see what it could gain you |
  |
| He wasn't dissing it, he was saying to not put it on your resume. It makes sense in most cases. Unless you're being hired as a cosplayer or model, why would the business care about your hobby in the first place? In fact, it would probably make them less likely to hire you because of the weeaboo stereotype. |
| I don't think that really counts as dissing either. I mean he is right that it doesn't really help you or makes you look better except maybe for like when you are applying for a job that involves making and wearing costumes? |
| Business Communications I assume? Well he's out of line, cosplaying makes for good business if used appropriately for advertising purposes. He basically sent millions away from him. |
 |
| ugh cruel world I did both, but turns out playing the piano is a lot more stressful than cosplay. And hobbies shouldn't bring you more stress, there's enough of that elsewhere. |
| You know there's a difference between 'don't put this on your resume' and 'I don't approve of this', right? |
| Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts. Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that. |
| I wouldn't put that I cosplay on my resume either, he's really not wrong. You want to appeal to the job/college, this is just life. It's not your professor that's "insensitive", it's society, he's just telling you facts. |
 |
| There's not really a reason to put it on your resume in the first place unless it's for a modelling/cosplay position.. And it's embarrassing as fuck anyway lol (at least to me) |

| Silly weeaboo Who would employ somebody with the hobby of cosplaying? You guys can honestly get so delusional at times, you do know that anime is still a niche interest that is socially unaccepted right? And btw that's a good thing |

A lot of studies have shown that people who play instruments have better performance in a variety of aspects. Not just "dexterity." It does show commitment; you can list it under "interests" or even "skills." |

| I actually agree with him. It's not very useful. |
 |
| Honestly, why would you even put that you played piano? |
| I think he's correct in this instance. No use putting something there unless it will actually help with the job itself. Also, it could be a lot worse, he could have said that it isn't a hobby at all. I've seen many of the older folk stating that gaming etc isn't a hobby. I find that way more annoying than someone saying you can't put that on your resume. Even if I was a hardcore gamer spending 4 hours+ every day on gaming, no way would I put that on a resume. You gotta play by society's rules if you need a job. Not if you're rich though, then you can just do whatever the fuck you want. |

| That's just stupid, there's close to no jobs that require either so in the vast majority of cases you shouldn't have either on your resume. |

Often, any time I met someone who's passionate about a certain football/soccer team, they were just investing emotions in something completely meaningless. Why spend that time watching people kick a ball when you can kick a ball with your friends. |
