Hobby and the future work

Hobby and the future work

Already it is time to delete the "Hobby" column from the standard form of the sent resume. That there is written, as a rule, does not influence in any way the decision of potential employers. On the contrary, serious successes in a nonprofessional field more likely them frighten off.

Star of television club «That? Where? When?», the owner of the main prize of this game «the Crystal owl», Ales Mukhin in 2005 became the director of the Belarus branch of company "Euronetwork". "To the aid" », to tell the truth, I especially did not count an owl, — Mukhin tells, — and to get a job has gone under the announcement in the newspaper. In the end of last, the sixth, interview which passed directly with the head of the company Evgenie Chichvarkinym, that was ran under the column« Hobby »of my resume where I« am modest »has specified all titles. Only then he has noticed, that« somewhere heard a name and a surname "." Presence at Mukhin of "the Crystal owl» has not affected the decision on its reception for work, — Evgenie Chichvarkin, the chairman of board of directors of company "Euronetwork" tells. — We the trading company which professional qualities of employees are important, their desire to work, instead of their regalia. Once for a long time in IT department "Euronetwork" the champion whether Russia, whether the world on рендзю (a game version in tic-tac-toe worked. — "sheets"). Despite of a title, it have dismissed for larceny ». According to Чичваркина, presence of any achievements in nonprofessional employment on career growth of the employee in its company does not influence in any way.

«In 2005 when I as a part of the command became the world champion on« That? Where? When? », — other player of teleclub« That tells? Where? When? »— Michael Levandovsky, the director for business development« Central дистрибьюторской the companies »(the distributor of production Procter largest in Russia and Gamble), — company management Golden Telecom in which I then worked as the head of one of directions, naturally, has congratulated me. But the title directly has not affected my career growth. Nevertheless advancement of any employee is influenced by its professional achievements, instead of a hobby. In the division I have accepted several employees, with which a sign on« That? Where? When? ». Among them there are at whom loud titles are not present, however it has not affected the decision on their employment. Thus I hardly would employ the person, even the champion who because of the hobby cannot concentrate on work».

With Levandovsky Grigory Dobrydnev, the head of department on personnel selection рекрутинговой companies "Euros-Konsalt" agree also. Presence at the candidate of a hobby and achievement for it today slightly influence its chance to get a job. More likely on the contrary. «For the competitor of vacancy the achievements described in the resume in the column« Hobby », can сослужить bad service if the employer considers, that the hobby of the candidate will prevent to work to that, — tells Добрыднев. — lead the employer to such opinion« regalia »potential employee which will confirm can, that the candidate finds for the hobby considerable time, that, probably, will harm to work».

As to career growth the excessive hobby in the areas which have been not connected with a trade, even can force to accept the employer extreme measures. In practice Добрыднева there was a case when the skilled and perspective employee of one of the companies has seriously taken a great interest in table tennis. Victories in the championships have not passed completely for its work, and the employee has been dismissed. On the other hand, if achievements in sport of the employee do not stir to its work the management welcomes them and even is proud of them. For example, it happens with Igor Mininym who worked several years ago in the St.-Petersburg company which was engaged in transactions with the real estate. «When I became the master of sports and the champion of Russia on curling the company management welcomed this achievement. And even bragged to competitors, that such employee works for them», — has told Минин.

Sometimes the companies purposefully search for workers with a certain hobby, achievements in which only will raise chances of the competitor of vacancy. «One of large trading networks on sale of the sports equipment at a choice of sellers was guided not in the last instance by a kind of sports in which those took a great interest, — tells Anastas Sveshnikov, рекрутер personnel agency" Anchor ". — In this case achievements, for example a rank of the master of sports, influenced chances of candidates». Though it is faster an exception to the rules as the hobby of the employee was "continuation" of its professional qualities and defined its level of knowledge of sports equipment
