If you have Boxed...

I say I used to box on my CV. I said it gave me determination and respect and some other bollocks. I thought it might come across as agressive, so I also put that I like listening to whale music and reading books to even it out.

 

If it was a substantial achievement then yes I would

 

depends what you are applying for I guess.

 

When a career advisor was helping me fill out a CV and she asked me my hobbies and i mentioned i was an amateur boxer she said that was a great thing as it shows you are disciplined and hardworking etc.

 

I boxed for years and was always told to write down your achievements on a CV.

 

"Former WBO world middleweight champion now working at Asda"

 

hahaha

 

:good

 

Classic stuff.

On a more serious note though, sure put it on there. "Work-Life Balance" or whatever other corporate wank term they use these days is important to be demonstrated. Even more so if you've actually done well.

 

I say no.
I used to box but I never put it on my CV (I have nothing worth bragging about either).

I have interviewed hundreds of people in my time. My unfair assumption would be, all other things being equal, that the ex boxer could potentially be a more difficult individual to manage, and I don't need the hassle of that.

Put ex Tennis player instead, or something as equally gay.

 

never filled out a CV,wouldn't know what to do with it if someone gave me one to do,thinking on,ive never been for a job interview either

i would put it on a cv though,im proud of being twatted many a time around the ring:yikes

 

i have my achievements in the ring on mycv, im a personal trainer though so its fitting
