can I put "above average penis length" on a resume as well?


It would be better to create a graph with 5.16 in the middle. Write the word "Me" with an arrow to a point on the graph. If you have no wife or GF, write "Me (Single)" next to the arrow.

You should also add your squat and bench max.

In the interviews I conducted at the law firm I talked only about hobbies and interests. It depends on the field. At my old firm, if you made it in for the all-day interviews then you fit academically and/or experience-wise. So it's about being a good fit.

I wouldn't say marathon though. I'd just say running or something and then casually drop the marathon. It's not going to get you an interview but it's good to talk about the softballs in interviews.

One application for residency the guy put on every race he entered while in Med School. I thought it was just a febile attempt to pad his application

What the hell do your hobbies and interests have to do with applying for a job? Save that for some small talk during the interview.

No. I wouldn't put distances or races I have done, but I would put things like Endurance Athlete, Outdoor Enthusiast, etc.

My resume is 2 pages and I fight to keep that short.

Engineers have a tough time limiting it to a single page after they work on several projects with multiple clients as well as job changes.

Put it above "other skills".

But perhaps in "Interests" would be good.

No. They'll see the 26.2 sticker on my jetta as I'm pulling out the parking lot and know what's up.

Does it apply to the position you are applying for? Because the answer to that is the answer to your question.

I don't see what the problem is? Lot of people in this thread strongly object to this. Are things that different in the business world? It's been noted to me by several interviewers that when interviewing professionals they kind of like to see that you're well rounded and not just some super, Type A work a holic.
