An argument can be made that hobbies are interview conversation starters or that they make you seem well-rounded, but they are generally seen as fluff or filler. Do , however, list sports if you re a college student or new grad. Many employers specifically seek out athletes because of their drive and competitiveness, as well as teamwork and leadership skills. Collegiate athletes should even consider listing their sports background in the Experience section. Don't list references right on your resume.
References belong in a later stage of the job search.
Keep references on a separate sheet and provide them only when they are specifically requested. If you couldn't, you would have no business looking for a job. Do proofread carefully. Misspellings and typos are deadly on a resume. Read all our job-hunting do's and don'ts .
