JohnRich 4 #2 January 27, 2012 Yep, one should keep their skydiving hobby a secret if asked during an interview. If they ask what your hobbies are, make something up that no one could think anything bad of, like hiking or bike riding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlie5 0 #3 January 27, 2012 Odd, the program that just accepted me actually mentioned that they like the skydiving hobby and saw it as a plus lol.The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
virgin-burner 1 #4 January 27, 2012 i think it depends a lot how you sell it. they will always ask about skydiving if you mention it, then you can talk about necessary training and risk-management, quick decision-making etc. depending on the job, that is EXACTLY the person they're looking for! if it's for a job at a beauty-salon, that probably wont matter! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

tmccann 1 #5 January 27, 2012 I haven't been fired yet. My boss even sent me one of those Experience Human Flight videos when he found out. However, I don't think it'll ever make my resume. I interviewed a guy who listed "skydiving" as a hobby while I was working on my A and very excited to talk to anyone and everyone about skydiving. Turns out he did a tandem once. Made me wonder what else he had exaggerated on his resume. Guess who didn't get hired? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
