Do we need to put our hobbies/interests and description of our personality in a CV?



I want to make it as professional and brief looking as possible.

If they are not embarrassing sure.. I once read a CV that some guy had written which claimed he was a "donkey fancier".Hobbies and interests, no. Personal attributes, yes
CVs should be as brief as possible. However, if you have space, it's not a bad thing to write down your hobbies and what-have-you.

(You don't need to go as far as writing a personailty description though!)
if it is over two pages than no.
it is reccomended that young people with not much history do include it as it gives employers a better idea of th eperson, however as you gain more experience this is what potential employers will be looking at.
it is a good idea to include a personal attributes column, which should basically sum up what you have said when detailing what you have learned from past jobs, i.e good time keeping, customer skills etc etc....
months learning about how to write on at college
It makes for more interesting reading and much laughs in the office.
