Want a Job? Get a Hobby

Whattup, job seekers! Last week we talked about how volunteering could help you network and land a new job. We’ve got another unconventional-ish networking tip for ya today.

Want a new job? Get a hobby.

How many of us can actually say we have a hobby? Something we do purely for fun? The benefits of having a hobby as an adult are insane, but we aren’t gonna get into all of them cause this isn’t a wellness newsletter for crying out loud. Let’s talk about how hobbies could lead to your next job.

Let’s just dive right in:

1. Hobbies ignite creativity and passion. When was the last time you got to use your creative brain in your job or job search? The irony is that creativity makes you a great employee. An artistic pursuit, like pottery or an improv class, teaches you to think on your feet and find solutions.

2. You never know who you might meet. Wouldn’t it be nice to meet someone who could help you with your career in an informal context? Say, for example, you join a community softball league and meet someone who works at your dream company. Now you’ve got a direct referral.

3. Talking about your hobby could pay off in an interview. Having a hobby makes you seem like a well-rounded person to potential employers. It’s an interesting thing about you that stands out from the other applicants. Plus, it can create common ground with your interviewer. Maybe you’re an avid hiker and they love to fish—you could talk about all the national parks you love. Remember, they aren’t just hiring for skills, they’re hiring the person they want to work with.

4. Hobbies build transferrable skills. But speaking of skills, hobbies can even add some special skills to your resume. For example, a team sport makes you a great collaborator. Joining a chess team makes you a better critical thinker. Hosting a podcast makes you a great public speaker.

5. They build your confidence. The job search is grueling, and a hobby can give you a much-needed moment of joy. It also boosts your confidence when you accomplish something through your hobby. Finally finishing a woodworking or crochet project you’ve poured hours gives you a sense of achievement that you can take back to your job search.

The best reason to pursue a hobby is because it’s fun, and we could all use some more fun in our lives these days. If your hobby happens to have some career benefits for ya, then that’s the cherry on top.
