He threw away the resume of a troublemaker. How he knew the guy is a troublemaker is beside the point. Like he said, it would have been just as reasonable to throw away a resume listing dozens of democratic group memberships, too.

I'm amused by all the people who believe these points are obvious. Clearly, they aren't -- or those of us who have suffered to read terrible resumes over the years would not be so frustrated.You would think, for example, that nobody would include their social security number on a resume. But when I wrote an article called "Stupid Resume Tricks" for a previous employer (it's still up at <a class="user" href="http://gamedeveloper.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=38805">http://gamedeveloper.digitalmedianet.com/articles/ ...</a> ) I was assured that it's frighteningly common. (I've never been able to figure out why someone would think the SSN was necessary or relevant. Kind of scary, actually.)

It's a relevant question in the interview -- not in the resume.The resume's job is to buy you an interview. The reader is trying to find out if you're qualified to do the work. If you make it as far as the interview, "who you are" begins to matter. The interviewer wants to find out if she wants to sit next to you for 8 hours a day. And she wants to know what you're passionate about (and the nature of that passion: community service? detail-oriented crafts? they say something about your personality) -- so asking about hobbies means something.On the resume? It's relevant only if the hobby demonstrates an achievement or in some way sells you for the interview.
