on your CV - resume - do you declare

saintbrat · Post: # 584146Post **saintbrat** » Tue 10 Jun 2008 8:20pm

that you are a Saints Supporter?

whilst looking for some information I came across this written on a website that was listing the credentials of their staff

Simon is currently the 'Cycling MD' of Melbourne, enjoying the liberation that comes with a new light-weight Italian-made bike. He is also a tireless supporter of the St Kilda Football Club.

Would you declare St Kilda and how would you describe your involvement?

I would definately say it because it would show you would be passionate about the job and wouldnt quit when things got tough.

I would describe myself as a life long fan looking for the holy grail !!

ps: I wonder if Simon is hiding on this forum somewhere.

It's definitely on mine!

I mention that i work voluntarily at the club for a little while doubt it helps but i have it there as a conversation piece. If they engage in footy talk i relax more.

maybe if you were going for a job AT st kilda...

or unless you know its going to help you get the job..

So poor Simon, the cyclist and Saints supporter, has no tires on his Italian made bike ...

saintbrat · Post: # 584193Post **saintbrat** » Tue 10 Jun 2008 8:59pm

heheheheh clever Belfast saint-- it was from a non profit site- so that could possibly be true

I guess the next question would be - if you are hiring someone would it make you look again if they declared their football allegiance?

or do you look for little signs- Ie my watch is a plain gold watch but it's a saints watch and it is amazing how many kids pick up on it;;

As a Recruitment Manager I try not to be swayed by those things. No I definitely am not influenced by those sort of things. However, I do like people to be relaxed at interviews and will discuss football and the like to create a less formal environment.

Well I guess if you bike was tire-less that it would be a bit lighter

I applied for a position in a government department in 2000 and listed in my interests was the usual blah blah and " enduring the trials and tribulations of the Saints" and one of the panel members was a Kangaroos supporter who picked felt I possessed a sense of humour and the ability to deal with most things. So it can work for you being a Saints supporter.

Goodluck JK. YOu wouldn't mention it in Qld. They wouldnl't know what you were talking about

I put it on my resume... mind so far my resume has gotten me a job in a convenience store and kmart... so it's not really saying much.

But I did mention that I have previously done volunteer work for the saints and regularly attend games. So it must be doing something for lol.

Good luck with the interview JK

I actually got a job by doing it. Turns out the CEO was a mad saints fan as well as one of the other managers.
They read my resume and I basically had the job before I turned up to the interview.

Best Job and company I ever worked for!!!!!!
