Interests and hobbies

Puzzles/Games
Much like your artistic endeavors can showcase your creativity to a prospective employer, an interest in strategic games shows that you may possess the ability to strategize and plan.
We likely sound like a broken record at this point, but be specific. Saying “video games” is not going to add much value to your resume, whereas “PC gaming” might (remember to do your research on the company to make sure this would be appropriate).
Your interest in board games or gaming can demonstrate your strategic and objective skillset

Your hobbies don’t (and likely aren’t) confined by neat category distinctions. Just ask yourself whether your passion has the potential to showcase a valuable skill.
For example, on the list below you’ll see brewing beer as a hobby. As long as the business you’re applying to is a more modern company, this could be appropriate to include. To be a successful brewer, you need to be precise and thorough—both great traits in a prospective employee.
A hobby worth including can be any passion that demonstrates an appealing trait to an employer

• 
  Learning languages (which/ how many languages have you learned?)
  
• 
  Traveling
  
• 
  Foodie (talking about local restaurants can be a great way to break the ice in an interview)
  
• 
  Gardening
  
• 
  Brewing beer
  
• 
  Cooking (which cuisine is your specialty?)
  
• 
  Baking (who doesn’t love the person who bakes for office parties?)
  
• 
  BBQing (this would certainly grab my attention)
  
• 
  Social media (if you run a successful social account for a local organization or cause, that can be an invaluable skill)
  
• 
  Camping
