If it tacky/douchey to list athletic achievments on resume.
Example, cite any titles / records you've won in PL or any other sports?
Im leaning toward douchey but a buddy tells me, 'no, it shows dediction etc., employers love that'
input?
-
If you include it,...It should be the last thing at the bottom.

yeah, something like "other accomplishments"

Depends on the job you are applying for too.

Where are you in your career? Just out of college?

Should I put Bench Press, Squat, and Dead Lift numbers in my resume?
I'd respect a prospective employee much more that had a decent squat... ;D
-
The employer may think you have a potential for roid rage. I would not include it.
I played the lead role in my 3rd grade play. Should I include that? ::)

Do not do it! Unless the job is specifically related to athletics. If you are applying to be an Associate Athletic Director or an Assistant Coach fine, otherwise references to your athletic prowess are unwarranted.

I don't see why not, but like someone else said, it depends on what job you're applying for - you have to tailor your experiences and achievements to the job, so that they can see you're dedicated towards going for that particular area.

I review lots of resumes every year and athletic achievements (among other things) always get my attention. I'd list them at the end under an "interests" section.

Unless your job has some kind of amazing physical requirement... Don't do it.
You will come across as a buffoon.

Do like Dwight Schrute:
1. Professional Resume
2. Functional Resume
3. Dwight Schrute Trivia
Put your numbers in the Trivia section.
Be certain during the interview to advise the interviewer to muscle up with anabolics.

I think it matters whether the person reading the resume cares about the athletic event you are claiming, no?

21" bicep cold bitcheeeezzzz!!!!!
...somewhere near the top. gets their attention and makes you stand out from the crowd :D

Yea owning your own job is great in a lot of ways, but shit like this is kinda scary.
Independent contractors also get raped on taxes.

Sorry to hear that!
$8000 dollars a year, can you afford it?

I am in my third month,...I hope to have a job with a group plan before too much longer.

Of course you should list your athletic accomplishments on your resume.
Also, attach a pic of the biggest shit you've ever taken.....you know, just to round it out.

No. It is about the job—not the person who you think is reading the resume. Resumes are often read by several people (HR folks, executive assistants, a search committee, etc.) not just the one person you think you are targeting. Any one of those individuals could flag your resume as unsuitable because you are including inappropriate information not related to your qualifications for the job.
Remember, you are applying for a job—not a date. If you want to impress a schmoe with your athletic prowess go put on a thong and oil up. References (even casual references) to your athleticism do not belong on a resume unless the job is specifically related to athletics.

I disagree. Putting something like participation in intercollegiate sports, and athletic awards earned either under the appropriate educational section or in an interests section is fine, particularly when it comes to team sports. What it shows is a more well rounded person who has skills necessary to work with people.
I don't know that I've ever talked to an HR person who had a problem with listing athletic achievements on a resume. I'm sure there are people out there would be offended by them, but placed in the proper context, described in the right way, they are an asset, not a liability IMO.

That's actually not bad. How much is the deductible?
-
I pay out of pocket and mines not that much, but depends on coverage and stuff

I fortunately have never had to use it...I will have to look it up...never used it, paying that amount for something you hope never to use...rather like a Polish joke.

Like the parachute that opens on impact?
Good point...although you can look at the expense as the price of one less big worry. Knowing that were something catastrophic to occur, you would know what to expect in terms of out of pocket cost.
In his book Killing Sacred Cows, Garrett Gunderson makes some good points about the value of risk management. I'm sure you already know these, but for the folks watching at home, it is interesting stuff.

Our ins. seems to go up every time we are billed (quarterly?). I think it's about $8000/yr w/a $3500 deductible each.

I agree with this here. Or if it is a physically demanding job and you want to show that you are strong and in good shape. Otherwise for a normal desk job, most getbiggers should have much more relevant stuff to include that doesn't include how much they bench or how cool they look hitting a crab most muscular pose.
