Interests Tier List 2020
Here are my thoughts for the interests/hobbies section on an IB resume. As a prospect, I want to make sure that my resume is as perfect as possible. Although I come from a top target (think Harvard/Wharton/Stern), I am also a transfer from another target (think Cornell/Dartmouth/IU Kelley) and one can never be too certain.
God-Tier Target:
Wall Street Oasis Editor
Super Target (In Order):
Golf
NYC / Boston Sports
Powerlifting / bodybuilding
Squash
Target (In Order):
Reading
Sailing
Running
Tennis / Surfing / Basketball
Traveling
Semi-Target (In Order):
Poker
Hiking
Martial Arts
Ultimate Frisbee
Cooking
Non-Target (In Order):
Drawing
Swimming / Softball / Volleyball
Video-games
Not Respected:
Chess
Crossfit (Subjective)
I see you forgot being a cuck under God tier.
This is actually a pretty solid troll post. I enjoyed the various nuances and references to other popular topics / threads on this site. For example, you put schools like Stern and IU Kelley with Ivies, and you mentioned Chess as not respected, referencing a recent thread around the controversial nature of putting Chess on one's resume.
Overall, good job!
I’ll take a stab at this:
God Tier: jacking off constantly. like leaving meetings to jack off. no one can not respect that. showing up to interviews in jeans
Super Target: golf skiing backstabbing your peers to get ahead in all aspects of life. killer instinct = win deals. chicken wings. hot buffalo level spice and above only.
Target: backgammon slapping people’s phones down when they try and take a concert snap/meal snap. whistling at milfs & Au Pairs
Semi Target: whistling at smoke shows your own age hunting big game splitting wood by hand
non-target (do you even list interests if you’re applying to janitor positions?): chess cooking IU Kelley
You forgot riding
fuck even my interests are nontarget
This actually has the potential to be a very srs thread. OP can you please break down Fitness, is every form of fitness made equal, does the zumba crossfitter have the same level of prestige as the powerlifter? Thank you
WHERE IS CROSSFIT THO? DOING THE WOD AT THE BOX A MAJOR PART OF MY IDENTITY.
Would move poker up and also basketball is missing but should be right below tennis / surfing imo
Nah everyone I know who put "poker" on their resume in undergrad was a hardo striver who ended up at the "Point 72 academy" before being summarily pushed out and becoming a "personal investor"
good point. thank you VP in LBOs.
Of course you state-school non targets would forget about sailing.
Honestly this. That's how I know OP went to Kelley.
Do you guys want me to make edits to original or just leave it as is?
Edits please, revisions are required. Interested to hear your take on boxing/muay thai, too aggressive/tryhard or a overall cool alpha dude?
I think they would definitely have to look the part to not be considered tryhard. Nothing crazy, but a solid V-taper and some calloused hands would definitely help.
Edit: Just don't look like this
