have you ever posted on your Resume that your a hunter?

no, professional qualifiacations fill my resume, i dont think my employer could care less if im addicted to #### or a hobby shooter on my spare time. If your resume is that sparse, do some volunteer work for your range and list them as a reference.
 
I never thought to include it. Then again, I've not needed a resume since 1997....I read hundreds of resumes and I am really not that interested in their hobbies that they list, although sometimes I laugh at them.
 
Target shooter on my resume for a summer job at a gas station, with one of the range supervisors as my reference :D. Mainly because i had minimal prior work experience, and no one else i could really use.

They didn't care, probably because it makes no real difference regardless if i shoot or not.
 
I am a "professional" IT consultant. It would not look very good to the city folk. What they don't know they can't hold against me.

I don't list hobbies. That is something for the interview as part of the getting to know me.

And I have not needed a resume in over 10 years.
 
You betcha! It's best that an employer know that about me before I start with their company. If they're that anti-gun then I don't want to work for them, I just wouldn't be comfortable there.

Yes, it always was. If a prospective employer didn't like my hunting/shooting, I didn't want to work for him anyway. Working to make money for an anti would make the job unbearable.

well one of my jobs that i had for 4 years i had a anti-gun boss. well that did not go over to well. seeing that most customers that i had where hunters and well they all talked to me on it. and when i spent 30 days hunting one year well. he was pissed at me.. but i told him when i started that i NEED 30 days off a year for that. (this was a computer/satellite t.v store.) (i still work there part time)

if i would of posted that on my Resume(hunter) i know he would of not called me in for the interview.

now the last job i had witch i got "let go" from was last week.. on the interview i had my camo t shirt on that was camo. well that went over real well seeing he was a hunting nut.

(and yes i did not think when i went for the interview.(camo thing). lol seeing i never had a real interview before this.)

now i am in school for Natural resource officer but i need one more part time job. seeing i need more $$ for guns!!
 
I applied to a search and rescue team several years ago I included it, as the skills are relevant and in fact it got me the position. However as a matter of course I don't see where I would unless it were relevant to the position.

I have a buddy who is a physician whom it helped get a few jobs, but he does expedition medicine as a sideline, and has gone to several locales where it was required to be able to operate a firearm reliably.
 
all the time, its going to come out at some point at work so why not be honest. has never hurt any job application.

I was recently offered a position and the potential employer commented that there was great hunting in the area to try and entice me to move 4000kms across the country...
 
Only if I was applying at a company somehow related to hunting and/or firearms. Otherwise, it's as irrelevant as anytihng else I do on my own time/dime. I go to work to buy things like guns, not to make friends ;)
 
I never put it on a resume because HR types receiving the resume only care that what they see on paper matches what the hiring manager gave them for screening criteria.

I do care that the hiring manager takes the time to ask about my personal life, usually during the follow-up interview or near the end of the first/only interview. That to me is a sign of someone hiring an employee for everything they bring to the company, instead of hiring just another lemming. That's when I mention hunting/fishing/musclecars/electric guitars :)
