While some people I spoke with were applying for squarely fitness related jobs, one person works for a golf related company.
Others work in public relations, though.
And some of these people work in tech and sales and really all kinds of jobs.
In his original video, he was filming himself running and talking on this subject.
In our interview, he told me that he believes it shows determination and work ethic.
And a big thing that he liked about it is he believes it shows that you're committed to your well-being, which he pointed out is a good thing, whether you're in the fitness space or otherwise.
Absolutely.
There's this idea of how you do one thing is how you do all things.
That was a theme that came through from the recruiters I spoke to and also the people who are putting this type of thing on their resume.
They believe a marathon, it's hard work, training for it and the actual race itself.
So those values that a marathon requires translate to the workplace.
It does.
One recruiter gave me two or three examples of resumes he saw with fitness accomplishments listed.
And even if the person didn't ultimately get the job, it at least helped them get the interview.
Another person told me that he believes the fact that he added his marathons to his resume helped him get his most recent job.
One big theme that came up was this idea of a conversation starter.
These interviews sometimes can be a little awkward getting started and sometimes having, whether it's a fitness accomplishment or some other hobby listed, it gives the recruiter or the hiring manager somewhere to start to say, oh, hey, you ran a marathon in London.
What was that like?
Or maybe they're like-minded and they share the hobby that you list.
And that's something that the two of you can talk about.
