Starting to think that it isn’t worth it. I had an interview this past week and the guy asked me about it and how it would help the work environment.
I gave the most obvious answer that if there were an intruder I could defend my colleagues from any danger.
He looked at me weird and just sort of dropped the question as a whole. I’m not embarrassed by my training, but I don’t want to have to explain it either.

You should kick his ass to show him why it’s a valuable skill
Would risk it all for Alona Tal crew. 15/10
Carly Rae Jepsen personal 11/10

Yeah that's a really really stupid answer. What you should have said is how martial arts has taught you discipline and toughness which will make you a better employee. More able to work under pressure, more resilient to stress, better able to meet deadlines and accomplish goals.

If you defeat him in one-on-one combat you get the job, if you defeat the shareholders then you get the company.

what a dumbass questionOriginally Posted by TheScapeGOAT
why even draw those weird connections between someone's private life and job? it shouldn't matter unless you're a drug addict or something. not like you can't get a good idea of what kind of person one is without asking this kind of weird bullchit all the time.
just lol if you're not aiming to become self-employed and avoid being a dancing monkey while job hunting tbh.Trump

Bruh.
Assuming this cringe is srs, you don't put hobbies on your resume unless they are directly related to the job you're applying for.
Mentioning your impressionist artwork on a resume for a graphic design job = good idea
Mentioning your impressionist artwork on a resume for a forklift operator job = cringe
Otherwise, if the job interview goes well, they'll ask about your personal interests just to size you up as a person. Then you might mention martial arts if you still do it, and mention the above about discipline and resilience. If it's some chit you did ten years ago and haven't accomplished anything since, never mention it again.
Part of the interview process is figuring out if you understand what's relevant or not and can communicate. A resume with chit that doesn't matter on it is self-sabotage from the start.Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.
