Include your passions.

Don’t be afraid to include a few words about your hobbies or what makes you tick, details that are unrelated to your job search. Stay away from anything political or religious, though. Offering insight into your out-of-work interests helps you come across as more personable, and it could distinguish you from other candidates.
