What the hell kind of candidates are you getting? The fucking Mickey Mouse Club? If I received a resume with a "Personal Interests" section I would throw it in the trash. What makes that person think I give a flying fuck about their interests. I don't care about any interest you may have except doing the job I am looking to hire someone for. I want to see your credentials and will feel-out your personality in an interview where I MIGHT ask about personal interests. Come to think of it, you can impress me by having a "Personal Interests" section and putting NONE so that I know you will have no issues about slaving your ass off for me. Personal Interests, you are a lawyer for fuck's sake so you don't have time for personal interests. What is with kids these days?
Edited to say that I should have read the other responses before repeating essentially what everyone else fucking said. Shit.
