Putting College Athletics on Resume?
Hi! I'm helping my husband write his first resume ever (he currently works for the family business, but it looking for a new career). We are both about 10 years out of college and both played sports in college. I had my college team listed under "Personal" along with my volunteering and sorority experience, but I recently took the team out since I thought it was a little dated and I wanted less clutter. Anyways, I was wondering if I should include my husband's athletic experiences because, although it took place 10+ years ago, they went to the national championships. I think it's pretty impressive, but I'm not sure if that would wow potential employers, especially if he is looking to get into a career that is not at all related. Thoughts? If you graduated college about 10 years ago, did you include extracurriculars that aren't really relevant? TIA!

IMO, I would not have it on there. With ten years of work experience, there really isn't a reason for extra-curricular activies to be on a resume anymore. Work experience is much more important to a hiring manager.
What sport was it? Was it D1? Answering this might change my answer.
For example, if he played D1 basketball for Duke and was on the NCAA 2001 championship team, and you happened to live in NC where people would be interested...I may say leave it.
He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.

Resume should be organized as follows:
Name
Contact info
Relevant work experience
Education
leadership positions at school
clubs & activities
sports
