CV question

    Hey, I`ve just graduated from UCD and am in the middle of looking for a job(shudder :)) in the banking area.
    I was a member of the reserves/FCA and was wondering if it would be a good thing to put down on my cv due to the whole teamwork, working under pressure etc.
    Any thoughts? or should I just leave it as it isn`t exactly relevent to the job I`m looking at.
    Cheers.

    Put it down under "Interests". It'll show that you can work as part of a team, etc. Also looks good if the interviewer was/is in the reserve.

    and if they are anti war etc . . .

    just kidding, if nothing else it's a talking point and gives you an opportunity to tell them how great you are - leave it in.

    100% agree with above replies. Just because it wasnt a paid job doesnt mean you didnt gain any skills from it.
