I'm finishing up the work/experience section and I have a few questions:
1. Is it better to group different hobbies? I still have a few entries left and wanted to add my hobbies, which include playing guitar/piano/sax/bass, backpacking, snowboarding, and playing IM basketball. They are quite different and I spend a significant amount of time in music and basketball. (I already have an entry for an alt rock band I've recorded with as an artistic endeavor, but it doesn't include all of my instruments and the hours don't include the time I spend playing on my own-- is it okay to list musician as an additional hobby entry?)
2. Is it common to max out the 700 characters? Most of my entries have like half description and half what I learned, taking up all 700 char. Would it be better to write more concise descriptions and omit certain details?
3. Are activities with ~30-40 hours not worth including? I volunteered at an adult day care for 20 hours and gathered data at the LA zoo for ~40 hours. Would the minimal hours be seen as "fluff"/be detrimental to my application?
4. How to list a tutoring/non-clin volunteer/leadership position? I've been in a tutoring club for 4 years and for the last 3 years I've been VP. I only have 30 non clinical volunteering hours and about 500 tutoring/non-clin volunteering hours from this club. How would you break up and classify this single activity (leadership vs volunteer vs tutoring)?
