1) One of my hobbies turned into a major volunteering (400 hours) EC. Basically, most of the time, the hobby is a relaxed intellectual contest, people getting together and hanging out, solving puzzles. That is, until your team wins.
At that point, your team gets to plan and execute the next event. This means creating a 2-4 day event for 1K+ people from all over the world. 300 hours is my conservative estimate. The weekend of, I worked 40 hours, almost 100 hours in the two weeks before, and then the other 250 hours spread over a period of six months. Do I divide this into "hobby" and "volunteer"? I want to acknowledge that I had to teach myself video editing in the space of a week. -_-
2) My fish keeping is a hobby, but now I'm breeding an endangered species. Seriously. Does it get its own listing? (Do I get to attach pictures?
)
3) Do I list all my individual teaching jobs or just say that I've been teaching since (year X) in the following disciplines? That includes a stint as a teacher for underprivileged youth in which I set a table on fire.
4) How do I list the number of hours of research for my PhD? I was in grad school for
years, but (n-2) of those were doing research rotations or mostly writing my thesis.
