Interests/ Hobbies
Write these in note form. They should indicate that you are a well-balanced person.
Try and include things which will enhance your CV, such as any positions of responsibility or activities that you are involved in organising.
Potential employers often ask questions at interview about interests, so make sure you can talk about what you claim to have an interest in! do not tell lies.

Yea, I keep that to myself in work situations. I don't care so much about letting people know in social situations, because I think I can probably sway their minds or at least encourage them to leave their minds open about astrology if I just talk about it with them for a while. Friends and people I meet that I don't distrust, I will happily tell them about astrology. However, in work situations, that is not something I want to be known at the get go, hobby or not. I have ambitions, and I refuse to let biases over things like that influence my position. If I feel like I'm firmly somewhere, I will let my understandings known if I feel the time is right, but not when I'm applying for something, certainly not. I can be very vague and secretive in situations where I don't think people need to know about my personal life, though I can get like this in work situations or social situations. Something to do with being a pisces with neptune in the first house, perhaps.

There's no need to lie - just be 'creative' about the truth - ie. You own a cat .... so you love animals, you tried water skiing on holiday - so you like water sports, you mentioned about the camera - so you've got an interest in photography ..... get the picture (Sorry!) ..... I'm sure you can work the rest out for yourself - and as for the gym - tell him... you don't have to look and act like Arnie or Sylvester to have an interest in health !......

Don't even consider lieing, actually think about something that you have always wanted to do...go and do it, and then put it on you're CV.
CVs are not a record of what you have done, your actual experiences are, and being able to talk about them with entusiasm will count for a lot.
Don't try to convince people you are active and interesting, go out there and actually be those things!!

I wouldn't suggest lying, because if you list some extreme hobby, you may get asked about it at a job interview. Your lies will then be as transparent as a window-pane. Make yourself sound as interesting as possible. Anything that involves using your brain, like doing quizzes or puzzles shows that you like to stay sharp, or list some of your favourite authors if you like reading. Just think of anything about yourself that's worth sharing-any prospective employer will appreciate it. :)

THE TRUTH. Why do you need to start off with a new employer by telling a lie? It will be your capability for the work that counts and no doubt your general demeanour.

Erm. OK, I may be a bit naive about this but I wouldn't lie. Get the job under your own merits or not at all. Sorry.
