Umm, are you applying to be a Kung fu teacher, performer, etc, etc? If not, then you need to seriously cut back on the whole Kung Fu part of your resume.
I know that your Kung fu training is a big part of “WHO YOU ARE”, & that is great for you, but in the eyes of an HR person who is converting your resume into searchable keywords, it won’t be helpful at all. Don’t excise it all, it can show your prospective employer that you are disciplined, committed, etc. But if you are applying for a job in technical repair, you really need to highlight that skill set that you have.
I suggest tweaking your resume for every job that you apply to. Look carefully at the job description. Use the same words they list there to describe your skills (but only when it’s true, please don’t lie.) With so much HR automated, some person or computer will scan your documents, looking solely for the keywords they need.
Good luck with the job hunt– Don’t get discouraged. It will take 10 or more rejections until you land your dream job.
