I wish that some of the professors my 2nd year at business school shared your point "Be authentic & have an opinion." Some were very old school and we spent ten frustrating weeks building a resume by talking about more font sizes and margins than content. My resume is usually the most helpful when interviewers see that I was the president of a rock climbing club and we have a truly organic conversation about the sport. Now after they see 50+ nearly identical resumes they still remember the climber. Always share some personality.
i'm a climber too and that actually helped me get noticed as well. i interviewed a guy recently that had "guitar hero expert" on his resume and it led to an awesome conversation. that kind of stuff matters way more.
