Yes of course, it's 100% relevant to your potential employer. Also you might want to include hobbies, your previous work, your address and telepnone number.

If you are Chinese you might want to include a "personal characters" section, with a badly translated and often hilarious personality self assesment.

And don't forget the obligatory picture of some actor or pop star. It seems to work in the streetwalker section in the classifieds....

Yep!! Definitely

I mentioned charity work in my resume, played it up in my interview and I think it was a big factor in marking me out for the job. If you've got it, flaunt it
