What are the craziest and coolest interests you’ve seen?

porn
If I were interviewing someone who put porn as an interest I would hire them on the spot
true story -- know someone who did porn in college after taking a gap year who eventually made it to IB
Guy or girl?
Imma need the source to confirm that.
Extravagant steak dinners
I have Golf, golf, and more golf as my interests, it's a pretty good conversation starter.
i would hire you
Do I need to send you my GHIN # for the first round?
not an interest but someone put googling as a skill.
Googling well is a phenomenal skill… it sounds dumb but I’d pay a premium for the candidate that can spend 5 minutes answering their own question with efficient research (and throw in a kicker if they know when to stop spinning their wheels and ask for help)
Definitely agree, but his one and only skill was googling so it was just weird.
I have heard bizarre things in my life......but this is just wow
Nepotism.
Worked for me before. Not kidding. Second person in history to work there after 40 years circumventing the nepotism rule.
I think that kid is on this website.....saw a post about this a while back.
Does paramotoring count? I have it on my resume. It’s pretty niche so I’ve been asked about it at coffee chats and over the phone plenty of times. Great conversation starter.
"Former Olympic athlete..." in a H/S/W resume book I had on my desk fairly recently. Classic undersell.
I mean hey man, if that's a flex you have, I say play it.
Cologne was a weird one. Heard of someone putting the link to Barstool Smokeshows
WSOP final table
hired and he quit first week
Hookers
"Fitness modeling" with a link to her Instagram.
We pulled up her profile, she did not get an interview.
Brutal
She wasn't ugly, just not hot enough to overcome a 3.2 GPA and zero work experience
I've seen this:
Interests: Drinking Scotch with a nice cigar
Saw one yesterday that had "fine French cuisine" listed. To me it's not weird that he likes it, it's weird that he would list that on a resume.
For a college club but some kid wrote “global thinker w global experience” or something like that and listed locations he had traveled to including vacation spots like the Caribbean
