skip thread if you don't like rants, it's kind of a off the top rant caused by frustration i had recently
so apparently hobbies are a big deal in job interviews, and i think it's fucking retarded. i'm not a rotter, but i just don't have a particular activity that i like to do in my free time extensively. "hobbies" are a retarded concept since it's not like literally everyone has this precise activity where they put in hours of their day just for the fun of it, most guys (at least where i live) just like to chill and parttake in normie activities like listening to music, going out and whatever. ask somebody what their hobbies are, and most ppl will awkwardly have a run down of their activities in their head trying to find at least one that counts as a hobby, and i myself had this moment of panic in some social situations and job interviews.
the thing that grinds my gears is that not only is what you do on your free time somehow relevant to the job you're trying to take, but it's also a pretty important criteria used by employers when choosing between candidates. what the fuck does that have to do with how well you will do at your job ? the funny thing is that the only thing that is left after having a first failure with this is basically fucking lying and listing some hobbies that you wouldn't ever do in a million years, just to sound more "appetizing" to the employer, it's fucking retarded. it's like even lowlife ass jobs like assembly lines and shit require you to be a super-active person after the job, as if those jobs even leave you time out of work for those hobbies to begin with. at this point i'd rather get hired at some sad wageslave factory and work all day there to kill some time and make some money to get my life started, but instead i gotta rot all day with nothing to do because employers are looking for "interesting people", even though being a serious productive person is literally all about leaving your personal life outside of work
and yes, if the assembly line anecdote sounded oddly specific to you, it's because some time ago i had a job interview at an assembly line and i've gotten fucking rejected just because i couldn't list fictional hobbies off the dome. fucking kill me
