    Fuckers ask me for my hobbies and shit as if they need to know about that

    Dont know if this is true for every recruiter but the guy who selected me for one internship I did told me that he did that to see candidates talk about something they genuinely to later compare it with how they answer when they are asked why they want the position

      Assuming we're talking about desk jobs at big companies:

      That's why you lie about absolutely everything. "My hobbies are biking, gardening, balancing my budget, trying new things and going on adventures. :)" Basically create a new bootlicking persona that lasts for the interview and your first month at the job. Or at least until you've gotten used to your job tasks.

      After that you can let it dissolve to reveal the true armchair leftist goblin inside. "HAH, I can't remember the last time I exercised or spent more than half an hour outside. Hey, anyone read the Bullshit Jobs book? I've got a copy if you want to read it." Odds are it'll be an expensive pain in the ass to replace you at that point, so as long as you're half way competent and don't start any fights they should keep you on until the next hiring rounds begin. Maybe even after that if they get used to you.
