    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.
