Testing me about the things I enjoy in my personal life that are unrelated to how I perform my job is a gross practice that shouldn't be tolerated. I have pretty regular hobbies, I like reading, movies, board games, I play drums, I like seeing bands, I participate in some activist groups. Why is this any business of a prospective employer? I was asked recently what my favorite genre of music is and when I said punk rock I was asked "why do you like punk rock?". Do you understand why I might find this to be weird and invasive and cause me to question what aspects of myself are really being interrogated in an interview like that?
