    I've never asked about them in any interviews I've done and I can only recall one time when anybody I know said they were asked about theirs.

    I've never been asked in an interview, but I've seen quite a few job applications that want to know "a bit about yourself" so you might as well just list a few bullet points showing you're not a mong that stays at home all weekend booting a dog.

    I don't really care what they do in their spare time, but sometimes I might ask stuff like what music they're into. Not because it matters, but just to try and make the interview more conversational and less formal.

    I'll hopefully be leaving team engineer in the next year or so.

    Graduating on to bigger and better things hopefully.

    Might even try and join team finance.

    Yup

    I think it's a fair question, you can generally see how boring they are and put that in the memory banks

    On a day when you've already admitted you couldn't dress yourself properly is there much debate?

    I see some Aussie rugby bloke is in trouble for having an opinion. I don't know what to think here... I find religious types fairly bonkers, but if they want to believe that homosexuality/atheism/thieves are bad... then so be it. Are we gonna get to the point where you can only represent your country if you're a atheist lefty?

    Maybe don't equate that one with the others.
