If you're in a computer science or game development interview, and the interviewer asks:

Do you have any hobbies?

What do you say to impress them?

  • I enjoy playing video games and coding a lot
  • I don't really have any hobbies
  • Listing a hobby not related to the industry

Which would you choose and why?

When I am not sitting in front of a monitor, I like to see action comedy movie of Jackie Chan in a dark room. My dream is to product video games based on Jackie Chan’s action comedy movies. My favorite sports are swimming, gymnastics.

They are just trying to see if you are a cultural fit for the team. Answer honestly, don't over think.

Maybe they mean worthwhile hobbies, or what do you like to do other than video games? What other interest do you have?
