In my old job, I did a lot of interviewing and hiring. I saw people write extensively about all sorts of useless skills, ranging from hockey and poker (he even listed the tournaments he did well in) to being a good sibling. I didn't end up hiring any of them, but it worries me that out there somewhere, <i>someone</i> did. Hah! In my old job, I did a lot of interviewing and hiring.
