On my CV I have written things about my interest in theme parks and that I have a blog with rollercoaster photos on. I've been going to a lot of interviews recently and almost without fail I am asked 'so you're an adrenaline junkie?' or 'I see you're an adrenaline junkie.'
But I wouldn't say I was. I probably wouldn't do a skydive or bungee jump and the thought of any kind of motorsport makes me feel ill. Rollercoasters may provide adrenaline but that isn't the reason I really like them (or theme parks in general).
But when you have a few seconds to form a response in an interview, it just seems easier to say 'yes'. I have wondered what sort of connotations that carries, if anything. Would it be better than say...explaining about themeing and immersion and storytelling through rides (it probably depends on the interviewer tbh), which is where my personal interest lies.
So how many people here would consider themselves an 'adrenaline junkie'?
(Incidentally I would always advise to put interesting hobbies down on your CV, they are great ice-breakers and show you have some actual enthusiasm for life that will set you apart from 'socialising with my friends' and 'going to the cinema')
