If someone actually listed "Binge-watching Netflix shows" on a resume, I would hands-down move their resume to the front of the line.

Usually people only have one actually interesting "interest" from an interviewer's perspective, but TCR is always to list three. I have only ever been asked about one if my interests, and its the same interest every time (but it gets asked about often)
