Re: Would you mention poker in a job interview?
Asking about hobbies is common, especially if the job involves interpersonal skills. A person's hobbies are usually used to find out if that person enjoys the company of other people, or if they prefer solitary pursuits.
If your salesman's hobbies are collecting foreign currancy, and building detailed models of ships, odds are your salesman doesn't actually enjoy human contact and will be crippled as a salesman.
