The ones you really have to watch out for are those who write:

Blowing up toads FOR the one true Lord Satan.

I hire people and I usually don't pay a terrible amount of attention to
hobbies unless they are in excess or include things like blowing up toads
or giving my life to the one true Lord Satan.

No, people usually give away plenty in interviews.
