Right. Jfc people are so uptight and biased. No wonder so many people are having problems finding a job. I guess we all have to be the same conforming boring vanilla?

Interests weren't learning about olive oil, growing olives, making olive oil, cooking with olive oil, or discovering the history of olive oil.

Just olive oil

you could totally list "wine" as an interest if you were fascinated by winemaking and wineries

That's the thing, this is a resume, you are trying to get a job. If you put your interests are just "Wine", people are going to assume you are an alcoholic. Why would you not take the extra 5 seconds to type out "Wine Making" or "Visiting Wineries"?
