    Definitely help.

    It's good having one weird thing on your resume that will pique the interviewer's curiosity. Everyone has seen those commercials and I suspect about 90% of people can't stand them.

    When I was in law school applying for summer jobs, I had “loves sports trivia” in my interests. I probably got asked questions by 90% of the males that I interviewed with.

    My first job was at Disneyland. People have a lot of questions.

    I've been asked more about miscellaneous bullshit in that setting than the things I was prepared to discuss.

    Almost certain I got one job because I shared an oddball interest with the person interviewing me.

    There was a bigwig at a well-known paper in South Florida who would ask all - and I mean all - candidates what kindergarten they attended.

    The first question in a day-long interview.
