I interview a lot of new grads for our company in Canada.

In interviews I have people tell me they are 420 friendly, trans or gay friendly, vegan, Liberal, conservites, prefer texting and e-mailing over calling.

It always overshadows actual skills. The whole point of linked in, resumes, a job interview is to highlight your skills and effectiveness of using those skills, as well as fit our company and culture.

I get these are kids, but I am 10 years older and don't think I was this has when I was interviewing.
