A new study from GolfSupport(link is external) found that mentioning that you play a sport on your CV increases your employability by 39% and that 68% of successful candidates at the 200 companies surveyed said they played a sport. 12% of recent hires mentioned that they were cyclists, making it the fourth most successful sport for increasing employability. Applicants who take part in athletics were the most successful, with 20% of recent hires including it on their CV. Tennis and rugby were second and third with 16% and 14% before cycling came next in fourth, ahead of football and boxing.

Cynical idealist
If you mention in an application that it's your actual form of day to day transport they have a different view.

If you mention you're a Daily Mail enthusiast and comment on "Human Ken Doll" Articles then your chances of employment are around the same as winning the Euro millions...

Some extremely dubious maths there.
