‘Save the cartoon impressions for parties, not job interviews’: Interviewee torpedos their chance at their dream job by impulsively revealing a hidden talent

How is an interviewee supposed to toe the line between sharing the best version of themselves, while also not over-revealing their talents in the workplace? Obviously, you want your prospective employer to know that you’re skilled under pressure, a versatile problem solver, and an overachieving worker, but when it comes down to that all-important interview, sometimes we forget the bullet point skills we rehearsed in the shower and default to our goofiest setting.

Seemingly lost in the sauce with his curated interview answers, u/Odd-Welder1771 completely torpedoed his chance at his dream job after sharing a secret talent that had nothing to do with the workplace: His highly refined Spongebob impression.
