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

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.
