My cat walked across my keyboard mid Zoom interview and typed 'jjjjjjjj' into the chat, and the hiring manager wrote back 'nice', and honestly that broke my brain more than any advice my old boss ever gave me
Six months of interview prep and it was a 14 pound tabby named Biscuit who taught me that people hire the real you, not the scripted one, so has anyone else had a pet tank a call and somehow come out ahead?

The part about people hiring the real you is the key thing here and I'd take it even further. That manager replying "nice" was basically saying your cat did what no amount of prep could, it made you seem like an actual person instead of a resume reading answers off a screen. I've heard of people bombing the scripted stuff and then landing the job because they laughed at themselves when something went wrong. The meltdown is the interview sometimes, as long as you don't actually panic.
