What is the craziest thing you have ever said or done at an interview and still managed to get the job?

Just wondering if anybody did anything particularly outstanding or different which either got you the job or convinced the interviewer that you're the one immediately.

I don't know if this is crazy but I once told an interviewer that I was willing to work without any pay because I value the opportunity to develop new skills and work experience more than the compensation of my time and effort. In the end, I got the job but they still paid me a salary.

I don’t think I did anything out of the ordinary but so far I had always prepared a PowerPoint slide for some of the key interviews that I really want to score a place in it. So the content in the PowerPoint usually includes what I’ve done to illustrate my strengths and also let the interviewer understand a bit more about myself.

I do consider myself sort of a freshie who only have 2 corporate work experience (including current). I do feel that with me preparing I did increase my chances of convincing the interviewer. So far I’ve only went to 3-4 interviews before I land myself a job.
