Nope, feels too much like wish fulfillment.

Very, very rarely. One time I did, though, was because I didn’t study the topic enough. I asked an insider, a current employee, friend-of-a-friend, for advice. They said to not focus on it and only on my experience. After I did t get any info back from HR, I asked and promised I’d only reply with “thank you”. They said I bombed the interview because I didn’t cover the topic enough. My insider was either wrong or misled me.

One other time they actually called me back later and emphasized I was missing the key point. I had 90% of what they wanted but the 10% included a deal breaker.

Mind you, this is HUNDREDS of applications.
