A university graduate says he was left
humiliated after being asked to dance to a Daft Punk song during a job
interview at an electronics superstore.
Alan Bacon, 21, thought working at Currys in Cardiff would be ideal
given his love of cameras, and he spent a week preparing for the interview.
Is this some sort of stunt
by companies in Britain that for the first week of September they’ll all act
like complete morons, first c2c suspend one of their employees for rescuing a
women from the train tracks and now Currys make people dance to a Daft Punk
song during a job interview, what is going on.
Thankfully Currys have
seen sense and apologised and admitted that the dance segment of the interview
was “not part of the official recruitment process,” really I’d never have
guessed that.
It’s a well known secret
in the electronics industry that being able to bust a move or two makes you a
better salesman, what next will Currys issue a memo to all their sales staff
instructing them to grind up against any customers who spend more than five
minutes browsing in a particular section of their stores.
Despite the apology Mr
Bacon didn’t get the job, but frankly I think he had a lucky escape.
