Just heard on the radio that someone was asked (as part of his interview) to dance, so the panel could evaluate his characteristics to see if he would fit into the company.

Can you imagine? And…..what if they played Wuthering Heights??

So would you do it……or tell em to Shove it?

I’d tell them to jog on and walk out, it’s definitely a shit thing to do to people desperate for a job

This was Currys too.

I thought their key recruitment questions were;

1) are you under 25
2) do you have acne
3) do you know nothing about any electrical item found in a domestic environment

Answer yes to all 3 and the job’s yours.

That would be this one then

Seems a bit odd but if they think thats what they need from their staff, fair enough.

Plus 1, what are you telling them exactly. That your a performing monkey.

Assuming its true of course.

I don’t see the problem, I mean surely an accountant needs to be able to knock some shapes out.

I would do it if all the panel also got up and danced as well, which obviously they would as that is the type of people that work at Curry’s, courtesy of their careful interviewing process.

I’m off to Currys as it goes, I will imagine all staff doing the Brent dance.

Can’t dance?!?!?!

OUT, OUT, OUT, OUT, GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!!!!!!

Was it Nev interviewing?

They need to get over themselves, it is a job in Curry’s. Application form, interview, offer. No need for all the **** creative guff.

I would have walked, but then if I was desperate for a job…

If the job was in somewhere like this fair question, if not the interviewer read something on the internet when searching for Cool Interview Techniques because I’m a sad middle manager with no real skills

I’d ask back “Ballet, modern, disco or ballroom?”

Unless one of the interview panel was hot as hell and you fancied molesting them the only suitable response would be to get cracking with the gay gordon.

Been given a jigsaw with a piece missing in one interview. Never been asked to dance, and would give them a rendition of my best dancing, probably involving kicking tables over.

“Ballrooms’s my thing, which one of you guys on the panel will be the woman?”

I’d give em Riverdance—all two hours of it. Then I’d do my knife-throwing party piece while we discussed terms and conditions.
Human resources … come the revolution you lot are first in the wicker man 👿

I once got given a mathematical problem in one interview for a scientific position, they passed me some paper to do it on.

I did it in my head, in about 2 seconds flat….consequently… they thought I guessed it. Then I got badgered as to how I did it and finally…I didn’t get the job.

Wasn’t asked to dance, but I did have to compete a personality test. It turns out I’m pretty poor at completing personality tests….

“I only dance naked to Pinball Wizard”

Graduate going for a job in Currys because he loves cameras. Its almost painful how desperate that sounds.

I used to work in Currys when I was at college. I was under 25, had acne and didn’t know the first thing about hoovers.

That said, I was in the warehouse mucking around with the conveyor belt that took stuff upstairs, pallet trucks and helping people put washing machines into the back of Fiestas. Thinking back, riding my bike (Zaskar with purple anodised bits!) up the conveyor belt when it was coming down was brilliant.
