A university graduate was left 'humiliated' when he was asked to perform a dance at a job interview in a toe-curling scene reminiscent of spoof comedy, The Office. 一個大學畢業(yè)生在面試當中感到十分恥辱，因為他被要求表演惡搞性的舞蹈，這讓人聯(lián)想到惡搞喜劇《辦公室笑云》(The Office)中的種種“不體面”場景。

Self-confessed nerd Alan Bacon spent a week researching Currys in preparation for his interview as an £18,000 a year sales assistant earlier this week.But to his horror, all of his hard work went out of the window when he was told to make up a dance to an electro-pop record by French duo Daft Punk。當事人Alan Bacon稱自己為“書呆子”，他花了一周時間了解家電零售商Currys，為其申請該公司一個年薪1.8萬英鎊的銷售助理職位做準備。但讓他震驚的是，當他被要求在面試中，隨著法國二人愚蠢朋克音樂在眾人面前跳舞時，他所有的前期準備都付之東流。

《辦公室笑云》中的惡搞舞蹈

In an interview on BBC Radio 4's PM programme, Mr Bacon said: 'On the surface I really needed the job so I thought I’m going to get this over with, I’m going to smile, I’m going to do it. But inside it wasn’t a very pleasant experience。在BBC廣播下午四點的一檔訪談節(jié)目中，Bacon 說道，“表面上看起來，我的確非常需要這份工作，所以我認為我應該去做它，我需要微笑，我需要搞定這件事。但是在我心里覺得，這是個非常令人不快的經歷。”

'There was an older gentleman there who was telling us just before the interview that he was made redundant from his last job and had recently had a child so he was pretty desperate for this job and (we were) watching him having to dance to rap music.'“就在我們面試之前，有一個年齡稍大的先生告訴我們他剛剛有了一個小孩，卻被解雇了，所以十分需要得到Currys這份工作。而我們就站那兒，看著他不得不跟著饒舌樂跳舞。”

When he was first invited to the interview, the graduate had been asked to prepare a short presentation on a hobby.But when he did finally get to talk about his love of taking pictures of outer space, he said he had 'lost all dignity and all sense of professionality'。在面試開始時，Bacon被要求準備一段關于自己的愛好的簡短介紹，(在經歷跳舞之后)當他最后有機會談到關于太空攝影的愛好時，他說那時他感到自己“丟掉了所有的尊嚴和自己的專業(yè)性。”

Mr Bacon was contacted by the firm a few hours after the gruelling process had come to an end to tell him he had not got the job.Currys has since apologised for the what it described as a 'mistake'.A spokeswoman said: 'We are extremely disappointed that one of the management team at the store in question did not follow our official recruitment processes on this specific occasion - formal processes that ensure we attract, inspire and retain the right sort of people.We are investigating the store member who held the recruitment session.'在這次折磨人的面試結束后不久，Bacon就被告知自己沒有得到這份工作。Currys方面已經開始出面道歉，稱這次事件為一個“錯誤”。一個發(fā)言人說道：“我們非常遺憾地得知在這個特定的崗位上，公司的一個管理團隊沒有依照公司的招聘流程來錄用人員。我們的標準招聘流程能確保公司吸引，激勵，以及留住真正適合的人才。目前，我們正在調查相關招聘部門的負責人員。”

Mr Bacon has so far had 300 interviews in his quest to get a job. He was offered a repeat interview by the firm, but declined。到目前為止，Bacon已經經歷了300次面試。Currys給了他一次重新面試的機會，但是Bacon拒絕了。
