Apparently the UK version of Best Buy has a new interview technique.
I wonder if someone shot at their feet?
I’m so glad my working days are over. I don’t think I’d last a year anywhere these days.
Oh - FUCK 'EM!
Sweet Jesus.
That would probably piss me off enough to say “No, I think you’re going to dance for me.” in a vaguely threatening manner. 
Well, to be fair, it was part of a team-building exercise, not the interview itself, although I’m at a loss as to how that was supposed to work, exactly.
Certainly rather silly and pointless. What next, snipe hunts?
“In Soviet Union . . .”
To be fair, the Snipe population in the back parking lot IS getting out of hand…
Good to see David Brent got a new job after the paper company.
It’s not quite the In the Company of Men job interview, but getting there.
I don’t get it. Why were they doing “team-building” if they hadn’t even been hired yet?
I’d be happy to dance in a job interview, as long as the interviewer dances first.
If they were asking female candidates to do stripteases, that would be one thing; but, if they are just asking them to do something potentially embarrassing, it can be legitimate request. It is a quick test of self-assurance and willingness to play along. These can be attributes that are beneficial in positions that deal with people.
They can also be utter meaningless bullshit. I’m so sorry for the dignified humans among us who must perform this bullshit because of some bullshit that an unqualified Manager or HR hack read in a bullshit trade magazine. Who moved my bullshit cheese?
Right.
I bet you can squeal like a pig. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Don’t want to? No job for you!
I would never, ever ask someone to dance in a job interview, because if you’re interviewing eight people for one position it’s incredibly degrading to ask people to dance for a job they’re not going to get. I would never do that.
As for me personally, though, I’d be happy to dance in a job interview, but only because I’m a really, really fantastic dancer. If the interviewers said “We’re a really tight knit bunch here and we all love dancing, could you show us your moves?” I’d modestly answer “Uhh…okay, that’s really strange but I suppose so” but inwardly say “Seriously? Dancing? Hah! Check this shit out, suckers!” I might not get the job, but afterwards they’d say “He wasn’t right for the position, but man could that motherfucker dance!”
But again, that’s just me.
I would blink in astonishment and walk out.
Moonwalk out and you’re hired!
“Before we hire you, here at Arthur Murray’s, we’d like to see you do some soldering.”
If you want to be an English teacher in Thailand, you have to learn Thai traditional dance. Really. Which makes me glad I’m not an English teacher. But one of the courses in the program leading up to a teaching license for foreigners is a Thai-culture course, which has a traditional-dance segment. Teachers here are paid crap to begin with. Having to prance about was the final straw that made them move on to another country.
Yo dawg, you gots to show me the stanky leg before you gets to be a lawyer with THIS firm, feel me?
So you think you can get off unemployment?
You wanna work, you better twerk.
It was part of the interview.
bolding mine
Not a legitimate part of said interview.
Someone decided to fuck with job applicants.
