TO think its quite nice to have a dance at an interview (light-hearted)

[TrueStory]

re. Currys interview technique for their shop candidates.

It sounds a lot more fun than any any interview I've ever been on, and would have given me an edge.

AIBU?

Ooops, just seen another Currys thread, that casts them in a rather more negative light !

I think it was demeaning. How could dancing show a retailer the potential a prospective employee has?
I think it was done deliberately to humiliate . They were bastards to do this.

They make interviewees dance??

How mortifying!

And stupid.

Did the interviewers join in?

I'm with Calinsalach on this one. Nothing nice about being humiliated. especially when it's to people who are trying to do their best in difficult times

God no. I would walk out. It's demeaning and humiliating.

Honestly, I've seen worse at interviews. Whats your best/worst features? What are your views on "diversity"? What is great about our company?

A nice dance would have been light relief, by comparison.

But obviously I am wrong .

(ironic)

They make you dance? I only worked there for two years (and moved onto a chocolate shop, much more fun and we got to ear leftover tasters!) and never had that. Changed so much.

I would have no chance! I'll stick to nursing!

I would have argued that dancing has nothing to do with the job advertised, thanked them for their time, walked out, gone home and made a complaint to head office.

I don't fucking dance in my own time, even when drunk, there's no way I'd have done it for a job interview.
