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. 一个大学毕业生在面试当中感到十分耻辱，因为他被要求表演恶搞性的舞蹈，这让人联想到恶搞喜剧《办公室笑云》(The Office)中的种种“不体面”场景。
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。当事人Alan Bacon称自己为“书呆子”，他花了一周时间了解家电零售商Currys，为其申请该公司一个年薪1.8万英镑的销售助理职位做准备。但让他震惊的是，当他被要求在面试中，随着法国二人愚蠢朋克音乐在众人面前跳舞时，他所有的前期准备都付之东流。
《办公室笑云》中的恶搞舞蹈
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广播下午四点的一档访谈节目中，Bacon 说道，“表面上看起来，我的确非常需要这份工作，所以我认为我应该去做它，我需要微笑，我需要搞定这件事。但是在我心里觉得，这是个非常令人不快的经历。”
'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.'“就在我们面试之前，有一个年龄稍大的先生告诉我们他刚刚有了一个小孩，却被解雇了，所以十分需要得到Currys这份工作。而我们就站那儿，看着他不得不跟着饶舌乐跳舞。”
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'。在面试开始时，Bacon被要求准备一段关于自己的爱好的简短介绍，(在经历跳舞之后)当他最后有机会谈到关于太空摄影的爱好时，他说那时他感到自己“丢掉了所有的尊严和自己的专业性。”
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.'在这次折磨人的面试结束后不久，Bacon就被告知自己没有得到这份工作。Currys方面已经开始出面道歉，称这次事件为一个“错误”。一个发言人说道：“我们非常遗憾地得知在这个特定的岗位上，公司的一个管理团队没有依照公司的招聘流程来录用人员。我们的标准招聘流程能确保公司吸引，激励，以及留住真正适合的人才。目前，我们正在调查相关招聘部门的负责人员。”
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。到目前为止，Bacon已经经历了300次面试。Currys给了他一次重新面试的机会，但是Bacon拒绝了。
