BBC Sticks Job Interview Candidate on air...by mistake! ;)

Hello,

Saw this on the beeb's news site this morning.

It's about a chap who went for an interview for an IT post but got mistaken for a technology correspondent and was put live on air in an interview on the BBC's 24hrs news channel—News 24.

You can watch the news item too, you will need Windows Media Player (or Flip4Mac QT Codec) or RealOne Player.

The poor chap in this instance was asked about the Apple vs. Apple court case judgement that came this time last week.

What a poor soul and blimey talk about the ultimate job interview, seeing how you cope live on air to millions of people! :flower: I'd of been right in there if they mistook me for the technology correspondant. *chuckles*

Vicky

Blimey! Just watched the interview.
That guy looked completely befuddled.
Alex

Ha, yeah iwhat showed us that in the IRC chat, thanks for bringing it with more detail and to the rest of the community.

So, did he get the job? After that they own him something.

He sure should rman! Anybody who does that for a job interview deserves the job for havung the balls!

He was just a taxi driver too. I was reading about it on sunday in the guardian.

Actually the article says hes not a cab driver. The paper printed it wrong. Hes from the congo new graduate.

No wonder nobody reads the gaurdian. I did read it different in The Sun but being a Liverpool fan The Sun should not be read by me.

Just making conscious notes here not to do a Boris Johnson :flower:

Indeed not he's not a cabbie at all. I reckon if someone steps though the frames you could probably accurately pinpoint the moment the poor chap fills his pants.

Vicky

haha! and its honor roll lil, not honour :biohazard silly UK spellings...

Haha, you spotted it at last :flower: I did originally have "I was on the M-F Cheese and Ham Roll" but then came up with an even more cunning plan *cackles*

Pretty funny story

p.s. Guardian > Sun (Rubbish)

Although, The Independent > ALL.
