Interesting job interview technique

EricTheWeary

 Eric Jr had a job interview this morning. Didn't go well for various reasons but, essentially, just not the job as was advertised. 
The interview was conducted whilst walking around the factory unit where the company turns cheap Chinese light fittings into 'custom made' boutique light fittings ( yep). At one point during the walking interview the chap comes to a halt against some old factory fittings and, without stopping talking, gets his little chap out and uses the fittings as an improvised urinal. Then carries on walking and talking before they went over the road to a cafe and finish the interview. 
My son is still bemused and won't be taking the job if offered.

That's just taking the piss...

Wasn't advertised as a blow job, then..?

I think they are looking for workers who will accept any kind of behaviour from the management

Report him for getting his cock out in front of your son

Sailing quite close to being reported to someone even if not the police. Apparently the company workforce is mostly women, although they are contract workers who weren't in yesterday, so I'm presuming this isn't his normal behaviour at work

Maybe, although I find it hard to believe anyone planned to take a piss in the middle of an interview.

Well, gets slightly stranger as they've sent an email this morning asking him back for a second interview. My son has declined.

Maybe he should reply (as I'm assuming it's from the HR team) and ask if that is standard practice for their interviews, as he found it incredibly unprofessional and is wondering if that is a reflection on the company etc.

I would be straight onto the health and safety executive about that. Absolutely vile.

It was via an agency ( although a permanent post) so he's letting them know his concerns about the job not being as advertised ( considerable discrepancy between the ad and what they said on the day) and that it wasn't a professionally managed interview. I think he's had enough of it now so doesn't want to take it any further. He's not distraught or anything just fed up that he wasted his time ( and mine as I helped him with the application) and rather puzzled why anyone would behave that way. 
Certainly a first, I used to do a lot of interviewing and I never did that. I did have an applicant belly dance once though ( her presentation on skill development).

Surely this didn't actually happen!

At one interview for a position within the Music Industry, I was asked why I wanted the job - to which I replied "because I love music..." I got that far before he bellowed (in a quiet hotel lobby where he was conducting the interview)

"Yes, but I love anal sex..."

There was no answer to that.

He then started insulting lots of other friends of mine that worked in the industry, calling them every name under the sun, describing their wives/girlfriends in great depth as to whether or not they'd "get fucked" by him... I sat there in shock for a few moments, before I stood up and said:

"I'm bringing this to a halt - I came here as a professional, and I was expecting professional behaviour from you. I am not prepared to sit here and listen to you insulting people I have respect and love for, no matter what your personal opinion of them is. Thank you for your time. Goodbye."

I walked away and didn't look over my shoulder.

Professionalism dictates that I won't reveal who this prick was - but he's a "respected" member of the MI fraternity. I won't have anything more to do with the company that he runs as a result...

sounds like a pissing contest

My girlfriend was caught up in the same situation once. In all fairness she apologised to the young lad afterwards.

but was his missus fit or not?

So your son's not a team player?
He should've gone one better and taken a dump, shown a bit of initiative.

Reminds me of  Masterchef when they ask why do you want to be there and the answer is 'because I love food' and I shout at the telly ' no that's what makes you a fat bastard' although I don't think Greg Wallace has ever then said ' like I love anal sex.'  Well, if he does they edit that bit out. 

That's shocking, I don't expect everyone to be great at interviewing but I'm sure they must know this stuff isn't right.

re:OP - beggars belief in this day and age. I'd definitely shop the bloke, might be he needs help.
