CULTURE: The 'You Can Dance If You Want To' Job Interview

Apparently, David Brent has found a job working for B&Q Warehouse, the DIY giant. As the chain expands and finds need for more delivery drivers they're looking to employ a responsible crew they thought, "What better way to find a talented crew than see how well they dance?"

Answer: None.

B&Q held a series of interviews where prospective employees were asked to show their moves. Interviewees were not forced to dance but credit where it's due, the company selected infectious Jackson 5 hit "Blame It On The Boogie," so how could they not? In fact, some managers snapped some fabulous pictures to commemorate the occasion. Fun was had by all. What a day!

Unfortunately, many are sore about the whole thing. The Britain General Union the GMB find the whole idea preposterous and humiliating.

One jobseeker felt embarrassed by the request and felt like an "idiot" as he performed for the hiring staff. Why? Probably because he was an idiot. Dancing is a well known metaphor for life. In a formal statement, B&Q explained that a dance-off is the only fair measure of a DIY man, a man with the confidence to succeed in this DIY world, and a man who is truly B&Q material. In life, you never know what the 'I' is gonna be in DIY.

Here is B&Q man.

A performing Seal can be good!

I'm officially jealous.

I used to work for B&Q and even though I danced, it certainly wasn't by request!

I would have said that my wooden leg is playing up.

That is Beautiful.
