A university graduate says he was left humiliated after being asked to dance to a Daft Punk song during a job interview at an electronics superstore. Alan Bacon, 21, thought working at Currys in Cardiff would be ideal given his love of cameras, and he spent a week preparing for the interview.

But instead of showcasing his skills, he ended up doing robotic-style dancing “like a scene out of [BBC TV comedy] The Office”. Currys has since apologised. It has also admitted that the dance segment of the interview had been a mistake and was not part of its official recruitment processes.
