Electronics retailer Currys have been forced to apologise to a University graduate after he was forced to dance to a Daft Punk song during a job interview at one of their stores.

Alan Bacon is a recent graduate from the University of South Wales and has applied for over 300 jobs since he graduated including the one at the Cardiff branch of Currys.

Upon arriving at the interview, Bacon says that he and 8 other applicants were forced to compete in a dance-off style competition in order to land the role.

"I think everyone initially thought it was a joke," Bacon told The Mirror.

"But they were serious. All professionalism went out of the window. I’d spent the past week researching the company and looking forward to being able to express myself and talk about what I love doing. But I just felt so embarrassed and uncomfortable. I ended up dancing to 'Around the World' by Daft Punk, doing rubbish robotics in my suit in front of a group of strangers.

"It was so degrading, but I am desperate for work, so I just smiled and got on with it. I told my dad it was like a scene out of The Office. I’ve been to quite a few job interviews and have never had to do anything like it before. Another middle aged guy looked really upset as he danced to a rap song."

Bacon was later told that he was unsuccessful because “he wouldn’t fit in with the team.”

A spokesperson for Currys said: "Regrettably, the store in question did not follow our official recruitment processes on this specific occasion.

"We are very sorry to those interviewees impacted on this occasion and would like to invite them back to attend an official interview where they will be given a proper opportunity to demonstrate how they can contribute to our business."
