Store rapped over dance interviews

DIY giant B&Q have come under fire after candidates at job interviews for van drivers were asked to dance and pull funny faces.

Several jobseekers attending an interview at the firm's store in Norwich faced the bizarre request to dance.

The Jackson 5's hit Blame It On The Boogie was played and some were photographed by managers.

One of those interviewed said he felt like an "idiot" as well as being embarrassed by the unusual request.

Ed Blissett, an official of the GMB union, which has members at B&Q, said: "This is utterly bizarre. It seems to reduce jobs our members do to some kind of joke. It is time that B&Q stops this nonsense."
