Two days ago BBC News interviews a man waiting in a hotel lobbie in London for a job interview mistaking him for an expert in an economic matter. In the mean time the expert watches on TV the whole ordeal..... This is the interview. It is heartbreaking to see how the man (from an African country) improvises about a subject he doesn´t know nothing about probably thinking that was the weirdest job interview he ever went through!!!!!! http://img.dailymail.co.uk/video/cabbie.wmv
This is the story told by the expert..... http://www.newswireless.net/index.cfm/article/2708 No word yet on whether the guy got the job or not.
A similar thing happened on NPR a while back. They meant to do a telephone interview with an economist, but called the wrong person and they were interviewing an opera singer instead.
